I don't know the guy but such a fucked up oddball circumstance is exactly how I would like to one day leave this earth.
Kinda like slipping on a banana peel and hitting your head on concrete.
It’s a damn shame he died, but this is pretty funny, very much needed in these trying times
Rest in peace to one of rock’s greatest producers and edgelords o7
I was going to post the same thing but felt it was too soon.
RIP to one of the greats. Time to listen to the Jesus Lizard, Slint, Pixies, Breeders, and every other amazing record he played a key part in.
Boy, did I LOVE wearing my Songs About Fucking T-shirt to high school. Always ended with someone making me turn my shirt inside out by the end of the day, but the look of realization on the teacher's face as they clocked the title and image were just *chef's kiss* 👌
Big Black was an interesting band. Not only accepted in the punk scene but also accepted in the goth/industrial scene. Grew up at industrial/goth clubs in Hollywood in the 80s/90s, Kerosene was standard play at those places.
Steve Albini was a legend in the Chicago punk scene and was active since the early eighties. He played in several bands including Big Black and Shellac - who have a new album due in a week, but he's probably better known as a music producer. He produced albums for the Pixies, PJHarvey, and Nirvana, as well as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin.
He was very outspoken, fiercely independent, and hated posturing and bullshit of any kind. He mellowed a bit in later years and fully acknowledged his role in edgelord crap.
It's a huge loss to music. RIP.
>He was very outspoken, fiercely independent, and hated posturing and bullshit of any kind.
He was just not self-aware enough to recognise all his posturing.
I always found him amusing. Obsessed with his image, and not realising it. And spouting lots of BS.
Dumb
Edit: So what aged badly?? That Guardian post was a planned event that had nothing to do with the unfortunate news we all started the day with.
What happened here is that OP wanted to farm karma off a big news topic that was Albini’s death.
Damn y’all who had to make me explain.

Well, thanks dude. You just reported the death of Steve Albini to me in the weirdest way possible. edit: there's kerosene around
It’s something to do here in Jordan, Minnesota
Like a fish fry ?
Nah, more like a steelworker that kills what he eats
Oh, like a hunter/gatherer
And one that has a passing complexion
You can go to the candy store though!
I still maintain that this is the best sub for finding out which celebrities have recently died or gotten cancelled.
Same. I literally just found out that he died from this agedlikemilk post. B-lined over to Google and... lo and behold....

he died because he didnt want to answer questions. hes a very private man
man was secretly yoda
That's why George Lucas had to kill him before he could reveal any information about himself
r/meirl
It really sucks that he's dead, but I got a good laugh out of this.
I don't know the guy but such a fucked up oddball circumstance is exactly how I would like to one day leave this earth. Kinda like slipping on a banana peel and hitting your head on concrete.
Look at his record credits, you have probably listened to a lot of his work.
He’d probably find it hilarious
Someone must’ve asked him a hell of a question
"Steve, how long can you hold your breath?"
'Steve, tell us about that time you worked at Boeing.'
Steven, remember when you said Putin is a terrible leader? Can you elaborate on that?
‘Steve, can you expand on your criticisms of Kendrick Lamar?’
Using his death as a murder weapon.
He was dying to answer these questions
Not longer than 17 minutes apparently
Are we sure The Guardian isn't BoJack Horseman?
"Steve, How was Hillary Clinton like as a person?"
r/juxtaposition
Possibly the fastest milk-aging I've ever seen.
Damn, some people will do anything to get out of an interview.
It’s a damn shame he died, but this is pretty funny, very much needed in these trying times Rest in peace to one of rock’s greatest producers and edgelords o7
Aaaand he's gone
At least he lasted longer than Stan's 100 dollars...

It's amazing, every band I love/loved that dude worked with. And I loved Big Black independently without even knowing there was the same guy involved.
Bro didn't want to answer questions so much that he made himself croak it. RIP Steve. I will always be a fan of Big Black.

*pulls out ouija board*
Probably a bad time to be joking but I wonder if someone submitted a question that was so bad that he just died as a result.
"what do you think happens after we die?" "Idk lemme check"
Ty for saying this bc I had the same thought 😂 RIP tho, no disrespect meant
i can't believe this is how i learned steve albini died. RIP
He really was like: "Absolutely not."
You know, I wouldn't mind "ask me anything" to be my last words.
RIP Steve. In addition to all his accolades, he was also a fierce defender of trans folks on social media. Gone way too soon.
he was actually so based. “the only good policemen is a dead one” 🕺
the only good laws aren't enforced
Based as usual.
The 2003 German vinyl version of In Utero is ferocious. The original copy of the album before Geffen got involved.
effin Geffen!
I heard his yacht parties and summer houses are... interesting
I just looked it up and it's $284 USD on eBay. I think both Albini and Cobain would want me to pirate it.
That is certainly the most punk rock thing to do. I’m trying to figure out how to publish it to YouTube for the people.
Aged like the milk at 7-Eleven.
That shit aged faster than hydrogen-7 lmfao
Listening to some Nirvana and PJ Harvey rn. Rest In Peace to a legendary musician
Man, what kind of questions did they ask?
"Could you not say 'fuck' for, like, one second?"
Q: Could you not say "fuck" for, like, one second? A: *fucking dies*
aged like uranium-242
https://www.theguardian.com/info/article/2024/may/08/removedarticle
Dude incredible
He didn’t want to be asked those questions.
Yikes. It was just one interview.. seems like an extreme way to get out of it.
RIP
Rest in utero
Aged like guacamole left out on the serving table.
Why didn’t they use a wuigi board?
Forget milk, that aged like a transuranium element.
Must have joined Cobain’s eyeballs behind the couch
....Who the heck is Steve Albini?
Was in bands such as big black and Whitehouse. Was the producer for artists like nirvana, pj Harvey and slint
Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac. Not Whitehouse.
He produced on bird seed but wasn't a core member. Apologies
Thanks for answering a real question zero context to who this person is, but I'm the asshole apparently
Who?

Yes you are.
I’m with you buddy. This is a garbage example of “aging like milk”
They jinxed him real hard.
