i can understand why. not just for his abilities, but how much time he puts into communicating with people (mostly on his own forums, but nevertheless, a lot of bands/artists don't even appear to know they have forums etc at all.) as an example, he was still replying to that ama 9 hours ago.

The reply to the piracy question was great.

"There won't ever be a mass-market record industry again, and that's fine with me because that industry didn't operate for the benefit of the musicians or the audience, the only classes of people I care about."

He is one dangerous mofo.

I don't know if you read it all through, but there is some seriously naughty stuff in there.

Steve Albini is my no.1 choice to record my acoustic stuff. Seeing him squirm as he segregates his proffesional and creative personas would be a bonus for me. Though I wouldn't do it intentionally. I would take a hit in the chops from Steve if it ment a better track.

f**k it. I just want to hang out with such a cool guy. f**king genius. And f**k all to do with shitty Nirvana.

Thanks for the link.
I would have never known otherwise...

Steve Albini is right for all the wrong reasons.
Can't give him up.

steve albini ftw!

i'll have to check this out. his 'tape op' interview was great.

PurpleCatfishBettie · Post by **PurpleCatfishBettie** » Wed May 16, 2012 1:53 am

wow, he even touches on the 'quisp and quake wars', and how quake won; even though everyone liked quisp better.

that's the way i remember it, too.

(edit: anyway, this here q&a goes way beyond the tape op interview... )

there's a steve albini ama (ask me anything) on reddit, if anyone is interested.
