I tried to listen to Big Black last night but I just wasn't feeling it in the moment. I will revisit soon. Seems like good music for earbuds on a long run.

Sorry trag, my wife’s work holiday party is the same night, otherwise I’d consider checking out Mulaney, Albini, etc.

washing machine wrote:I'm with trag and jorge. Albini is one of the most insightful voices with a perspective on the recording industry and a platform these days. He's direct and calculated when he speaks, which doesn't always feel "kind", but that's not the same as being an asshole.
I provoke the same exact reactions. I'm willing to bet that he's autistic - it's a trademark. People who meet me in person expect me to throw shit on their shoes but find good company instead. Though I'm not nearly as gay-looking as Albini.Strat wrote:I never once said he aint knowledgeable or insightful, i just think he's smug as fuck.
He also discovered The Frogs and brought them into the music industry more or less. And I owe him the world (and many treasured friendships and experiences) for that. Otherwise, I never would have heard of them in a million years - nor would anyone else.

Re: Steve Albini fans
Is there a good album to start getting into Shellac? I tried years ago and they didn’t hook me, but I’d like to give them another shot.

Re: Steve Albini fans
i listened to 1000hurtz cause a friend recommended it about a year ago. i kinda liked it.
but i watched that live video from 2000 in the other thread, and then put on action park in the car the next morning. now i get it.
also their 2007 album is so dynamic for that time period.
