Call Steve Albini right now if you want!

Did you guys know you can just call Steve Albini anytime you want to? He doesn't actually have a home, he lives in a room at Electrical Audio with his wife. When you call EA he actually picks up the phone! 24 hours a day!

Two things you need to know about this situation:
#1: he can't change the EA phone number because they've stopped issuing landline numbers in Chicago.
#2: Steve will answer the phone after all the other EA employees have gone home for the night and he will talk to you until you hang up. This drives his wife crazy as shit.

Pic related, have fun Sup Forums.

What the literal fuck

I'd ask if Caw Caw was really a jab at Esben and the Witch which is my theory

Also the Guitarrorists comp liner notes said he was working on a wild game cookbook

I might be able to work up quite a list

Someone call and ask him about that Martel bottle thing, I've always wanted to wonder how much of a pedo he actually is

>Steve will answer the phone after all the other EA employees have gone home for the night and he will talk to you until you hang up. This drives his wife crazy as shit.
that's pretty endearing desu

Ask him what specifically? If he meant it?

Yeah, pretty much, or if he's changed his mind since the 80s

Wow so ask him if he still gets off on that? I dunno for starters that's not technically pedophilia. If you really wanna know if he's a pedophile maybe another question would be better.

I'm way too shy to do this

During string change I asked why Shellac had never been to texas before and he just said because

I really only care about that specific thing, since that's really the only thing he's showcased that has led to suspicions. I'm all ears to other questions though.

Albini is an admitted pedophile.
>Jaded as I am, I can't help but flip seeing a girl and guy of twelve or thirteen, tops, ramming Martel bottles up each other's asses. These are not the Dutch equivalent of abused trailer-park kids, either. They look to be in excellent health and seem to be honestly enjoying this. Makes all the conventional arguments against this kind of thing seem really silly. They're kids. Kids like to play with their own and other people's privates. They're just being photographed at it. Now, people who get a voyeuristic charge out of watching them, like me, I guess, well, we've got some grip-on-reality problems.
>There's maybe 1% of all pornography that has any effect on me, and it's definitely not a turn-on very often. But when it is, and it's as weird as this, it's pretty hard to take.

And what if he asks why I want to know? I'm trying to work up a case report on his sexuality? I recently feel the same way and wanna know what the future holds for me?

Ask him about Mama Gina
or for a non-meme question ask him if he minds if I take his style from Shellac

this pic makes my stomach turn now. pedobear pervert for real

Did he get bullied in school?

Unrelated but have you guys seen Chris Hansen nowadays? Dude's gotten old, he's almost unrecognizable

I'm not sure, I was just theorizing shit to ask him. How you ask it is however you want to.

What albums did he refuse royalty?

omfg dude

Big Black
Rapeman
Shellac

He's never been in another band?

Lots, he made a point of only charging up-front recording fees and not charging based on album sales
There are tons of albums he produced but isn't credited on because he just saw himself as a technician

Ok thanks, then I guess I'd ask him what the largest selling album was that he was offered royalties but declined. Then ask if he regrets it and if at the time he had considered donating the money to charity or if he considered the band or label needed the charity.

Toured with Flour

No matter what he'd definitely answer In Utero, considering he could've made hundreds of thousands off of it at this point but instead charged like 3,000 up front and that was it

Oh wait I guess it's different that he just didn't charge royalties and wasn't ever technically offered royalties and declined.

what?

But would that have paid off since they didn't use his stuff anyways? They only recently released his stuff in the deluxe edition which I doubt would have made him rich.

This is actually terribly rude. He's trying to run a business and you Sup Forumstants just have to go and ruin it. It's disrespectful to him not only as a business owner and artist but as a person. Sure Steve has said some fucked things in the past, and hasn't always been the most polite, but he really doesn't deserve this. Leave the old man alone. And no, it's not alright if it makes you feel better

From the way you described it doesn't seem that he was ever actually offered royalties which he declined. He just had a standard fee and people essentially walked in the door which doesn't seem as interesting as actually declining an offer.

I don't even think anyone has called him yet. Plus, his number is there, maybe some Sup Forumstants want to book with him and didn't know how easy it was.

>no, it's not alright if it makes you feel better
Cute but wrong. You don't think politely calling up to ask him a few quick non-pedo questions would be ok? I think it would be.

Ask if it bothers him that when he dies they'll write "Here lies the man who recorded In Utero, the only thing he ever did that mattered." on his gravestone.

nobody here has the balls to do this
try asking Sup Forums

...

Wish him and his family a Happy Easter and then maybe ask about the Jesus Lizard song I guess. It's almost seem weird not to although I don't know what id ask.

I think someone here had a conspiracy theory about him and Buyers Market
