Everyone who loves music and would like to understand just how screwed over recording artists can be should read this: https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-problem-with-music

And this was written years before Spotify, so you can imagine how things are for most artists today. RIP, Mr Albini.

I have an irrational hatred of Nirvana so... That's all I have to say on this news

How about saying nothing at all.

RIP Steve.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Fuuuuuck, man...

Huge Big Black fanboy here, and love the way he engineered and mixed albums... Specially this one:

Drums sound like nukes, clear vocals, and crushing guitars and bass (The bass sounds straight up evil in a few of the songs)
I think it's one of the best he engineered.

Anyway, rest in peace, Steve Albini. Incredibly talented and bold artist.
