Making Vinyl, the biannual meeting for the vinyl manufacturing industry, came to Alexandria, Virginia, May 27 to May 29 When Ian MacKaye’s high school band broke up, they decided to put out a record only then to chronicle the sound they had urgently turned out for their fervent community. They had saved any cash received from the 50 or so gigs they played, stashed it in a cigar box, and were ready to spend it on making a record.
