How, how can one man be so fucking based
[Albini - GQ Interview]
Steve albini fucked my gf
I love Albini, but god damn he needs to make more music.
>I believe that the so-called shoegaze movement of bands is essentially just a gang of pretentious art school kids trying to create noise, but they're putting emphasis on some sort of cool, mysterious, sexy factor by obscuring the vocals and creating some hazy, druggy "atmosphere". Every one of these bands seem to have this woman in the front, acting provocatively on stage, wearing tons of makeup, and making some type of peculiar moaning tribal sex noise instead of singing legible lyrics. Underneath all the noise and obscured vocals, it's just your basic pop-rock, just pure bubblegum pop that's been peddled on your local radio station by the record company for the past 50 years. Same song structure, same basic premise at the core of it. But since there's a loud reverb-laden guitar it's so deep, so original, so creative.
>When people regard a group like Slowdive or Lush or Jesus and Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine as the pinnacle of noise, or call these groups innovative and challenging in any way, I throw up in my mouth a little. People regard this mindless pop as noise, instead of listening to an actual noise group like The Jesus Lizard or Big Black. This shit is the reason that the development of British music has stagnated over the past 15 years, and will continue to do so.
God bless this dude.
Ironically this comes from the mouth of someone who looks like a pedophile

>musical aesthetics are cool and valuable but
>visual aesthetics are not valuable and i refuse to recognize their coolness
Truly the most based man on the plant you cannot debate this
He's completely right about this
great musician but why does he have to come off as the biggest contrarian asshole every time he speaks
You missed the point
Steve Albini drives a PT Cruiser. True story
>"I think fast food is repulsive. The whole idea that someone else can make food that is supposed to be quick to make and make people feel good is ridiculous."
>"It sickens me to think that there is an industry that plays to the hungriness of the general public. I would like the fast food to collapse. I think it plays to the hungriest, most insecure parts of human nature."
>"I hope McDonald's as a franchise fails. I hope that all of these people who make a living by making Big Macs are eventually made destitute or forced to eat something of substance. At least roast beef or cheese on bread will be enjoyed much more."
PT Cruisers are based. True story.
