For The Love of DC
Song of the Day
Ian Mackaye spoke at the Library of Congress this week and talked a little bit about his brief time in Teen Idles:“Teen Idles played for a year and then broke up. We saved every dollar we ever made. It was in a cigar box. So, when we broke up, instead of splitting the money between the four of us — each getting two-hundred-and-some dollars — we decided that we would document the music that we had been making. You can imagine, by the way, the interest that record labels across the country had in a teenage punk band from Washington, D.C. that had broken up. There was no interest whatsoever.”
Yeah, Ian, but think of how much booze you could have bought with that two-hundred-and-some dollars! Wait, no probably not.
So “Teddy Roosevelt Mascot” is the best thing ive ever googled ever.
Did you know DC actually still has some wetlands? My friend from over at Drifting Focus Photography and I went on a nature walk on Earth Day. See for yourself in the video of images I took at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.
