RIP Steve and RIP Jason.

I am SO GLAD this video got in my recommended. Jason Molina is one of my favorite musicians

[@betteryetpod]

we're glad you found us!

[@ridin_solo]

Such a unique, talented person

[@davidwilkey7389]

And Steve Albini is one of mine

[@christiangasior4244]

He writes amazing lyrics and had a good voice, but the actual melodies just don’t match up, usually. Even the Dark Won’t Hide it, Farewell Transmission, and Just Be Simple are among his best songs sonically, and even they pale in comparison to other dark lords like Mark Linkous, Elliott Smith, early Iron and Wine, early Sun Kil Moon, Mazzy Star, etc. He is more like Vic Chesnutt in that it’s 90 percent about the lyrics and the way he delivers them, save a few tracks like “Supernatural”, “Gravity of the Situation”, and “Flirted with You All My Life”.

[@christiangasior4244]

Not a fan of Albini’s production either. Butch Vig, Gil Norton, and Dave Fridmann are more up my alley.

"His delivery, his choice of words, the imagery in his songs-all of it was unique to him." The Jason Molina Cinematic Universe.

[@evansgate]

As a musician Jason has a quality to him that I can't quite describe in words... happy his bandmate did so

[@czechpirc3212]

So rare Steve compliments an artist he has worked with so this speaks volumes to say the least, thx for the post

[@1985cactus]

That's not rare

[@czechpirc3212]

@@1985cactus Contrarian in every bunch, how often is he ever this effusive of someones talent that he is worked with? I said its rare , not that its never happened but feel free to post examples

[@1985cactus]

@@czechpirc3212 It's quite often actually. A lot of his favorite bands and musicians are the ones that he recorded.

[@evansgate]

what examples do you have of him not complimenting an artist? gotta try to be fair here

[@tchoupitoulos]

He's mellowed a lot over the years. You know, like everybody.

[@MarcWebbFilm]

Albini hanging out with a fat old pug is a beautiful sight.

[@hazysativa3045]

Puggle

[@markriffey8899]

It is heartbreaking that he died so young.

[@donniebobb74]

I met Jason at a daytrotter session immediately prior to a Trashcan Sinatras session. We had a beer and talked Neko Case because he kept a laminated photo of her in his wallet (and I love her too) asking if we could "make him sound like that". I loved that! I had no idea he was who he was until after seeing the TS set and I'll never forget that day, true magic.

[@gardyminshew3724]

"He had a way with words that made you imagine that the words meant more than they actually did" on the money.

[@explanationmark_]

I was recommended this video on the ten year anniversary of Jason's death. RIP

[@sjaw10]

Godspeed to the spirit of the homie Jason Molina!!

[@letmegoletmego]

He did have a beautiful voice.

[@itsgonnbeok7249]

It makes sense Albini feels he was insulated from the drinking because Jason kept it straight around Albini, as he had a lot of respect for him

[@nathanburnsacupunctureandm6459]

I don't think it was a real problem at this time, the decline began around the Sojourner release I believe.

[@marklisnyy7398]

Hits different now man. rip legends

[@marca4443]

Now we miss them both

[@switch1e]

I immediately was reminded of this video when I heard the news. Steve Albini was and is a legend. It's a shame that people only define him by his history as a bit of a provocateur because he was always incredibly thoughtful and took his work super seriously. RIP

[@koth_harvest_final]

both are gone, about to cry man

Great . The old chubby Pug makes this video even better.

[@dominicparker-tc7sb]

I like some of his stuff now but when I first heard him I'd already got I to his contemporaries - Oldham, callahan, berman and just found him a bit of an also ran hearing him. Just thought he was will oldham wth no outside ideas and not as identifiable. Over time I've warmed to his stuff although I do still think alot of it seems to be made to be part of the scene rather than coming from a truly unique, one off place. He seems like he was a big palace fan and wanted to be like that, very referential of a loose group of artists. Ghost tropic is the one for me, he sounds like he's playing in the dark in the jungle.

[@tct84]

"Like some of his stuff now" as you group him in with comparative duds who aren't even in the same dimension as him🙄

[@iampoweredup]

I like the song Farewell Transmission and frankly thought everything else was sad bastard bullshit for whiny dipshits.

[@stephaniegarfield29142]

@@tct84they’re in the same dimension… this guy just has a really stupid and convoluted point to make, and no one in real life could possibly care, so let him spew it on youtube.
