An A to Z dedicated to Steve Albini

...and a shout out to my aunt Violet!

A modest man of rare principle - he refused to take credits on Nirvana's In Utero, passing up millions, as he didn't belive producers should get royalties - the overused term musical giant truly does fit in this case. He was set to tour with a new Shellac album (the new single is included today). On a different tack ... a very happy birthday (in a few days time) to my aunt Violet! The music mix is varied as ever, spanning the genres and eras ... and the Jesus Lizard...
