Dear Odd Future – Steve Albini is not a Liar but…
He heard what he heard and wrote what we wrote about his experience in a shuttle airport van in Barcelona about the artists known as Odd Future. Steve Albini is a bluesman by trade and a engineering purest by profession. For all intent and purposes he is not a starfucker. You won’t find him remixing shit. He records things as he hears them and uses the tools at his disposal to capture the noise in the room. Clearly though the internets loves some good gossips. Personally we find nothing redeeming about Odd Future just some kids making a rukus but remixes and mash-ups are not so bad – we respect the “art” form in a cultural sense. We do think Tyler The Creator and his gang should make as much money as they can now and put it away for their future because it’s not going to last. Here’s a direct quote from Albini’s always more than entertaining old school Electrical Audio message boards that started the war of words. Enjoy!
“The whole trip they complained about not being at a McDonalds and repeatedly shouted for the motherfucker to pull over so they could get some fucking McDonalds nigger. Interspersed with the McDonalds requests were shouted boasts about how often they masturbated and fucked bitches nigger and got paid like a motherfucker fifty grand like a motherfucker. They continued complaining that the trip was taking too long and insisted they be fed immediately all the way to the airport, where their minder presumably fed them.”
“I am quite happy none of them engaged me directly, because at least one of us would have regretted it.”
We admit this is a cheap trick and we’re adding to the noise because we actually like some of the indirect output.
