From Slint to Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Pixies etc etc it’s hard to overstate his influence.

Always the provocateur

[BmillsSkier]

Nirvana, Pixies, Breeders, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion... Big parts of my 90s/00s sountrack right there.

By all accounts, he was one of the good guys in a cut throat industry. Rip

[Woodsy]

wow, we should start a forum here for Music, movie & Books. Would be great for things like this

[BmillsSkier]

You ever notice that's the only subforum listed in ALL CAPS.

Probably turns people off from going over there.

All caps here boss. I'm not scared. You have to click in each one to find out which one stays all caps

I’m a regular website user, cause much like a Marlboro Red, this place is better when it’s full flavor, hoss.

[MultiVerse]

I choose to believe music legends dying in their 50s and 60s is the result of ALL CAPS, Marlboro Reds, the Rock & Roll lifestyle, and not the merciless unwinding of actuarial curves on a large sample.

You’re new here, so I’ll walk you through it. The PR rules are that when an artist of unique or broad cultural impact dies or goes to prison or whatever, it bleeds into the forum that actually gets read. Albini helped create the soundtrack for many genXers here.

This is as good a time as any to get certain snowflakes prepared for the fact that when Bob Dylan or Keef die, there will be a PR thread.

Assuming the forum software is somewhat functional.

Keith will probably outlive TRG forumz. Guess I never thought about that.

Damnit, you took the words out of my mouth.

Long live Keef!

Keith will outlive the cockroach

It's roaches, tardigrades, and Keef.

Back in the early 90's, I was at some wicker park hipster bar (Rainbo Room?). I see Albini in a very INTENSE conversation with a very fucked up and very upset woman whom I believe was his future wife. As I'm leaving, my drunk punk loving girlfriend goes right up and inserts herself between them and starts gushing about his music. If looks could kill, there wouldn't be enough left of me to fill a shot glass.

61 is pretty young but old rockers are kicking off cuz they are as a focus group the right age TO kickoff

I also wondered why this was not in the music forum, also why we still have a bullfighting forum which was only funny the first time you read it

That was cool.
Never heard of the guy. But he obviously produced some good music.

[evasive_MT]

I saw Shellac in Missoula in 2011. That was a good show, and I probably would have watched for dates for the new album. RIP.

But when I saw he died, I immediately wondered if it was a heart attack. He always a struck me as a high blood pressure personality.

[mud]

Way to young and one of the best music innovators of from 80's on.

Apparently Steve Albini liked cats…
