When a community asset like a pub, community centre or music venue is put up for sale, it should be sold to the community for a fair price instead of being sold-off to developers.

@zzzzaaaacccchhh Just watching the trailer, heard the name of the TV show β The Pink Opaque was the Cocteau Twins's first US release, a compilation of their early tracks https://t.co/FljgPoHWW9
@electricalWSOP I think this is indicative of the direction your life has taken since then. I read it years ago, and I've never forgotten it.

R.I.P. Steve Albini βNobody made noise sound so goodβ
His work with the Breeders, Low, PJ Harvey, Pixies, Nirvana, GYBE changed our life for the better π
οΏ½οΏ½ bonus scene from D.I.Y. OR DIE: How To Survive as an Independent Artist (2002)
Chicago's @Metro pays tribute to hometown hero Steve Albini.
"Thank you for all that you contributed to punk rock in our town and the reverberations of creativity you brought forth, felt the world over."
Hope these two get to have a reunion and share steak sandos again up there (or like wherever they are).
Anthony Bourdain and Steve Albini at Chicago Ricobene's for Parts Unknown S07E02.
Two mix tapes that Steve Albini sent me in 1984 after I wrote about Big Black in my fanzine Hit the Trail. (I was 16 or 17.) Incredible: first time that I heard Ivor Cutler, Wipers, Scratch Acid, Friction, Slovenly, Cravats, etc., etc. What a sweetheart.
Musician, studio engineer and the mastermind behind some of rock's greatest albums. A hero to us all. Thank you for setting the standard so high.
RIP Steve Albini. Deeply missed, forever loved.

RIP Steve Albini - he has passed away aged 61πΉ
Music today would indeed be markedly different without the influential underground scene of the 1980s.
One individual who played a significant role in shaping this scene was Steve Albini.
By rejecting royalties on _In Utero_ alone, Steve Albini turned down about two million bucks. Putting principle before personal enrichment is one reason why he's one of the extremely few producers (sorry, Steve) whom great numbers of people would mourn. Money isn't everything.
RIP Steve Albini. Hereβs a bit of an interview I did with him at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago a while back (2010) - - his take on The Ramones / Punk rockβs influence on his life is a pretty deep cut - more to come. #SteveAlbini#Rip#Punk#Ramones
yes there is a Steve Albini interview with Anthony Bourdain. I could only find a shitty Tiktok rip, but worth it to see Bourdain giggle at Albini saying βjagoffβ
