Steve, Jim, and Tony, when Steve's studio was still in his house on N. Francisco Ave. -- live room in the basement, control room in the attic.

I think this thread, and the way he behaved and treated people in later years, was one of the most important things anyone who’s meant anything to me ever did. it’s an instruction manual on how to grow out of gen x nihilism and a reflection on the damage it did

one aspect of death that has always perplexed me is that we finally see the big picture once the story is over. Steve Albini has been fundamental in so many ways that it’s completely overwhelming to think about

Shitty news. Steve Albini was a true believer, a sonic enforcer, a unique character. So much great music passed through him. What a loss. RIP

I feel ancient, as though I had
Lived many lives.
And may never now know
If I am a fool
Or have done what my
karma demands.

Happy 94th birthday Gary Snyder!

Not 100% sure about the new direction here...

First Hiss live album in a while and it's a beauty. The Little Feat vibes of Jump For Joy really coming to fruition here.

Brilliant piece. Lived round the corner from this place in the 1990s.

Absolutely superb work by Chris Forsyth and his bandmates here. chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/chris-fo…

Is this my favourite rock song of the year? I think this is probably my favourite rock song of the year...

May Day, as celebration, as assertion of solidarity, as distress call seems to summarize this moment.

The best way to celebrate Mayday, I think: The Watersons, 'Hal-An-Tow': youtu.be/Qs9PMky7Fj0

I gave myself to sin, I gave
Myself to providence and I've
Been there and back again
The state that I am in.

This got pushed back a month but I'm here again soliciting recommendations.
And to those saying it can't be done allow me to quote the great man himself:

The possible has been tried and failed. Now it's time to try the impossible.
