| | MacKaye plucks one of a dozen different bootlegs he has in his Hendrix stash and plays a version of the song from another show; it sounds completely different. | | | MacKaye has a huge trove of CDs and vinyl records, much of which is boxed by genre and stored in a tiny home office, cluttered with photos, files and letters. | | | MacKaye plays "Drink Deep," which is on an album called "End to End." The song forsakes the drill-sergeant beat common to Dischord bands at the time for something subtler and more complicated. |

| | Although MacKaye was an avid fan of hard rock music (Led Zeppelin, Ted Nugent, etc.), it wasn't until he discovered punk rock that he finally decided that he wanted to give music a try himself. | | | With MacKaye switching to vocals, Minor Threat is often credited with spearheading the hardcore movement of the '80s -- but like their previous band, Minor Threat was only together for a short period of time. | | | With MacKaye also playing guitar (in addition to alternating vocals with Guy Picciotto), Fugazi would immediately become a true band of the people, as it would make sure to keep the price of both CDs and concert tickets at affordable rates. |

| | MacKaye has been criticized for being the quintessential punk rock "no" man. Most critics of this mind-set hang their hats on the blunt, anti-substance-abuse lyrics he penned as a teenage frontman for Minor Threat. | | | MacKaye soon cut the apron strings and pursued full-time work as co-owner of Dischord Records and as a member of many legendary D.C. bands, including Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Embrace and Fugazi. | | | No one imagined that the then 18-year-old MacKaye and his Teen Idles band mates were launching a company, let alone one that would command the respect of critics and punks alike two decades later. |

| | The Evens: The Evens: Pitchfork Review |
| | But thanks to the intimacy of the Evens' approach (as well as to their impressively well-developed melodic sensibilities), the album displays a beguiling tenderness not often present in MacKaye's previous efforts, a laid-back, disarming sweetness that causes the Evens' eponymous debut to feel like his most personal work to date. | | | There are occasions when the album too closely resembles the skeletal, unfinished demos that bulked up the Instrument soundtrack, and others where one can't help but imagine how Fugazi might've handled these songs. | | | Though melodic Fugazi tracks like The Argument's "Cashout" or "I'm So Tired" from the Instrument soundtrack have hinted at the broader possibilities of his vocal range, his work here represents the first time he's wholly abandoned his trademark rottweiler bark for an album's entirety. |

| | Seattlest: Ian MacKaye! |
| | While he most likely won't be playing any Fugazi or Minor Threat songs, you can be assured that he only comes up with good music. | | | He is so consistent that there should be an Ian MacKaye seal of approval on music. | | | If value isn't your thing, you might want to head over to Vera and see Fugazi's Ian MacKaye's new band, the Evens. |
