00:00:01.589 --> 00:00:07.480
Fugazi had hundreds of recordings we had made
of our shows.

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:08.940
We did not make these recordings for ourselves.

3
00:00:08.940 --> 00:00:09.940
We don’t listen to them.

4
00:00:09.940 --> 00:00:11.700
I don’t even listen to them.

5
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:15.270
I mean, the ones that are up, I haven’t
even listened to most of them.

6
00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:16.590
It’s not—I was in the band; I don’t
need to hear these things.

7
00:00:16.590 --> 00:00:17.949
Why did we make them?

8
00:00:17.949 --> 00:00:20.070
I guess we made them for posterity.

9
00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:24.550
So, posterity wants to have access to them,
how do we make it—that was the big puzzle:

10
00:00:24.550 --> 00:00:26.039
how do we make these things available?

11
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.960
So we actually initially were talking about
a model in which we do one-to-one cassette

12
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:30.960
copies.

13
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.350
People would write in: “We want this show,”
you make them one of that—that’s insane!

14
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:37.570
And then we thought, well we could make CDs,
you know, ‘cause that made it somewhat more

15
00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:42.140
affordable, ‘cause vinyl was out of the
question.

16
00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:45.550
But then you have to make at least fifty to
a hundred, in small batches.

17
00:00:45.550 --> 00:00:50.790
Ah, it’s just, just too—But then, what’s
interesting is that this, like, the Internet

18
00:00:50.790 --> 00:00:56.410
and this technology actually made it possible
to have something that is essentially, it’s

19
00:00:56.410 --> 00:00:58.070
just standing there.

20
00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:02.129
And if you want one, you can just get an instant
copy.

21
00:01:02.129 --> 00:01:03.129
That to me—excitement?

22
00:01:03.129 --> 00:01:05.950
I wouldn’t use the word, “excited.”

23
00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:10.429
But in terms of it being, like, bringing something
to a fruition, like an idea, to make something

24
00:01:10.429 --> 00:01:13.880
possible—at a time when—when we started
it was not even conceivable that this thing

25
00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:15.200
would ever happen!

26
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.309
So for me that was like, wow, that—that
worked out pretty good�
