Big Black, Pixies, and Nirvana so far...
Re: Steve Albini
Reminder to not tune it to KEXP. God I hate the fucking Pixies.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Re: Steve Albini
I did not know that Albini engineered mclusky's "The World Loves Us and Is Our Bitch"...
Re: Steve Albini
Beautiful sentiment.
Re: Steve Albini
I could be calling in and letting them know how much the Pixies suck?

Re: Steve Albini
have been reminded of a great story about an old friend who went to U Chicago who - with his roommates - would *regularly* prank call Albini and he'd always pick up; my fave anecdote was when they pretended to be Butch Vig for a fair amount of time then screamed 'GET THE LED OUT' to which Albini would *not hang up but start screaming and threaten to sue*

Re: Steve Albini
A friend just reminded me of another prank on Albini.
"In 1995, shortly after Jerry Garcia died, a memorial was held at a Chicago park. Grieving hippies received flyers listing a number they could call to relay their condolences to Garcia's family. The home phone of Steve Albini, the hippie-loathing punk-rock producer, rang for weeks and weeks."

Life advice...
Re: Steve Albini
Rush, I was surprised to learn today that Albini was no fan of the Pixies. Perhaps this will comfort you:
The Defector wrote: Albini didn't like the Pixies—in fact had called them "an average college rock band." (The actual quote is worse: "a band who at their top dollar best are blandly entertaining college rock ... never have I seen four cows more anxious to be led around by their nose rings.")...

Re: Steve Albini
The other day I almost posted that what I’d read about Albini made him sound like a real asshole.
Well, then I read this and realized he’s much worse than that.
He was pro pedophilia. There are some sickening quotes in that piece.
