What a class act. What music is all about.
Albini referenced the Jerky Boys crank call tape making the rounds in the early 90s!: “I'll work circles around you. I'll rap your head with a ratchet...”
This letter is everything. I want to fall in love with him, be his best friend and take a bullet for him - that's what he gets across in one letter. Lots of people don't get this across in a lifetime.
I can hear his voice even though I have no clue what he sounds like. Fabulous letter writer! “I also love the puke-inducing low end that comes off an old Fender Bassman or Ampeg guitar amp and the totally blown sound of an SVT with broken-in tubes.” Again no idea about most of this stuff but I totally get what he means! Gosh, what a great letter.
I only recently heard it for the first time, and it was almost exactly what I expected.
EDIT: Adding the link might've helped... This is from the Oh! Brother podcast hosted by the Hanley Brothers from The Fall.
One of the best letters I have read! Thank you for introducing this marvelous man to me.
