Another write-up on Steve Albini.

"[Albini's] rebellion against corporate labels was rooted in a deeply held philosophy: that every musician is a worker."

@stefan I'm super-sad to hear that 💔 I didn't know Steve Albini had passed, it's so early, and such a life force. He's been an inspiration to me since... I dunno... I had just moved out from my parents when I got introduced to Shellac and things started moving fast from there.

@benjaoming Yes, he was still young. It's a huge loss, but he's leaving behind an incredible legacy.

@stefan turns out he wasn't very cool anyways... I didn't even know about this... https://medium.com/@MoonMetropolis/now-that-steve-albini-is-dead-lets-reflect-on-his-admitted-love-and-promotion-of-child-fadf5072288e

Edit: There's much more to the above story, which is written by an experienced right-wing internet troll

@benjaoming I hardly ever share celebratory posts about individuals, knowing everyone's flawed, even if I haven't heard any particular accusations about that specific person myself.

The one time I break my own rule, Jesus Christ!

@stefan it seems there's a lot to it, sorry about just sharing the link like that, I'm still a bit shocked and trying to digest things. Seems I've shared a link to a post that doesn't say everything... and is written by a dubious person. There are some comments below it with more nuance.

@benjaoming Yeah, just going through those and the linked articles. And learning about who the author of the blog is.

Oh wow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Ryne_Goldberg

@stefan "Goldberg was released from prison on April 1, 2024." 😖
