R.I.P. Steve Albini 13:05 - May 9 with 1497 viewslarsricchi

Stunning news yesterday. Just 61.

At the helm for plenty of important alt records (Nirvana - In Utero; Pixies - Surfer Rosa; PJ Harvey - Rid of Me) and countless others. Really enjoyed recent work with Ben Frost.

So i was proper rattled by his death. Adored the records he helped make, and was looking forward to seeing Shellac for the 14th time at Primavera next month. Posted a RIP post on insta

Sadly, after posting that I discovered both an article he wrote in the 80s saying he looked at and enjoyed child pornography (I won't link the piece here, but it is properly beyond the pale), and his long friendship with Peter Sotos and a life long affection I've had for him died in about 10 minutes. No music justifies some of the stuff he was adjacent to, or claimed to have participated in
