Sure- Every Breath You Take is a song about surveillance👁️. Ppl found it incredibly romantic 💘, they took it as an 80’s Stand By Me- a very popular Wedding Band selection. Sting found that hilarious. I find the bridge reveals insecurity & ego fragility that lives independently.

You’re also producing feelings when you’re producing a band, a solo artist, an ensemble. One of the trickiest parts of producing? The music itself has feelings independent of the musicians creating it.

Albini did not care about hierarchy. The best producers don’t. Not the most successful, but The Best. A truly terrible loss.

Producing bands? The ability to maintain a “poker face” is undoubtedly a significant asset

61 is too young.

Steve Albini was alive on Monday. Let that sink in.
We weren’t friends.
We never met.
I respected his work ethic.
No compromises
No regrets

Beside Myself w Joy Inside My Tears (Thanks again, Stevie). Maybe his grandson can finally get The MacArthur that particular Illuminati didn’t see fit to bestow GT whilst he was here. We’ll take this, for now.

Adam experienced incredible spiritual & personal growth in his all too short time with us. 🌹

Berlin Kingston.

How do the Guardsmen who were deployed that day live with themselves? I mean the ones that aren’t the dissociative psychopaths unavailable to human feelings that too many blankly ascribe to anyone in uniform? At least some of them must still be alive on this terrible anniversary.

God Bless Adam, & his clarity. Violence Is A Dead End. Assaultive, or retaliatory.

HBD to The GOAT 🐐 👑♥️

You don’t want to be Red Shirt Guy playing cowbell - EVER.

Here’s The Thing about“regrettable mods”tho- there is a vibrant & quite lucrative specialty of vintage guitar restoration executed by an elite cadre of forensic level luthiers who can reverse any harebrained customization back to spec. If the guitar is All That? It can come back.

Not to mention he’s an alternate bridge crew member of the Starship Enterprise beaming in from an alternate 25th century timeline 🚀. That’s a Klingon tuning btw.

Thank you. Making that record? We had fun. Every. Day. Love, Kudos, & Gratitude to Ed Stasium & Paul Hamingson, who produced & engineered it(& a lot of other people too long to list here, most prominently Mick Jagger who produced Glamour Boys & Which Way To America 🇺🇸?.

“making it look like it was jury rigged outside a garage sale in a really bad neighborhood.” Which is a distinct aesthetic unto itself…
