[edit] Miscellanea

  • Ian MacKaye got credit for the "xtra guitar" on "Youth Against Fascism"
  • As noted above, "Nic Fit" is a song originally by the DC band Untouchables. In that band is Ian's brother Alec MacKaye
  • Under the tray of the first pressing of the "Dirty" CD (and later in the booklet of the deluxe edition CD/LP) is a controversial photograph of performance artist Bob Flanagan. It was removed from all other pressings.
  • The track "Sugar Kane" includes a possible reference to fellow alternative rock band Half Japanese. The lyric "kiss me like a frog" may refer to the Half Japanese song of the same name.
