	Various Artists "20 Years of Dischord" liner notes by Rollins
		Early Dischord roots can be traced to this year as The Slinkees (Ian MacKaye, Jeff Nelson, Geordie Grindle and Mark Sullivan) played their only show at a garage party that summer.
		Dischord is now what it started out as - a small label that is dedicated to releasing the music of DC-area bands.
		That being said, Dischord has struck worldwide cultural impact with taste-fullness, style, and recognition that is unique and envied by labels all over, and with an integrity that labels of all sizes will strategize to acquire in basements and boardrooms for years to come.

	SOUTHERN \| dischord bands - 20 years of dischord
		This is partly due to Dischord's "it will get done when it's done" approach as well as the label's tendency to put it's immediate energy into current active bands as opposed to historical projects.
		By 1982 Dischord had put out its first full length, the Flex Your Head compilation album and the label's operations had been moved across the river to Arlington, Virginia into an old green house they shared with three others, which was subsequently dubbed Dischord House.
		That being said, Dischord has struck a worldwide cultural impact with the tastefulness, style and recognition that is unique and envied by labels all over and with an integrity that labels of all sizes will strategize to acquire in basements and boardrooms for years to come.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Various Artists: 20 Years of Dischord
		Probably, but with its candid approach to signing bands, and its unusually straightforward and streamlined operation, Dischord certainly shaped the way that many other small labels treat their artists, and played a central part in empowering bands to expect fairness and honesty from independent label owners.
		The first chapter in Dischord's life embraces a series of aggressive punk records, leading up to the advent of one supergroup that would represent the label's personal ethos and '80s punk ideals.
		The time and energy the label took to compile 20 Years of Dischord has paid off; it's not only an important recorded document on punk's evolution over the past 20 years, but a testimony to pop culture, all-ages shows, straightedge lifestyles and, of course, the revelation that it's alright not to be Mr.

	Only Angels Have Wings : VA - 20 Years of Dischord (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Dischord has always been a classy label which have ethics (low prices for example) and this compilation represents the state of mind of its dwellers (since I learnt, among other things, that when they started the label, they moved to a house they called ‘Dischord House”).
		In the first place, Dischord was created for Washington DC’s hardcore scene of the early 80’s and the bands slowly evolved towards what is known as emocore (which nowadays is unfortunately used anyhow); Fugazi being one of the forerunners of the style.
		Dischord has just been the home of DC bands through the years (except for 2 or 3 groups out of more than 50) and you may notice that a large circle of friends form almost all the bands.

	PopMatters Music Feature \| Look Back and Laugh
		Furthermore, the well thought-out 20 Years of Dischord is a great deal of fun, as it features 50 songs by every band who was ever on the label, a disc of unreleased tracks and a 138-page booklet detailing the history of the label and its roster.
		The fact that Dischord was one of the first independent labels, that they've achieved tremendous success without wavering from their initial mission statement, that the label address is still Ian's parents home, and that they still sell their CDs for $10 are all very big fucking deals.
		Dischord has succeeded by stubbornly remaining true to the things that have always worked for them, and just as its hard to imagine a world without Dischord, it's also hard to imagine that formula suddenly failing.

	diskant:zine: interviews: dischord records
		Dischord was formed circa 1980, when members of the Teen Idles (please note spelling) wanted to put out a record and could not find anyone to do it for them.
		It could be said that all the members of the Teen Idles are the founders, but Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson are the ones who handled and propelled it in it's early days and through the rest of the years.
		Dischord has been offered to get big corporate distribution by major labels, but there are a lot of people who rely on Dischord to be it's own equitable and personable entity.

	breakmyface.com ~ Dischord Records
		A friend's tape of the Four Old 7" On A 12" compilation LP (renamed Dischord 1981: The Year in 7"s when issued on CD) was one of my earliest introductions to punk rock.
		Dischord continues with releases to this very day, though the music styles have gone off on every imaginable tangent.
		Whether intentional or not, Dischord and its roster set the example for dozens of bands and hundreds of individual punk rockers to follow, whether it be the music style, a way of doing business, or a way of living life.

	Salon.com People \| Ian MacKaye
		Dischord's enduring success is due in large part to the popularity of Minor Threat and Fugazi.
		Yet in Dischord's endurance, and in Fugazi's demonstrated preference for social action over braggadocio's invective, MacKaye is proving he values affirmation over protestation.
		Dischord really does exist as a result of hard work and the goodwill of the people.

	Dischord Records: 20 Years of Dischord
		For fans like myself, the new 20th anniversary compilation, entitled 20 years of Dischord, is what the Rapture (the event not the band) would be to Ned Flanders of The Simpsons.
		Spanning 20 years (the comp was due out in 2000, but was held up in post-production), I found myself surrounded by old friends, while bumping into new acquaintances, as I listened to the 73 songs in the 3 CD set.
		No matter what mood you might be in, Dischord has the dish for your musical appetite, just count on getting a heavy dose of morality and social politics with your meal.

	Dischord Records /about
		The Dischord label is no longer run out of the "Dischord House" which folks are used to seeing on album covers and pictures, and truth be told -- we try to discourage impromptu visits.
		Ian still maintains his office in the Dischord House but it is mostly used as a residence and since he is often out of town we ask people not to disturb the folks who live there.
		Dischord is one of several independent labels who work collectively make up the DC underground.

	Adrants » Nike Steals Album Art For Skateboarding Poster
		Dischord has been railing against corporate control for years -- decades, even -- so this Nike ad is a particularly crass slap in the face.
		Dischord could then cut whatever deal they wanted (from choosing to give the rights for free, to taking a pass and denying usage to Nike.) I consider what Nike did by taking this to be blatant theft of intellectual property.
		The kids will still buy their All-Stars, Dischord will still be fighting for independent bands and labels and the DIY ethic, and Nike executives will be laughing all the way to the bank over this inexcusable exploitation of an honest, hard-working record label.

	French Toast: In a Cave: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Since Dischord moved away from caffeinated teenage hardcore in the mid-80s, the label has become a one-stop shop for crashing angular guitars, churning post-funk rhythm sections, inscrutable and sometimes political lyrics, and furiously clenched vocals.
		Dischord's D.C.-only policy is only part of the story; the District has produced a ton of independent music (the Dismemberment Plan, Dead Meadow, go-go), which the label has opted not to fuck with.
		If you've been in one Dischord band, chances are pretty good you've been in two or three or seven.

	It's A Wonderful Life: 22 Years Of Dischord
		In many ways, Dischord is cast in MacKaye’s image, like Berry Gordy’s Motown or Russell Simmons’ Def Jam (Jeff Nelson remains crucial to the running of Dischord, but is somewhat more publicity-shy); like those pioneers, MacKaye’s passion and beliefs are at the core of the label’s every action.
		Energy, creativity and activism were the watchwords, and Dischord lay at its heart.
		Music is the glue that holds together the community he feels himself a part of, a community Dischord and the labels which have followed in its wake helped create and nurture.

	20 YEARS OF DISCHORD
		The first reason, Dischord wanted to mark the point by releasing a special CD-set containing a song by every band ever released on Dischord records plus a special CD with unreleased stuff and a booklet that goes way beyond what is usually called “extensive liner-notes”.
		It is also this kind of integrity and principles that made Dischord and Fugazi a symbol in everybody’s mind — and of course, some were opposed: jock punks, rockstars-to-be, corporate rockers and lots of holier-than-thou-preachers tried to rub their backs on Dischord.
		For instance there is no mentioning of the various re-formations of Dag Nasty (then again, they don’t touch Dischord) and the whole “straight edge”-thing is only mentioned insofar as the name was coined by Minor Threat and there is also the story of the cross-marked hands found their way to the east-cost.

		MacKaye, Jeff Nelson and everyone else at dischord records a big round of applause and a big bucket of props for keeping it going for 202 years, for releasing the 3 CD set "20 years of Dischord" and for being such swell folks.
		i never had any idea of how long dischord would be around, but figured that the music scene would dictate whether or not there was any reason for us to continue (meaning no bands=no label).
		There was a time in the 90s when there were several Dischord bands with women: the Warmers, Jawbox, Autoclave, Slant 6, even Desidrata, but it seems like there haven't been any bands women recording on the label for a while.

	Review: Dischord
		Dischord is an atmospheric drama that isn't nearly as original as it thinks it is, but still manages to cast a spell over its audience, thanks to the intriguing characters that propel the by-the-numbers plot.
		Dischord juggles several balls at once, and keeps them in the air most of the time.
		Lucian and Gypsy (also a musician, described in the film as "Suzanne Vega with a violin") are having serious marriage difficulties, fueled by media suspicions that Lucian's talented wife wrote most of his last album.

		Because 2000 marked Dischord's 20th anniversary of not only survival in a business known for treachery, but also survival on its own terms.
		On the contrary, McKaye and Nelson believed that punk music could be associated with much more than absurd drunkenness, wrecking property, self-deprecations, sadistic behavior and social chaos in general--as the genre was disappointingly becoming in their eyes.

	Mule Design Studio - Kottke and Dischord (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Dischord albums and CDs are priced as low as he can get them, his bands typically play only in venues that allows all-ages shows at lower-than-average rates because he believes EVERYONE should have access to music regardless of age or income.
		Now, I have no particular ax to grind against Nike, their business practices are well known and I believe that people should be free to choose the footwear they want to choose.
		But to say that Dischord sounds like "a big company afraid of losing their intellectual property" is a classic subversion of the argument, Dischord is a small company struggling to survive and to do so it needs to hold on to what a small company holds most dear; its identity.

	Theft or homage? (kottke.org)
		Nike is catching some shit for appropriating some imagery for one of their skateboarding events from a 1984 album cover by Dischord Records' Minor Threat.
		Nike represents just about the antithesis of what Dischord stands for and it makes me sick to my stomach to think they are using this explicit imagery to fool kids into thinking that the general ethos of this label, and Minor Threat in particular, can somehow be linked to Nike's mission.
		Seems like a punk label like Dischord should be aware of that but in the above quote they sound more like a big company afraid of losing their intellectual property.

	RARB Review of Dischord - Changes
		Dischord is a relatively new (founded in 1998) group at the University of Pennsylvania.
		Dischord then gives us two lovely female soloists: Jill and Jordana (the group's MD).
		Some other comments and a question: the percussion is a solid addition to each track, from the earlier live-sounding stuff to the later sequenced-sounding tracks.
