Mad Steve Albini Adds to Rich Tradition of Fake, Angry Twitter Celebrities

Good old Steve Albini. It’s easy to admire him, but it’s also easy for the internet to use him as a punching bag. In a recent, excellent chat with GQ, Albini made headlines by talking trash on Sonic Youth (“They chose to join the mainstream culture and become a foot soldier for that culture’s encroachment into my neck of the woods by acting as scouts.”), fashion (“I think fashion is repulsive.”) and even the publication interviewing him (“I hope GQ as a magazine fails.”)....  read more

USPS Blacks Out Steve Albini's Christmas Charity

When sound engineer Steve Albini isn’t producing albums, shredding a guitar in Shellac, writing songs, leaving comments on Paste reviews or tending to any of his other right-brain hobbies, he and his wife, Heather Whinna, dedicate their holiday season to helping Chicago’s needy households. Every year, according to the Chicago Tribune, they raise around $100,000 via an annual Second City fundraiser, and then pack the proceeds into a van in the form of toys, clothing, computers, grocery-store gift certificates and cash, all to be delivered Santa-style on Christmas Day to less-fortunate families....  read more

Steve Albini Publishes Love of Vegetables, Record Stores

As you may have been able to tell from the plethora of posts about Record Store Day, April 18 was a big day for indie-music retailing. After all, the record store is one of the most enduring establishments of this little subculture we call rock 'n' roll; who can forget the excitement of going down to your local mom-n-pop on Tuesdays and scoping out the new releases? Evidently, not erstwhile Big Black frontman Steve Albini, who we've learned (from Daily Swarm) cut a rather whimsical ad in support of Record Store Day....  read more

Jarvis Cocker diagnosed with Further Complications

With Pulp receding in the rearview mirror, frontman Jarvis Cocker has lately been flexing his musical chops for his well-received solo career. The sequel to his 2006 self-titled solo debut has just been: Further Complications. "Complications" is apparently a diagnosis of our zeitgeist; Cocker has dished on the meanings behind the names of several of the possible tracks. "Slush" ("I guess slush will be the ultimate outcome of global warming."), "Caucasian Blues" ("An attempt to understand the pain of a man whose Honda Goldwing has run out of petrol") and "I Never Said I Was Deep" ("The phrase that I...  read more

All Tomorrow's Parties 2008: Day 2

[Above: Thee Silver Mt. Zion]Day 2 of ATP began with a scare: there was a rumor, spread over Blackberries and touch-and-go Internet access, that Kutsher's and the surrounding Catskills hotels near the festival site had severe bedbugs infestations. It was hard to determine which was scarier: the idea of carrying bedbugs back to our homes, or standing too close to the stage during Les Savy Fav's set....  read more
