fucking lame

so my friend at the WCP obviously feels bad about the lack of RnR coverage, and has asked me to participate in a piece they're doing on DC music. they're compiling a list of the best local recordings as picked by 40 "influential washingtonians." man, they must be hard up for participants if they're asking me! heh. but whatever, get my name in the paper, dammit! even though it's cool to be included in this thing, i've had a ridiculously hard time selecting a song! i wanted to think of something really great, maybe slightly obscure, that wouldn't be the pick of a dozen other people! but lameass me narrowed it down to fugazi's "waiting room." is that totally lame?? fuck, i don't know! my problem is that i have the most pathetic memory, and i can barely remember song titles as it is! i kinda wanted to pick a shudder to think song, but all i could think of was this one song i really liked that they played live all the time, but have no idea what it's called. i think it's on the first dischord release, but i could be totally wrong. then i considered a bad brains song, but determined that it was recorded after they had moved to NYC, so didn't really count as a local recording. blah blah blah.

whatever. i can handle being part of the herd of fugazi-lovers, though truth be told, i haven't really listened to fugazi much in the past 10 years. the reason i chose that song is because i remember loving it so much when they played it live. god, i can't remember how many times i saw them back in the late 80s! back then, they were just IT -- politics aside, 'cause i didn't give a fuck about that stuff back then, they were loud and powerful and exciting. good things in my book. and i still love hearing it today, so i guess it really was the best choice. best choice for me, that is. so why do i still feel lame? i'm such a poseur! heh.
