"Can you IMAGINE a world without lawyers?"

You know, a lot of people have pointed out that the Beasties were never especially gifted MCs, but they way they trade lines or even single words and riff of each other on this album always struck me as pretty impressive. It's the musical equivalent of hanging out with a bunch of really close, quick-witted friends and…

Station To Station was the height of his coke addiction, the Berlin trilogy was when he tried to recover. It's likely he was still pretty fucked up, though.

I'm definitely the less flattering of those two things, sure.

Enh… I'll take it, I guess. I'm obviously not implying Albini's overtly racist or anything, but I feel like if you're gonna be as opinionated about what constitutes "good music" as he is, it's really worth stopping to think if that definition winds up shutting out a lot of non-white music by default. Not that I think…

Potentially inflammatory point: has Albini ever praised music not made by white guys?

I would!

I think this is true of any medium. I think part of the reason rock music has been boring me to tears for the past however long is that most of the non-white non-dude people appear to have fucked off a long time ago.

Yes. Distressing is the word for it. I can't even THINK about The Gush.

I caught Blink-182 live at Riot Fest in Chicago and he was visibly wasted, missing notes and swearing loudly at his own inability to perform properly… so yeah, all three of those options are totally plausible.

A trip down memory lane into a ditch where nobody can find you.

They buy the drugs.
They light the fire.
They are our main supplier.
They are our man and they buy the drugs.

I'm not sure I do, to be honest.
