When it comes to Albini, I just stay committed to hasty judgement and my own opinion of “facts.” I’ve read a bunch of his comments about people or bands “selling out.” Which always reminds me he produced a damn Bush album. What a jerk.
He didn’t produce it. He recorded it. He’s an engineer.
Plus he gets a flat fee for doing the record. No royalties.
Right, he demands the liner notes read “recorded by” instead of produced. What was his flat fee for the Bush record?
Look, I just like making fun of him. For the sole reason that it makes ME laugh. I know some dudes that recorded with him 5-6 years ago and said he was a cool dude.
Yeah, I like dudes that TRULY look like they don’t give a f**k. Too many so-called “punks” seem to make an effort to go out of their way to PROVE that they are punk and don’t care what anyone thinks . . . . “okay, guys, let’s make sure to show everyone how we are individual and free and don’t care what anyone thinks. You, Skully McBones, are you getting your liberty spikes today? And Anarchy Von Rebel, you’re picking up your bondage pants and 20-hole Doc Martins at Hot Topic, right? Okay, and I’m gonna make a diaper out of this here American flag! We’re gonna prove to everyone how we don’t care what anyone thinks! How many ‘likes’ did we get on that last photoshoot where we’re all smoking in front of the non-smoking sign, by the way?”
