HGB also covered this - somehow much better in a strong Scottish accent and accompanied by smallpipes and electronics.

Pretty great rendition of this one.

The most fun (musically) I have had in years has been the last few days between Kendrick Lamar and Drake:

What!?!?

[Matt]

If I were to list my favorite albums of all time the majority would have been produced by him. Shellac was supposed to tour this year.

sad news. RIP Steve Albini

[popvulture]

I am so fucking sad about this. Luckily I got to see Shellac a couple times. First was when I was a freshman in college in Baltimore — saw them at the Copycat warehouse with Blond Redhead. @Matt were you at that one?

[Matt]

I wasn’t but I loved the Copycat building. I’ve actually never seen him live. I’ve seen plenty of his acolytes live though. He’ll be missed.

In other “news” I just saw this headline on NPR and I’m ashamed…

[popvulture]

Hahahaha I am SO BORED with how much news coverage this shit has been getting.

[scooter]

Who are Drake and Kendrick Lamar ?

[Matt]

Honest question.

Just to be clear, my question regarding Drake and Mr. Lamar was meant figuratively. I know who they are. I really don't give a fuck, is all. I mean, who are they, really ? Their "beef" means absolutely zero, when compared to the rest of the world's ills. Big picture, they are part of the problem...

Edit: This should really be in random rants. But, it is what it is...

[mclaincausey]

Don’t know much about Drake. Doubt I’d like his music and definitely seems like a creep and a shitty person.

I do like Kendrick Lamar though.

Re: Albini… he did an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit that is quite interesting:

@GraemeE damn. Was just logging in to post this.

R.I.P. Steve Albini
Some of the greatest albums of my angst laden youth were thanks to him.

One skipped, one bought and one rediscovered in the record shop today.
