SHELLAC billard player song 1993

[@frasersimpson442]

“This song is about the minutemen and how much we love them”

[@prangbro]

Remember listening to them play an extended version of this on bbc radio 1 just after John Peel passed and it was so raw and hearfelt. Listening to this now as Steve embarks upon his next journey. RIP.

[@ajajajajajjajajajaj2838]

RIP Steve, this song means a lot to me.

[@EricPerson]

Back when you could hack an mp3 to be your ringtone, I had the opening bars of this for mine.

[@lukerogers151]

Miss you already, Steve

[@brianfoley3007]

Rip Steve this riff and arrangement top tier stuff.

[@stuartmaxwell6772]

he lied to her, with a perfectly straight face RIP Steve. Thank you for being good company.

[@fireforge111]

I met Steve in Dunedin NZ, gave a cheeky sod like me the time of day. Top Man. We saw nearly every gig they played in NZ, we hitchhiked around the country. Thanks Mr Albini.

[@paulbonner6579]

RIP. Thanks for all the years of incredible music Steve. Fuck, this sucks.

[@iisseth11]

One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. Absolutely incredible stuff.

[@TheEpicNintendork]

"With a PERfectly straight face" ALbini's voice crack at the end makes all the difference.

[@XViTNg]

I love how Albini has that Chicago accent - so almost everything he sings sounds sarcastic.

[@Cornyexploited]

Miss you Steve. Thank you for everything

[@sushihill]

The only vinyl I still own. This 7 inch.

[@ФилиппЛарионов-г3л]

who would have thout that albini was also a pioneer of midwest emo

[@jaliilfuller8404]

Dude produced jaw breaker???

[@lovrepetric]

yeah! sounds like a number girl song more than anything else to me

[@Filmbar70]

When this came out, no mudderfrickin' question - Albini had nailed it. Proper. Just amazing - and hey, surprisingly touching! Thanks for uploading - my 7 inch got warped - and that ain't a euphemism!

[@CorpseOnMars]

Goddamn, this is real!

My favorite Shellac song ever. Signed, a Big Black fan.

[@JackoRipper]

Probably mine too.

[@alecjahn]

I haven't ever been a huge Big Black fan. Even some Shellac is iffy for me. But this one...

[@AlvisaMinidoruv]

It's people who've been through what you've been through. And a good cigar. A good cigar now and again.

[@paulbonner6579]

One of my all time favorite songs

[@blackplains4381]

the best song in the world

[@i.tskn7]

it was like an event, he promised her anything he never had to deliver he promised her everything ask yourself if you could do better. he promised her everything she caught on a lot of people say she's crazy, but i know, i know a lot of people and i think, i think she's alright!

[@estriemedia9019]

SHE'S ALLRIGHT!!!!

[@el_spaghetto]

[@marshviper3]

RIP Steve

[@XViTNg]

I love this song and Doris and wing walker. But their full length albums never really hit me the same as when I listen to the first EP songs. There are definitely stand out tracks like Prayer to God. Squirrel song. End of radio etc. and Terraform is probably my favorite of their full lengths in terms of an entire album. But none of them give me the same chills I get from Doris or this song especially

[@lovrepetric]

my thoughts exactly. for me the phenomenon is similar to that one of converge with "dead" and "two day romance", especially when it comes to that live at the masonic temple from 1995. a comment on some such video said "these guys literally invented emo and moved on", as one said on a now gone video of this song. not to say i don't adore the direction converge moved in after that, which isn't the case for shellac, but still, my point is these abnormal findings in otherwise coherent discographies are really worth their weight, length? in gold. i was searching for years where could that number girl guitar sound be coming from, and then stumbled upon billiard player song

[@XViTNg]

@@lovrepetricI acfuslly know what you mean on that. Altho I still love all of converge For me the song “Undo” is like an amazing screamo song by them - and then nothing else quite sounds like it. A totally random. But weird observation also - if you listen to the Jesus Lizard albums Goat and especially Liar. And imagine the songs going about 50-75% faster - they sound like converge in the You Fail Me era lol

[@lovrepetric]

@@XViTNg yeah, absolutely!! kurt ballou admitted on several occasions he'd been aiming to imitate them for a long time, namely "then comes dudley", which is most evident in "hell to pay" and "trigger". i still think "monkey trick" is peak post hardcore, which translates to peak music, up there with "corpse pose". and while we're at it, have you ever noticed that practically the entirety of screamo and the surrounding styles is summed up in that one bridge from "if you had lips", at 1:56? i could name 15 bands this instant that had their sound shaped upon this passage, even though they rather got the influence through some other bands in between the same goes for dinosaur jr's "little fury things" and dsbm and much more

[@mikesilva5085]

Christ ...1993? Timeless... I was 23 when this record came out and I played it to death.

[@BenDodds74]

I used to own this 7". It makes me sad that I don't know what happened to it. This song is classic.

[@jimmyDebaser]

Besides being the greatest album name, the music fukin rips and of course a good cigar now and again.

[@notone4029]

Never heard this one before so glad I found it. Such a good song Albini blew it through the roof with this track!!!
