mjazzg Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Just read this, a shock. He leaves a legacy that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 (edited) Coincidentally, Shellac made the cover of the June issue of THE WIRE Magazine, because their first album in a decade has just come out. Edited May 8 by rostasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 (edited) Too young. A big shock. A hell of a legacy, but a complicated one. His work really draws into perspective the cultural shifts that have taken place in the last couple of decades.

clifford_thornton Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Gutted by the news. Was/am a fan of Big Black, R•peman, and Shellac -- Shellac was the only one I caught live back in the day, as I was a bit too young to have seen the earlier two bands. "Two Nuns and a Pack Mule" remains an absolute favorite. The first few Shellac singles are great, and while the albums don't hit as hard, "At Action Park" is quite something.

mjazzg Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I still remember the furore when, as a librarian, I bought 'Songs For Fucking' to add to the public library collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Strong album, Songs About Fucking. There's also this insanity: https://www.discogs.com/release/1800069-Big-Black-Talk-About-Fucking Atomizer was alway my go-to Big Black album.

AllenLowe Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I liked the first group, was it big black? And I had one weird experience with him that I consider positive. I was thinking at one point of trying to record with him as engineer, and though it never happened he actually responded to an email. Just almost never happens these days.

clifford_thornton Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 yep, Big Black. I understand that he'd record anyone who could pay the fees/time, so I'm sure he would've done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
