Perhaps not a household name himself (in the UK, anyway), by my god this one paragraph from his Wiki lays out one heck of a career.

I don't know if he was a household name in America either: my parents would know who he was though. His essays (rants) are one thing that inspired me to be interested in the music industry. I think I cited him in my highschool thesis.

Red meat, fat and carbohydrate are not a healthy meal...

Like to know where he could buy a loaf of bread, cheese AND roast beef for less than £8.

Sainsburys. 

Sliced deli beef, £2 - £3

Sandwich loaf, £1.40

400g mature cheddar cheese, £3 (other cheeses are available)

 

And you'll get more than one meal out of that lot.

Is that with Nectar Card savings? 

Can't help feeling his meal is a little dry. Probably  needs some spread which would push the cost up over a Big Mac meal deal.

One of the beef options had a Nectar discount, otherwise no. 

Spread? well, you could buy a jar of spread or a pack of butter but it's going to do for several meals.

You wouldn't need any if you made a toasted cheese sandwich.

Steve Albini needs no spread! Even when he was alive he would scoff at such a preposterous idea; spreads are for the morally weak!! Billy Corgan eats spreads, food of the corporate cocksuckers!!!

Probably not a household name but anyone can just read his list of credits and gain a sense of how major his impact on the sound of the 90’s was.

Guess we'll never know.


Is it too late for me to sign up and ask one? 
 

“Hi Steve, Ulitzer here. Big fan (not really, never heard of you). Tell me Steve, how likely is it that you’ll drop dead from a heart attack without ever reading this?”

I even stopped buying burgers to cook, Tesco's rather than Sainsbury's but same thing. Burgers were 6 -8 quid a kilo, those minute steaks (thin things) are 9-10 quid a kilo and aren't 'eyeballs and arseholes'.

In honesty I've tried to cut down on red meat altogether.

To be fair, I'll still get McD on occasion if I'm in a rush or just cba.

 

Now that everyone's comfortably asleep, 'here's Steve with the weather'.

Hey, Tesco burgers aren't eyeballs and arseholes! They're 100% British horse beef brisket and chuck.

So they say. :P.

 

And anyway, they're going to make burgers out of the leftovers of everything else because 'why wouldn't they?' they're in it for the money not the food quality. Even if technically it's not offal.

 

I'm boring myself now. And fkin miles off topic.

Since Albini's death, I've been listening to Silkworm and getting into fights over whether Steely Dan suck (they do). Albini-approved pasttimes.

Edit - better link here.  Breast cancer which has spread to the brain :skull:

 

Kathy Brown is performing again - she'll be doing her first gig since been diagnosed with cancer. Looks pretty good (if it's a recent video). Either way, maybe someone near Bexhill can do some form spotting - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1356717388350352

As one of the biggest Pop Stars of his day, it wasn't unreasonable to find him in the Pop Stars thread. I would never have considered him a country singer, though he may have recorded some music in that style.

 

Anyways, I'll leave it for someone else to cross-post in the Singles Chart section.
