New Shellac record releases next week! I would have attended a show this summer.
Damn, that was a name.
That dude touched some great music.

Not Albini-produced, but I like your train of thought. One of Steve’s two favorite albums all time:
RIP in peace. I loved a ton of music he was in or worked on.
was the main inspiration for Mudhoneys song Into Yer Shtik
Dan Peters saw Albini in a club and introduced himself and said he liked his production of his friends Tad album Salt Lick. Albini blew him off. He was a dick as usual. A night later Mark Arm introduced himself and told Albini he liked his shtik. lol
I also think its funny that he called Nirvana "REM with a Fuzz box" before producing In Utero.
One thing cool about him is he always took a flat fee to produce an album. He said anyone that took points for producing an album was a thief.

A master at getting the sound the band he produced envisioned it. Never overproduced an act, and balanced everything so well. Krist talks about the band listening to Surfer Rosa by The Pixies in their van and Kurt shot his hand in the air to make a declaration and said: “This shall be our snare sound!” And Albini was brought in from that.
