Hell yeah, I love Big Black, I have Rich Man's 8-track
(Atomzer and an ep) plus "Songs". Atomizer is definately my
favorite. Very good stuff. Kerosine, Jordan, Minnesota,
Fists of Love. Bazooka Joe, (a vietnam vet who becomes a
hitman). I've read a lot about this band, very interesting.
I think they had a lot to do with Ministry's becoming harder
edged. And Steve Albini is an awesome producer. I use and
endorse the fibrelife meatloaf diet plan.

If you like big black, here's a band that haven't been
around for two long called "The Blood Brothers"they've put
out a cd:Burn! Piano Island! Burn! , that I think is the best pig fuck
musicI've heard in a loooong time.

unfortunately no.
i LOVED the first couple singles the put out, and "at action
park" is a classic... liked terraform a good bit, too
(though the first track is a skipper)

caballero purchase away from a cd to a shirt)

slint: snotty means, um... someone who kinda acts like he's
too cool to acknowledge people, thinks he's better than
everyone else... arrogant. we say "he's acting snotty" like
a spoiled rich kid.

as far as seeing them live... good luck. they broke up right
in the middle of the american don tour.

for some pre-jesus lizard stuff, featuring the same people,
try out Scratch Acid... I picked up the Greatest Gift by
them, which compiles their entire discography, plus some
unreleased track on one cd... got it used for 6 bucks

so from what I understand, albini is in shellac? wtf? I
always thought he quit doing music after big black and all
that older stuff. i thought he only was producing stuff
afterwords. someone explain this to me.
