It’s worth wondering whether or not the whole D.C. scene would have wound up being as well documented and revered if Ian MacKaye hadn’t gone and started Dischord Records, functioning as the endeavor’s center during its formative years in the nation’s capitol.

Lesser bands certainly got a shot at having a record recorded and properly distributed in the underground than if located in other cities. And since Dischord’s gone on to work with more fey indie styled groups in latter years, its early catalog still receives a fair amount of attention. Of course, if Minor Threat didn’t rule and MacKaye hadn’t dedicated his life to music, this conversation wouldn’t be worth having. Anyway…
