Actually... I take that back.

Jesus was just a guy too and he never released an album anywhere near as good as Songs About Fucking.

I stand by my original statement. ;)

I think Shellac are alright. I don't get why so many people think his bands are so amazing or original though.

amazing, maybe not, but original - absolutely. i've not heard much more abrasive music that i like, and steve albini's guitar sounds are different than anything else i've heard.

I think Big Black fucking sucks. I like Shellac an awful lot though.

And here I was slowly falling in love with you... way to wreck my hopes and dreams BEN!
;)

Seriously, Songs About Fucking is a perfect album. I can't even comprehend how someone could not love it from beginning to end.

soulless and metallic.

I've never heard a drum machine from that era sound any other way. I'm guessing you never liked any industrial either?

ah...

Thing is though, I can't even imagine it with live drums. Without that soulless driving beat, I almost feel like it would lose some of the rawness and urgency.

I know a girl who had sex with Steve Albini. She loves him.

And says he's an absolute cunt.

Does that make it a lesbian affair, a girl having sex with a cunt?

Or it just means she's a woman. Women love cuntbag men. Tell'm you don't give a fuck and their panties burst into flames.
