Steve Albini RIP


Shit. 61! That's no age is it? Well, maybe it is but when you've just celebrated your own 54th birthday (on the day that Steve died as well) it sort of puts everything into perspective. 

Reading the many tributes to one of the most prolific and important record producers of our time it's pretty clear that Albini knew his own mind and if you didn't like that, tough titties. So, rather than pop up another video by Nirvana, Pixies or PJ and Duncan...hang on...no that can't be right...Harvey...I've plumped for an equally straightforward no crap taking legend Miles Hunt and his short lived, underrated Vent 414 band whose debut album Steve produced back in 1996. Pure class.
