Steve Albini

Steve Albini just finished mixing our album.He's now making a cd-rom listening copy out of the tapes.
I should point out that it's 1.27am local time as I write and he was in the studio at 11.30am this morning and we've only taken a 30 minutes lunch break.He's not paid by hour either, he's paid by day.He's worked 13.5 hours today so far and he still has about an hour worth of material to go through.
The recordings sound amazing, there might be flaws but those are due to the band not to him.
I mean...come on you know who this guy is and what he's done so far.I don't mean recording big albums and working with hugely influential people, I mean crafting his own sound, playing with some incredible bands( his bands) and never, ever, sucking THE MAN's cock and being quite verbal about it.
You know who this guy is.And here he is, paid $350 a day, working 14 hours days for popular workshop as he would do for any other band in the world, provided they didnt make him physically sick.
He cracks great jokes and meaws like a proper cat too.His boilersuit has a really long zipper( you know why).
I guess that's it.Just wait till you hear THAT sound.
I guess I ll miss him.
