A direct rip of Albini's much better "The Problem With Music" (1993 in MRR, IIRC): http://www.negativland.com/albini.html http://www.negativland.com/albini.htm

- wyclif 16y agoYou beat me to it. However, to give Courtney Love her due I would simply add that it's not really a direct rip. She was certainly influenced and inspired by Steve Albini's rant, but she expanded upon it and added a lot of material.
- kree10 16y agoI saw this in MRR, though it's only one part of a longer piece from The Baffler published around the same time. The Baffler version had more ranting on the aesthetic side (rather than business side). Lots on production/producers and vintage microphones (alluded to in this part where he uses "punchy" and "warm"). EDIT: found a link to the whole thing: http://www.mercenary.com/probwitmusby.html http://www.mercenary.com/probwitmusby.html
