I'm in total shock about Steve Albini. Steve was my friend and the best recording engineer ever. He was, a sweet guy. The obits will use words like 'ornery...' Many of the obits will be written by cowards and 'lackeys.' He'd like me saying that.

Thinking of a few Steve Albini things that still make me laugh: If we (auteurs) did something he considered a bit lame in the studio, he would do a brilliant impression of a hippy pulling on a joint and throwing a frisbee, all in slow motion. It became 'a thing.' Very Steve.

I've long been convinced that British people only care about 3 things: Going on holiday. Aspiring to live in places that look like VD clinics. And hunting paedophiles.
