Oh man, that’s terrible! I was waiting to hear when the next Shellac tour was going to be taking place, as they’ve got an album coming out next week.

I’m a huge, huge fan of Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac, and Steve Albini’s production (Nirvana’s In Utero, Pixies’ Surfer Rosa, Jesus Lizard’s discography, PJ Harvey’s Rid of Me, Brainiac’s Hissing Prigs in Static Couture, Songs:Ohia’s Magnolia Electric Company, plus hundreds more)

He could be a bit of a dick but he was an insanely talented musician and engineer/producer. I don’t think any single person has had as much of effect on the music I listen to as Steve did.

RIP Steve Albini, your impact on indie music will not be forgotten, and neither will your belt guitar strap. You will be dearly missed, there’s very few people cut from the same cloth you were.
