Anyone remember the local band, "Ignition?" And ... anyone recall the song "Buy and Sell?" Ignition and the rest of the DC scene were a huge influence on me and my peers (well before Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, AIC, STP, and the rest blew up). The D.C. hardcore scene was our lifestyle, and this cache is dedicated to that world. Clarksburg is pretty far removed from the world of Fugazi / Minor Threat / Nation of Ulysses / Swiz / Ignition / Holy Rollers ... but here's to roots, and what grows from them.
(BTW, here are the song's lyrics, for those just tuning in):
Buy your way into this
Buy your way out of that
Sell yourself to him
Or to the latest style
Buy your way into this
Buy your way out of that
Sell yourself to me
Or to the latest style.
Buying and buying selling and selling
Buying and selling, I sold a billion buy
At the point you feel failure
It’s so easy to tell
You succumb to the desire
That turns soul into sell
-Ignition, "Buy and Sell" (Machination, 1988, Dischord Records)
