Today, April 16th, is Fugazi frontman/founder Ian MacKaye’s 60th birthday (b. 1962). Repeater is Fugazi’s debut LP, released almost exactly 32 years ago on April 19th, 1990. While not a traditional commercial success, it is considered one of the most influential alternative rock records ever and listed as one of the top albums of the 90’s (Spin, Pitchfork, Alternative Press). It’s angry and loud, angular and precise making it “post-hardcore” and stridently anti-“the man” (I find this commentary from Allmusic hilarious: “It’s not too difficult to see why the band was allegedly lacking a sense of humor at this stage. They could have been yelling about filing their taxes; the yelling begins to fade into a din after a while”). But it’s great melodic punk music; my top songs are the title track “Repeater,” the hard funked instrumental “Brendan #1,” the anti-capitalist “Blueprint” with the classic refrain “Never mind what’s been selling/It’s what you’re buying/And receiving undefiled,” “Styrofoam,” and the epic “Shut the Door.”

As the bass grooves along, the listener is invited into the chant (“I wait I wait I wait I wait”) and gives us all an anthem for the doctor’s office or the dentist’s office which is something that, up until the song’s recording, was sorely missing from this world.
