I’m getting into recording, and yeah he would’ve been so cool to meet. I plunged so many recording session vids to learn his philosophy which ultimately is doing a lot with less, and preserving the purest qualities of a band

Steve’s letter to Nirvana about recording In Utero, explaining his philosophy on production and recording

Giant inspiration

been bumping shellac and big black all day. rip king

Legend

61 is young!

Why?

Strange place to bring it up but he was as idiosyncratic and controversial as they make em

His philosophy on music, production and mixing has really been a big inspiration on me.

Trying not to second guess myself after the fact and moment has passed is really something I am practicing in my electronic music and my music overall.
Just the fact that he had a philosophy on production is so inspiring.

On a complete 1:1 level, I would never had mix and produced this song like I did if I had never heard Albini’s mix/production

RIP goat. Shellac first album one of the best rock albums ever

BECAUSE THEY WERE SQUIRRELS

rip legend 🙏

RIP. Hope he’s somewhere with a bottomless cup of kopi luwak playing poker and petting cats for all eternity.

REAL SQUIRRELS

He did eventually own up to a lot of the edgelord s*** from his past, thankfully, but of course no one’s under any obligation to forgive him if they don’t see fit to.

Yeah one of the first things i thought about was tweaze and how he was so excited about slint when they started out

well be lucky if I dont bust out crying

Decided to listen to this cuz of this post. Thanks for sharing, super fire. I’m extremely cynical about modern rock music and this was by far one of the best recent things I’ve heard in a long time

Looks like they’re coming to my city in a month so def hitting that up

Saw Melt Banana open for The Melvins and Napalm Death once. Insane show

Powerful lineup

Melt Banana live

he could do High on Fire and do Om. man I dont like how the fact that hes gone starts creeping on me harder a day after the news

First time I saw Melt-Banana might still be my favorite show I’ve ever been to.

The highest of praise sheesh

But yeah they're that good 😤

Big Black was one of my first edgy ass punk bands I listened to when I was a teenager. As I got older, I'm glad he addressed alot of that s*** he was on back in the day and called it exactly what it was, "edgelord s***".

He really was your prototypical snobby music nerd. But he knew his s***, and as time went on we saw that he was right on the money with alot of his criticisms of music festivals, the industry, and where streaming was going.
