kurt cobain -y’all goat- on making smells like teen spirit

We’d been practicing for about three months. We were waiting to sign to DGC, and Dave Grohl and I were living in Olympia Wash., and Krist Novoselic was living in Tacoma Wash.. We were driving up to Tacoma every night for practice, trying to write songs. I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it smiles. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band — or at least in a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard.

🤗🤗🤗

nah maybe on trompe le monde even its my fav album bc it has covers and i like original stuff over that

i know for example frank recorded his “surf epic” instrumental with the band during trompe le monde sessions which would’ve been crazy if it had made the album, would’ve love that tho tbh

u?

I only recently got into that PiL album. Their debut is my favorite but the first three albums are all worth checking out. I also like “Rise”, “Disappointed” and the song with Afrika Bambaataa.

Raw Power is great but Funhouse has definitely gone on to become my favorite Stooges album.

I can never really sit through an entire Sonic Youth record but each one has a few songs I like. “Making the Nature Scene”, “Mote” and “Shadow of a Doubt” are probably my favorite songs of theirs.

Kleenex, Raincoats and Marine Girls are all 80’s all-female post-punk bands:

Not a huge Aerosmith fan but if you listen to the beginning of that song “Back in the Saddle” it totally sounds like something off Bleach.

Beat Happening were Calvin Johnson’s band, the guy who started K Records. Shambling, minimalist Cramps-influenced pop rock. Rites of Spring were the band Guy Picciotto was in before Fugazi; some people consider them the first emo band.

Never liked Mudhoney as much as it feels like I should.

Butthole Surfers had a weird run because they spent most of their career being the premier freak show of 80’s underground punk (strobe lights, fire, a stripper named Ta-Dah the S*** Lady at one point, disturbing films being projected backwards behind them as they played, weird records that were often barely music) but then randomly scored a huge radio hit in ‘96 with that song “Pepper”. I like their first album, Psychic... Powerless... Another Man’s Sac, the best but Locust Abortion Technician is cool, too. The live version of this song “Something” is my favorite song of theirs, though:

Haven’t really f***ed with Swans since Michael Gira basically admitted to raping that woman (his “apology” was basically “I didn’t realize you were taking that as me raping you” 🥴). A transgressive artist actually sexually abusing people pretty much cancels out their art for me. (My favorite songs of theirs were probably “Weakling” and “Red Sheet”, though.)

Surprised there wasn’t anything by Big Black on that list. Kurt Cobain was at their final show and kept a piece of Steve Albini’s guitar that he smashed at the end of the set.

Also, the self-titled Bad Brains album eats Rock for Light’s lunch every day of the week.

taking notes
that raincoats is coming back to me i remember that album cover

never picked on iggy or stooges, i like his album with josh home tho but that’s bc it sounds like some bowie outtakes

this sonic youth song goat:

yeh i know fugazi, prolly listened to that album way back then

agree on mudhoney i was speaking at top of my head but can’t recall any songs for the life of me

but im like that, im not even big on the grunge scene, i actually hate pearl jam lol their best record to me is the one where they a backup band for neil young

oh boy i forgot about this whole rape apology fiasco havnt listened much to swans neither since tbh

and didn’t albini produce in utero?

PIXIES OUT HERE STAY INFLUENCING MOVIES N BATMAN S***

Matt directing this Batman is exciting. The cast is so awesome. It seems different from other Batman movies to me, just with the cast. There's something about it that has an edge, it's young. To me, just my perception of it, it reminds me of when I was in college, and I went to go see The Pixies play, and looking around and feeling the vibe at a Pixies concert. That's what it felt like to me, a song like 'I Bleed.' That it has the energy and that sort of thing, and isn't so specifically targeted to a very young audience, or a very old audience, but has that power of chaos in it…

@LuJo

Yeah. Well, he RECORDED it, haha. Albini cedes all artistic credit, including production, to the artist. In addition to just liking his bands I’ve always really admired him as far as “producers” go. He only charges a crazy amount of money if you’re on a major and he never asks for points (not even on big s*** like In Utero). His studio, Electrical Audio in Evanston, IL, has always been one of the most affordable high-end professional a***ogue studios in the U.S. If you have your s*** together practice-wise (as in you don’t need multiple days for endless takes), bring your own tape, and are willing to just work with whatever engineer is there that day (and not insist on being recorded by Albini himself), you can make a great-sounding record there for pretty cheap.

wow wtf need to get on that asap

wait what u mean he recorded it? as in he did some instrumental on the album? thot he only produced

I am in

Nah, he didn’t play on it, he just engineered it. Just saying he doesn’t accept the credit of “producer” because it implies that he has some sort of artistic influence on the album when literally all he’s doing is the technical stuff. He’s not Rick Rubin trying to arrange the song with you, he’s just doing the technical stuff to the best of his ability so the band can make the album they want to make, free of Albini or anyone else’s influence. He asks how you want it to sound, sets up the microphones, and you sink or swim by the strength of your material and your artistic choices. Basically he doesn’t want to be praised or blamed for anyone else’s music just because he was the one who recorded it.

yesssiiir

dam that’s extremely real
