i am super-interested in checking out steve albini's old band, big black, but can't find anything other than a few streaming tracks on touch and go's website. no itunes, no emusic, no nothing.
any ideas, short of wading through the hell that is p2p?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1105&Focus=24535#Comment_24535 2008-02-20T13:42:36-08:00 2013-05-21T01:57:56-07:00 KitsuneCaligari http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=248

You might try a used cd/tape store - the real world is not completely obsolete yet....

I have never had problems with Soulseek.

I'd say Soulseek too. It's p2p, sure, but it's very good p2p.

if you get desperate, and I have the time, I could dig up my CDs outta my DJ gear. I'm a huge fan of Big Black. Nothing gets me on the dance floor faster than the song "Kerosene."

Yeah, Soulseek's definitely your best bet. Check out Songs About Fucking and Atomiser to start with - having just looked at Wikipedia, I realise they only actually did those two albums, which I'd ...

Kerosene or Heartbeat are good tracks to start.
I've never totally clicked with Albini's later stuff, but I love those two albums.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1105&Focus=24556#Comment_24556 2008-02-20T14:52:10-08:00 2013-05-21T01:57:56-07:00 branjo http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=646

Agreed that Kerosene is nothing short of an anthem for me. and for you. i only have a duped cassette from ages ago... now where did i put that...?

i found a torrent of songs about fucking, but none for atomizer.

C'mon folks. We're talking about musicians here, on an independent label. Please buy the discs or records. They're not that much money, considering the amount of enrichment you'll get from them. ...

Atomizer is part of the Rich Man's 8-track CD. Amazon has it new on CD for $13.98

Songs About Fucking is really the one you need to get---their best work.


As an aside, I met Steve Albini when I did some maintenance on his DSL circuit at Electric Audio. This was a handful of years ago. He's a great guy and if you ever get a chance to read his diatribes on the music industry you might think twice about ever signing a contract. Oh...here it is.

He gave me a free copy of 10,000 hz.

williac--I was at that concert too! I was just wishing beyond hope that the Butthole Surfers would show up.

BTW, if you're in Chicago you can probably record with the guy for around $2000. He's got the best mics in the business--hands down.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1105&Focus=30331#Comment_30331 2008-03-14T22:39:53-07:00 2013-05-21T01:57:56-07:00 kindesign http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2752

also... this is kind of stupid, but the minute I thought about Big Black I thought about their cover of "The Model" on SAF. That led me to think about awesome versions of Kraftwerk songs ...

Senor Coconut. If you get a chance check these guys out for sure!


And another suggestion. Look for The Network-- Hungry hungry Models

I know I got off subject, but Big Black made me do it.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1105&Focus=35694#Comment_35694 2008-04-02T02:33:19-07:00 2008-04-02T02:45:44-07:00 blue straggler http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2964

Most of what I would tell you has been said, but I wouldn't write off the early EP's. There's some fun stuff there, and if you get Lungs on vinyl and play Steelworker on 33rpm, it actually sounds ...

Lungs on vinyl and play Steelworker on 33rpm, it actually sounds pretty cool in a warped way. The vocals aren't even pitched too strangely since Albini's voice was so thin back then. But I'm a bit of a vinyl junky, and not everyone has a record player these days.

Also, this site is great for reading up on bands/muscians and seeing what they've done http://www.allmusic.com

(of course, if you do want some Big Black on vinyl rather cheap, you could try here http://www.insound.com/)

I assume you're already familiar with Shellac (his current band), but if not, do what you can to see them live.]]>
