Black Flag - Rise Above/ American Waste
I’m amazed that video this good actually exists of their early days. This is Target Video.
And just to link it to the previous post, Fugazi performing Turnover in 1991 in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in protest of the Gulf War. I know some of this footage was on the Instrument rockumentary, but I can’t remember whether it was this clip exactly.
I’ve been re-ripping my CDs at a higher bitrate recently, although that really won’t make my copy of Repeater sound that much better. And I’m not going to pay for the remaster.

1994: Dick Cheney on why an American invasion of Iraq would be a bad idea.
It’s making the rounds, but I think it’s worth posting here in case anybody hasn’t seen it. It’s a C-Span Interview circa 1994, with Dick Cheney explaining why the US didn’t simply evict Saddam Hussein’s government after the Persian Gulf War. It’s a line of thinking that I first read over a decade ago and didn’t really understand when I was younger but made more sense as I grew up. And obviously in hindsight it was also absolutely right.
