Steve Albini letting the Foo Fighters use his studio, but not all his studio - from the Chicago episode of Sonic Highways [2014]

[andyoubleedandbreathetheair]

Give me the flammable life; I'm cold as a match, ready to strike...so here I go. Here lies a city on fire, singing along, the arsonist choir...now here I go.

It started with a spark and burned into the dark...now here I go. There is a river I found, into the wild, under the ground...so here I go.

A button on a string and I heard everything...now here I go. Well...Oh, sweet ignition, be my fuse; you have no choice. You have to choose.

Bid farewell to yesterday, say goodbye I'm on my way. But in the end we all, come from what's come before...so here I go.

Well...oh sweet ignition be my fuse, you have no choice you have to choose. Bid farewell to yesterday, say goodbye I'm on my way.

I threw it all away because, I had to be what never was. Been so hungry I could lie; you took my word I took your wine. And held you in my bloody hands, these rattled bones and rubber bands. Washed them in the muddy water, looking for a dime and found a quarter!

But you can't make me change my name, you'll never make me change my name! Pay no mind now ain't that something...

I'm something from nothing; you are my fuse! I'm something from nothing; you are my fuse! It goes oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! It goes oh oh oh!

AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!

No you can't make me change my name, you'll never make me change my name! Pay no mind now ain't that something!

I'm something, from nothing!

I'm something, from nothing!

Ohhhhhh Grohl, Shiflett, Smear, Hawkins (🕊), Jaffee, Mendel, and much, much later, Freese. Grohl and Hawkins definitely live in my brain, rent free.

Remembering Steve Albini 1962-2024

One of the great music producers of all time has left the building: Steve Albini has died at 61. In addition to his own music he made with bands like Big Black and Shellac, he was one of the most talented music producers in my lifetime.

He produced two of my favorite albums ever! First: The Pixies' Surfer Rosa (as I noted in my album review of the 2018 reissue "With the help of producer Steve Albini they made something so innovative and timeless. The Pixies’ signature loud-quiet-loud sound that set the stage for alt-rock that followed was on full display with this album.") The other: Nirvana's third and final studio album In Utero (If you haven't listened to the anniversary box sets I highly recommend them! I named the 20th anniversary edition my #1 Reissue Album of 2013 and the 30th anniversary edition my #1 Reissue Album of 2023)!

He frequently collaborated with The Breeders, on their albums Pod, Title TK, Mountain Battles, and their excellent 2018 album All Nerve (read my review here).

He also worked with artists like Urge Overkill, P.J. Harvery, The Jesus Lizard, Cheap Trick, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (Walking Into Clarksdale is one of my faves of their post-Led Zeppelin albums), and Rye Coalition. Speaking of Rye, he appeared in my friend Jenni Matz documentary Rye Coalition: The Story of the Hard Luck 5. Check out this clip from his interview for the doc:

I'd also recommend the Chicago episode of Sonic Highways, which featured Albini.

REVIEW: Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways 7 - Seattle - "Subterranean"

A HUGE thank you to Uncle Meat, who found the original writeup for this episode of Sonic Highways in his email.  Now the series is posted complete.  Thank you!! FOO FIGHTERS – Sonic Highways – 7 Seattle – “Subterranean” Seattle. The home of Nirvana and the birthplace of the very first Foo Fighters demos. It’s a place Dave is intimately familiar with. Low black clouds, rain and long isolated…

Sometimes a family is a hedgehog and two Chao co-raised by another hedgehog who never sees the other hedgehog in the garden at the same time-

(plus occasionally a fox, an echidna, and a bat)

I spent a lot of today and last two days getting Sonic and Shadow Chao for the first time, on my steam deck. Granted it was mostly leaving the game idle while watching youtube or something.

Already played through SA2 on pc, but wanted to try it with a controller layout (I don't have a good separate one to use exclusively for my pc) and since it's much more comfortable to replay stages that way I decided to do it on the deck. Which btw I have because my pc is OLD and cannot run graphically high end games...

They promptly made an egg after I took those screenshots lmao

I heard the chime go off while I had the game details up in steam KLFJDSKLFJDKSL sneaky gremlins. Heart Fruit who? They look so proud of themselves

Chao are precious I hope to one day see the garden mechanic brought back! It's really cute how much personality it has for a little side minigame type of deal, I'd like it to have more of an impact in a game if it returns, but I wouldn't complain if not. When I first played through the story on PC it was a sweet, relaxing break between stages the times I grabbed the key to go straight to it afterward.

[ID: A digital illustration of Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog. He is rail grinding down the sides of the large red bridge from the Radical Highway level of Sonic Adventure 2. It is night-time and the city lights are visible in the background. Shadow looks serious and red flames spark up around his shoes. End description.]

Been very slowly getting good at this level
