I'm a fan. Big Black influenced Cobain and just maybe Buzz Osbourne and Trent Reznor.

I don't know who this Albini character is, but you're in good company (with me).

I am currently getting a kick out of a few RMers' desire to rip Albini down because he made fun of Pearl Jam once.
If you are referring to me, make no mistake it isn't about him making fun of Pearl Jam. That seems like you are dumbing down me and the criticism. It is because his takes are more of "this type of art is bad and wrong and I don't know how anyone can like it but not like art made by my fringe friends that no one has heard of". Posting on social media to get attention to the fact that he doesn't like a popular band and is somehow cool because of it seems like nothing more than an attention grab. That and he wears black tshirts.

R u srs?

i started 1000 Hurts, and got about 3-4 songs in before switching to Dude Incredible. I like the opener on DI.
we'll see about the rest.

Dad, you should check the opener for shellac's second album. The one with the spacecraft on the cover.

i actually prefer that opening song to most of Albini's vocals.
