He's a miserable, arrogant bastard, but he's OUR miserable, arrogant bastard
Also, it's the cover of Lie Dream of a Casino Soul by The Fall

Fuck Steve Albini.
He's one of the biggest pricks, as well as a con artist in the whole Chicago music scene.

wtf

I don't know much about his personality, but I like his music/work he's done. If his personality is anything like his music I'll keep my distance

I like the work that he's done. Rapeman is excellent. And A Prayer to God by Shellac is top notch.

On the spectrum of sell out he is on the other end. He wouldn't take his points for Nevermind because he DIDN'T BELIEVE HE DESERVED THEM AS A 'PRODUCER' and consequently left 100s of 1000s$ behind.

The nineties were a different time, its unimaginable now. He is prickly because he has principles no one else has.

>I'm a steel worker, I kill what I eat!

he would've blown it all on poker if he had that much money

>that screed he wrote about mayonnaise

10% /ourguy/

he ruined tweez with his shitty production. their bass player literally left the band he thought it was so awful

>My band shared an airport shuttle with [Odd Future] in Barcelona. They piled onto the shuttle late, after finally getting corralled by their minder, who was nursing a head wound with an ice bag wrapped in a towel. They piled in, niggering everything in sight, motherfucking the driver, boasting into the air unbidden about getting their dicks sucked and calling everyone in the area a faggot. Then one of them lit a joint (or a pipe, I didn’t look) and told the driver to shut the fuck up nigger and smoked it anyway. A female passenger tried to engage one of them in conversation, but he just stared at her with a dead-to-me stare while his seatmate flipped double birds in her face.
The whole trip they complained about not being at a McDonalds and repeatedly shouted for the motherfucker to pull over so they could get some fucking McDonalds nigger. Interspersed with the McDonalds requests were shouted boasts about how often they masturbated and fucked bitches nigger and got paid like a motherfucker fifty grand like a motherfucker. They continued complaining that the trip was taking too long and insisted they be fed immediately all the way to the airport, where their minder presumably fed them.

>I am quite happy none of them engaged me directly, because at least one of us would have regretted it.

classic

>Then one of them lit a joint (or a pipe, I didn’t look)
nice subtle diss

How much shit did Steve get for saying nigger when this story hit? Specifically for >niggering everything in sight

A lot, and in no small part because people didn't actually understand what he meant by that

>niggering everything in sight

I mean at first it sounds like he was saying they were acting like niggers, but after reading everything do I understand that he meant they were throwing that word into every sentence of theirs. I can see how people would lose their shit initially

>con artist
He charges pretty damn little for being such a highly regarded producer

>what is petty theft

>it's the cover of Lie Dream of a Casino Soul by The Fall

right, albini is a great fan of one of the best groups the mighty fall

le racist & sexist

jk he's a musical genius but a dick

...

he ruined noise rock by over producing it, real noise rock is shit like goslings, lrd and fushitsusha.
why cant fucking producers realise that the MOST important instrument is the microphone because it affects ALL timbres

>he ruined noise rock by over producing it, real noise rock is shit like goslings

>noise
>rock
>not noise rock

he's miserable but not arrogant at all

albini invented noise rock. all your new-school shit is an expansion of that original idea

his mail to powell was impressive. how can man be this salty?

I used to have respek for the guy. But apparently he couldn't even mix In Utero properly and then whined about it when they took it to other engineers. On top of that his demeanor seems very bitter.

dumbass lou reed invented it

yeah i guess. but it didn't really become an established sound until it fused with hardcore in the 80s

Incredible engineer.

He produced In Utero, not Nevermind

is this the definitive albini song?
