As a member of bands such as The Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Embrace, Fugazi, and The Evens\\u2014as well as co-founder of Dischord Records\\u2014Ian MacKaye has been involved in the creation and dissemination of an extraordinary amount of classic recordings. Ian met with Joe at The Dischord House in Virginia for a wide-ranging conversation that lasted nearly three hours. In this week\\u2019s installment, Ian discusses: his childhood in the Glover Park neighborhood of Washington DC; his grandmother\\u2019s advice column; his love of Ted Nugent and The Beatles; how skateboarding informed his view of the world; discovering punk rock; his lifelong entrepreneurial spirit; co-founding Dischord Records; and how he often doesn\\u2019t listen to music for the lyrics.

Four years ago, we began The Trap Set with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty. As we expand the show from drummers-only to all musicians, it only makes sense to begin with Brendan\\u2019s bandmate, Ian. Tune in next week for Part Two!
