The archiving industry, much like the funeral industry and the wedding industry, these industries can be very exploitative.
Ian MacKayeI work at a record label where I have archives. These things [memorabilia] occurred and are important to somebody, and they're important to me. I find the record industry largely repellent. This music, the Teen Idles, all of that stuff, is important to me. I don't have lawyers, an agent or a manager. However I find the music industry largely repellent. I just make records because that's what I love to do. So I think that era, those pieces of media, I keep in my collection.
Ian MacKayeNow anyone can move anywhere. I've made deep connections with people around the world since I tour everywhere that I will simply never see again.
