Steve Albini

I knew his name and the Nirvana connection, not much else, but I'm sure the Indie/Alt Rock world will be in mourning, RIP:

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

This one makes me really sad.  I thought he had a great attitude.  He did great work and wouldn't take royalties because he believed that he got paid for the work he did and that was it.  Our band is going to do some recording and I mentioned I knew it was unrealistic, but it would be amazing to do it with Albini.  They said it could be done.  I loved knowing it was a possibility.  And his band Shellac was great.  I saw them in 2018 and it was fantastic.
