"Albini the dues ex machina"

Does that mean that Steve collects dues out of a machine?

What sort of club is it? How much are the dues? Can I join or is it a restricted membership?

Songs About Fucking was Iain Burgess too.

This list was written by someone who owns a few records recorded by Steve Albini and recently found out about allmusic.com.

Producer.

Kinda silly how the one contributor treats Surfer Rosa not as if it were a Pixies album, but Steve's statement. His opus, apparently:

Rank!

Stuff I don't have much of an opinion of:

11. Jesus Lizard :: Liar (1992)
01. The Pixies :: Surfer Rosa (1988)

Have heard but can't remember anything about

15. Giddy Motors :: Make it Pop! (2002)
12. Songs: Ohia :: Magnolia Electric Co. (2003)

Maybe the guy can put this on his Pitchfork resume.

Both are well worth revisiting.

He produces records like a chicken produces eggs

Chickens engineer eggs?
