People want to assume my worldview on here a lot. Which I totally get. I do the same to others. This is the closest I've seen someone whom I don't follow or listen to often articulate a very real aspect of my actual worldview.

Re: Steve Albini fans
I enjoyed this convo once he got into music talk. I really appreciated hearing his opinions and stories about the Beatles, especially after that tweet he made about Let it Be. Wasn't expecting him to be that charitable with his opinion about the existence of that series.tragabigzanda wrote:new interview on Kreative Kontrol, thanks to Reid for sharing with me:

Referring to good content on Disney+ as "dad bait" hits home 100%. Sneaky good interview.
