Relistening to Ka's latest on YouTube, I saw a note of his passing. Not your average MC, starting his career at a mature age, spinning dense rhymes over often drumless loops, dropping heavy meditations on life, pain & meaning. Ka took hip-hop to a space no one else can touch. RIP
We lost a legend yesterday. Despite relishing in playing a provocateur, Steve Albini was at heart the conscience of underground rock. Albini was my main hero as a young man, and admired by all as an indie elder statesman. His work was great & not done. RIP https://t.co/eQo0o6Hkbu
I'm deeply saddened to hear the news of Steve Albini’s passing. Steve was a real gift to music and helped both The Wedding Present and Cinerama develop our sound and transform our identity. He was also a genuine person and a complete pleasure to be around.
Albini was the kind of interview where an answer to a routine question could stick in yr mind for decades after. thought often of this exchange from an interview w/ Mark Prindle, about Albini recording Jimmy Page & Robert Plant

@DisastroMan I've got 3 CDs in my truck's disc changer that have been stuck in there for over a year. One of them is Swordfishtrombones. Good thing too because there is no way to get sick of it. My family may think I'm nuts but I bump Tom Waits nearly every day.
Goated picks you have there.
@DisastroMan Life's been busy, dear mate. Even before we entered peak season at the mega--corporation, spending time on twitter was a difficult luxury to justify. Gotta believe I've missed the friends and the new music tips. For the new year I hope to get back in the saddle. Merry Christmas!
Being born in 1984 in Fresno, my most possible wish is that I could have seen Neutral Milk Hotel two hours away in San Francisco as as twelve year old https://t.co/wf7KwQnfXC
