Shellac are coming back to Australia this December.

Fingers crossed for another Adelaide show.

Albini is hardcore.

Fuckin'-A, Steve Albini.

Everybody give your local elementary/middle school a call--they're probably doing an "adopt a kid" thing where they'll give you a list of things that a kid likes (ex. "Frozen," Legos, Batman), and you can buy them and they'll send it off. Oh, and get gloves, socks, and winter hats, too!

bumping this for trag so he can give a more detailed response in an appropriate thread.

i'd forgotten Albini worked on Kicking a Couple Around.

anyway, looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Albini's method.

Oh god

i'm trying here...trying to keep the other thread for the canceled.

I've either read that before, or he talked about it in an interview...yeah, maybe with marc maron on the wtf podcast.

Sounds like they broke the law reading other peoples mail.

serve the servants

white men have gotten away with far more heinous crimes, like drinking milk from the jug in the grocery store.

Took me a minute to figure out why I posted this in this thread, thought I had a stroke.

Haha the name dropping

i am one

I've been up and down on the guy for years. I liked Shellac in high school, particularly 1000 Hurts, and I have enjoyed albums he's produced. But I've also found myself shaking my head at some of his takes, and then other times thinking "this guy's alright." In many ways, he's a lot like Trag

I said it before, Trag is our Albini. He is actually way better than Albini, mostly because its not that hard anyway.

there is a species of albini fan -- reactionary, conversant in philosophy, awed by transgression, thoroughly solipsistic -- that i fucking hate. maybe more than any other kind of art fan.
