Steve Albini passed away one year ago today

What was his best work?

Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade

Guys that used to say “nigger” but then turn into raging outspoken leftists later in life are the worst. I can’t take listen to his music. Same with anything Jello Biafra is involved in.

Steelworker

I kill what I eat

Jello only used it in a song, and it was a commentary on how the yuppies spoke at the time (pretending to be into jazz and black struggles, but using the word "nigger" in private company).

two nuns and a pack mule + budd EP

yuppies

*College kids

Basically, he was pointing out the hypocrisy of the "woke" crowd at the time.

I miss him bros...

This

In Utero is a masterpiece in spite of albini

slints first album

final shellac album was really mediocre and i really rooted for him since dude incredible was great

The first Chevelle album

rape

i use the nigger-word, but exclusively in a sophisticated way

sure you do, champ

best sounding HoF album for me, though there's arguments for death is this communion or the earlier rawer ones

Rape?

spends 2 hours putting 100 microphones around a drum set, presses record then leaves to gamble online

Still feels weird. He didn't seem too old and no one really expected it.
Really a memento mori that none of us are invincible and any of us could die any hour of any day

You are telling me he wasn't actually racist and was just trying to shock people

chuds are pathetic, go cry about how you are being genocided because no one wants to sleep with you

Albini's death really bummed me out, had a ticket to see Shellac in June and everything, him and Geordie Walker dying within 6 months of each other, two of my biggest post punk heroes gone, fucking sucks, not many of them left

They made an entire film about Steve Albini in 2024 and Anon Babble didn't even have one thread about it. Don't you patronize music-related independent cinema?

Apparently he had a heart condition from some infection he had in his youth. So unfortunately he was likely to die younger than average because of it.

They Piled In - Odd Future

Nirvana In Utero or Pixies Surfer Rosa
