Of all the Albini recorded/performed recordings that have been running through my head since yesterday the lyrics to this one have been really hitting hard:

Just crushed. 100% my life is where it is today because Steve added a message board to the studio website. Last time I interacted w/ SA in person was when Maple Stave was recording in B in November 2022 and he was in A w/ Code Orange. I was doing a backing vocal in the control room, just getting war...

I've had an older 400RB (attached power cable, -10db switch under the input) for over 20 years and ever lacked for volume. It can't be all that different from the 800RBs power section since most folks (here at least) are using the full range 300 watt power section and not biamping. That amp has soun...

I'm definitely not looking at anything as technical as some of you folks, but one of the first interviews I ever had for a role in my field, the person who had the job currently was doing an Excel assessment with me. When I told him there was something I couldn't figure out he said "here let me...
