  1. Damn, very sad, made great music and was an amazing engineer. Recorded some of the best underground bands (and some obvious big names like Nirvana).

  2. I’ll always remember him as the guy who championed Rudimentary Peni, a band that could arguably be called the truest and least commercial punk band to ever exist, and I’ll always love him for that.

  3. Big Black was a great band. Dropped in to many a skate session with Big Black playing in the Boom Box.

  4. Just listened to him on Conan talking about in utero. 61 is too young.

  5. Mclusky Do Dallas is a kickass record and one of the many rough but listenable albums Albini produced/engineered. He always had a knack for that.

    Always respected that he kept his standards.

  6. So glad I got to see Shellac a few times. Dude was one of the greatest to ever live.
