Recorded, not produced

Steve Albini is a genius. That is all. Well, not really. But he is. He produced-wait, sorry, "recorded" In Utero. He's would be awesome for that reason alone. But I also really like listening to his stuff from all his bands; they're mostly noise, but it's really, really good abrasive noise. Steve's three bands are Big Black, Rapeman, and Shellac, and they're all very similar (he plays guitar and sings in all of them). Listening to mostly Big Black, especially songs from their last studio album, like "The Model," "Bad Penny," and "He's A Whore." What? It's a Cheap Trick cover! Don't be so uptight.

Turns out that Shellac has 2 concerts in Oakland this October. And they're both on the weekend. And they have a cellist for the opening act named Helen Money. Shellac is the awesome band with songs like "Squirrel Song," "My Black Ass," and "Steady As She Goes" (not the stupid one with Jack White in it, although I'll admit that one isn't bad either). I really want to go to one of these. And since it's at a small club, it'll be intimate than a big, indulgent arena show. Just hope I can go.
