Best Interview Ever: Ian Svenonius Interviews Steve Albini on Soft Focus

Steve Albini is responsible for fronting the most caustic and, depending on whether or not you have a sense of humor, either hilarious or upsetting bands of the mid- to late-80s (Big Black), that weird sort of late-80s to 90s spur period (Rapeman), and the 90s proper (Shellac), as well as producing more albums by more bands than we’re sure even he can keep track Continue reading Best Interview Ever: Ian Svenonius Interviews Steve Albini on Soft Focus…

All things lead to Steve Albini: or, the Mark E. Smith Squirrel Massacre

Mark E. Smith (The Fall) is 51 years old and still punk as fuck.

Where The Hell Do You Think You're Going, Steve Albini?

I’m just not sure if I say it enough. Actually, I’ll take that back–I’m totally sure that I DO NOT say it enough–Steve Albini, I love you, I love Rapeman, I love Big Black, and I love Shellac. Seriously this man writes like the most bitter, petty, cathartic, and universally comprehensible lyrics I can think of. He thinks the same psychotic, homicidal thoughts that you do when you find Continue reading Where The Hell Do You Think You’re Going, Steve Albini?…
