It's just crushing to hear about the death of Steve Albini at age 61. He was one of the rare people influential on music as musician, producer and advocate for the working band. The records above are just a sample of his work as an engineer and producer. Needless to say it's a seminal bunch of albums.

These records certainly impacted me, but I would say seeing his bands when I was teenager was huge. His guitar sounded like it was made out nails. Sometimes it sounded like James Brown played through industrial machinery. They were funny and irreverent but most of all I think it represented music that was free from chains of the music industry. Since punk went corporate it may be difficult for people to understand that, for many of us, it wasn't about the musical style but rather that it represented the idea that music was not just for rock stars to play throngs of screaming fans. You, in fact, could do it too.

And that's it, I doubt he would want the hagiography to come. Or as Marlene Dietrich says in Touch of Evil, "What does it matter what you say about people?"
