I tried to listen to Big Black last night but I just wasn't feeling it in the moment. I will revisit soon. Seems like good music for earbuds on a long run.

Albini’s been doing this for years, always promotes it on Kreative Kontrol, but I don’t actually know what he does in his capacity as a performer. His wife is on the steering committee or something like that.
I'm with trag and jorge. Albini is one of the most insightful voices with a perspective on the recording industry and a platform these days. He's direct and calculated when he speaks, which doesn't always feel "kind", but that's not the same as being an asshole.

I provoke the same exact reactions. I'm willing to bet that he's autistic - it's a trademark. People who meet me in person expect me to throw shit on their shoes but find good company instead. Though I'm not nearly as gay-looking as Albini.
He also discovered The Frogs and brought them into the music industry more or less. And I owe him the world (and many treasured friendships and experiences) for that. Otherwise, I never would have heard of them in a million years - nor would anyone else.
I remember I was in Miami when it happened. I was posting from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the beach. And I was having an argument with Adamdude.
