Steve Albini is at it again...

[azaghal1981]

I think I'll work to some Shellac today.

[bearman🐻]

In honor of the elitist essence of Albini, I'd say the best Shellac records are the Uranus and the Rude Gesture 7"s. Followed by Action Park.

[James Ford]

You doing fries or burger grill today?

I think I'll work to some Shellac today.

[azaghal1981]

I did your wife to "Prayer to God" on my lunch break.


Sidenote: "Prayer to God" is probably the closest Shellac ever came to a pop song.

I don't get the SY - GD comparison. SY is to indie rock as GD is to ??

I can settle this right now because I just saw BOTH of them back to back less than two hours ago.  (Grateful Dead.  Phish.  Same thing.)

Ummmmmm..... Sonic Youth.  For the sole reason that I'd much rather bend Kim Gordon over and go woof woof than Bob Weir/Fishsticks.  I'll just pretend she's Liz Phair.

Brian

P.S.  Speaking of which, this Karen Owen situation is a Godsend for La Liz, isn't it?  It's like Journey after the last episode of "The Sopranos."   Lis Phair is SOOOO relevant again due to the Dukie "F*ck List."

Ah, come on Brian. You can do much better than that!

Steve Albini Explains Why He Hates Steely Dan

"Music made for the sole purpose of letting the wedding band stretch out a little." - lol

[kosmo vinyl]

 

It really is white male fragile ego season with the usual "why isn't this second tier 70s Hard Rock band, still not nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, when some non-rock group gets the nod" and not everyone worships at the alter of Steely Dan..

[bearman🐻]

Steve just makes me laugh.

[kosmo vinyl]

speaking of "eccentric" producers... it was amusing seeing Rick Rubin trending recently because he told Anderson Cooper

 "I have no technical ability and I know nothing about music," he said. "I know what I like and what I don't like and I'm decisive about what I like and don't like."

which of course was easily refuted if one watches the Rubin & Paul McCartney interview

[ye-ole-hatch ıll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

"I have no technical ability and I know nothing about music,"

My understanding is, he can't play the piano, guitar or drums at any level of expertise, so I do think the first part is right
now he's a kick-ass turntablist, so that's some technical ability that he's shrugging off

little hyperbole in the second part, but he's not classicly trained and don't think he can even read sheet music

Although, this could all be made up in my mind as I'm a little obsessed with Mr Rubin as of late

[ye-ole-hatch ıll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

welp, this has made quite the ripple

For the record, I don't put much stock in anything St. Vincent says. Apparently she needs a guitar tech to hit which pedals she needs to use for particular songs. I think she didn't do herself many favors when she basically ruined Sleater Kinney. So just because she's into Steely Dan, that doesn't say much.
