I was bracing myself to start hating Steve Albini as a result of this but, reading his rant, it seems like he was basically just saying "I was on a bus with them and they were tools" and every instance of the word "nigger" is reference to something they said (I also now get Rev's post, which wasn't as all in as I originally thought now that I have context).

the point of his article is acceptable -- i'm not sure he had to say "niggering" 15+ times

also it is kind of funny that steve albini was offended by black ppl using the n-word
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 August 2011 21:13 (fourteen years ago)
he probably didn't but it's likely he did so to emphasize how many times they said it; I do a similar thing when I talk about my cousin who doesn't curse but will drop "nigga" at every conceivable opportunity

The Daily Vulture otm:
We could have cut it off at "I am well aware, thanks, that good people can make ugly art and that ugly people can make good art. Ultimately the function of art is to express something and move an idea from one person to another, and the tools of that can include revulsion and discomfort." It might not work as an "excuse" for Albini, but, yep, that's basically the shtick here. Sorry you had a crappy bus ride, Steve.

right -- i'd be willing to bet tho that this was more of a case of "10 dudes saying the n word five times" than "one dude saying the n-word 50 times"
not that that truly matters
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 August 2011 21:17 (fourteen years ago)
lol @ if you think Albini was actually offended by the use of the word
― frogbs, Monday, 8 August 2011 21:17 (fourteen years ago)
nice post dude

well then he sure made a big deal out of something that didn't bother him at all
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 August 2011 21:18 (fourteen years ago)
i'm not offended by the word "fuck" but i would take a big issue with someone who repeated it 50 times in public
― frogbs, Monday, 8 August 2011 21:19 (fourteen years ago)
you...i just don't think this is the messageboard for you, young man

if you took to the internet in any fashion to complain about someone saying "fuck" a bunch of times in public, you'd really have to get over yourself -- steve albini probably should get over himself, but at least odd future are public figures
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 August 2011 21:21 (fourteen years ago)
albini likes his misanthropy and grody behavior contained in 3-5 mins of recording that he does on $40k analog equipment
― 5ish finkel (goole), Monday, 8 August 2011 21:25 (fourteen years ago)
albini rant seems fairly reasonable to me, bus ride sounds pretty unpleasant

Albini is in his third or fourth decade of receiving this feedback.

I'm p sure chillwave is responsible for the current economic malaise and afaik, neither OF or Albini are chillwave.

the subtext of the "n*ggering" thing in albini's rant is that he feels he is above black kids who use the n-word a lot

― dutty whiney (The Reverend), Monday, 8 August 2011 22:21 (fourteen years ago)
he also must be aware that on a first read through, even if just for just a second, it sounds like he's using the verb to describe odd future's entire way of behaving, not just their uttering the word--which, you know, when taken out of context as above looks incredibly shitty.

Xpost iirc it's not the job of middle class Midwestern white people to make that distinction. And also some pretty brilliant people say the n-word alot?

hmmm. i wonder about the subtext of a post steve albini made on the internet. could it be racist? should we ban his internet accounts?
― frogbs, Monday, 8 August 2011 22:32 (fourteen years ago)
if youre honestly expecting the man who gave us "jordan, minnesota" and rapeman to give a shit how he looks in the eyes of, well, anyone then O_o.
― king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 8 August 2011 22:33 (fourteen years ago)
the idea of odd future being too real for even steve albini is pretty funny tho
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 August 2011 22:34 (fourteen years ago)
hey guys frogbs is still going, can we all pay him lots and lots of attention?
