Who herself is only "plus sized" in this fucked up universe.

Personally I think Electr-O-Pura is their best album, it perfectly balances freak out jams with pop tunes. Painful is good too.

Hey, it worked for his Star Trek reboot. Oh wait, that was terrible..

Not to mention rolling out the software updates. No wonder Tarkin always seemed pissed off.

Yeah. And for my money, "4 Track Demos" sounds great, so it's not a question of needing glossy production values.

But Albini's shtick is that everything he doesn't like is objectively shit. It's a little exhausting. (For the record I like Big Black and Prince.)

Kerosene 4 U, set U on Fire.

He had high praise for PJ Harvey. Which he balanced out by dumping all over Liz Phair, but that turned out to be fairly prescient.

Steve Albini also hates jazz, or really anything that is not electric guitars played loud in 4/4.

Nobody "plays" music any more, silly. They access it.

That Steve Albini does not care for Prince's music is … completely not surprising.

10 minutes, or in Tarantino units, 60 N words.

Duke Ellington was not really a Duke!

It's sobering to realize that as a white kid in NYC in the '80s, I routinely ran around with cap guns. But emphasis on "white kid".

"Conspiracy to promote piracy of Expendables 3"

I wanted to go with "Monica Bellucci" as my favorite Italian dish, but couldn't work in a pirate angle.

Glad to know others dislike PHC. I mean, I don't have a burning hatred for it, I just turn the radio knob when it comes on. But I do find it insufferable.

I've found that Netflix for selection, and then Red Box for instant gratification when I want to watch something mainstream that just came out, is a pretty good combo. (I have sucky internet and no cable service, hence shiny discs.)

Every 30 seconds, someone misunderstands statistics.
