You have any (good) PiL on vinyl?

No, I only have the CDS. I may get that greatest hits 2LP.

Another great early Guy jam. I already heard this one a thousand times on the WTBB tape, and the studio version did not disappoint.

Another early Fuggo classic that rocks into a dubby breakdown. If my Discogs search can be trusted, this one didn’t see the light of day until the 30 Years of Dischord set. Apple Music claims the word is “dead.” I always heard it as “change.” Maybe it says both at different parts?

Sorry. Lurking but will poke into this. Dead? Nope. The word is Change. I still have my original Fugazi lyric sheet handed out at a very early show. I always loved this song so much and for so long I actually forgot it wasn’t released until the demo was finally released.
You got a problem?

An early classic that actually addresses an issue clearly (I have no idea WTF they’re talking about most of the time on later records). A solid message (basically, keep your hands to yourself, asshole) backed by that classic early Fugazi sound. I bet they still couldn’t get into the girls only riot grrrrrl shows, though.

I know you're simplifying things, but it's actually saying something much more interesting. Ever been caught staring at a women's breasts? I have. And that look of "Jesus fucking Christ, I'm just walking down the street..." And then I think about how I am probably the 10th guy in just as many minutes who's done this - the song makes that frustration palpable. The fact that it was written by a man doesn't change anything. Okay, maybe to a small handful of people it does. But pretending that this is how most people think, and then pretending to be outraged that this is how most people think, is a bullshit game that right-wingers play just to stir shit up. Take an opinion stated by one or two and pretend it's emblematic of everyone not like them. Fuck that nonsense. Pay it no mind.

...the guitar definitely edges more into the noise zone. BITD, I perceived it as Sonic Youth’s influence, but at that point I pretty much thought any guitar noise sounded like Sonic Youth.

It's a fair comparison - SY was a definite influence on Fugazi, although it became more obvious over time.
I remember when they played this one live, the sound would bounce around with long, slow echo/reverb on Guy's voice. I dunno, I thought it was "cool".

I loved this song live. It was prob the 3rd or 4th time I saw them before it was in the set, or before Ian decided to launch into it...... I think it was at The Marquee.......

I told you back in the day that you would like "Fuggo". SEE??

Apparently, this was the result of a failed album session (thanks, Sal). Guy is fully entrenched in this one, though it’s not clear whether he’s playing guitar yet. Anyone know?
Margin Walker
Pretty much the “modern” Fugazi sound on this one - a solid rhythm foundation with rockin’ guitar(s) on top that veer towards “noise” as often as not. What can I say? A classic, IMO, with a nice balance or noise and melody.

Apparently the studio was so small that only person record their parts at a time. The rest of the band had to literally take a walk while they put the tracks together, all overdubs.

A modern Fugazi song for all intents and purposes. No idea what this song is about. Is Guy admitting to being an android? Your guess is as good as mine.

Never a favorite. A good chorus in search of a verse that never arrives.

Clearly a breakup song. I remember identifying with it strongly during a breakup circa fall of ‘89. The bass line is really great - maybe my favorite part of the song at this point. Feels very teenage to me as an old guy in 2021.
