    Energy, fun, knowledge and ethics. Wish I'd had a chance to work with him when I was in a band.

    "Remixing is for talentless pussies who don't know how to tune a drum or point a microphone."

    I really don't think I'd want to be stuck in a corner arguing with this man. Don't see how I'd get the upper hand...

    Some friends of mine recorded an EP at Albini's place about a year after "In Utero." I was there hanging out with them during the mixing process. Albini was -- much to their surprise -- very deferential and diplomatic about the whole thing. Going by that (and other people I knew who later recorded with him), there's parts of this that are deeply funny.

    And then there was also this, which came out of the sessions...
