I've just been listening to them recently - I'm impressed, I have to say.

for good reason.

ie they are excllent?

most definately.

The live performances on bootlegs are especially good, I think.

Never heard any. I have seen a couple of live videos. They seem like a good show. he (mostly?) plays gtr with a finger, not a pick or finger picking, just the index finger. i guess it sounds softer...

The Dom very kindly put a few in the bootlegs/share thread - they are excellent. I've tried to rep him, but it won't let me yet.

Many many thanks, The Dom.

I saw them live but they only played 10 minutes...
The 10 minutes were nice though.

Hey, no problem! always glad to share some cool music.

I have another thing called Living In A Word that is like a compilation of live material and unreleased/bonus tracks. There's 3 parts to it and if you would like me to upload it for you, I'd be glad to.

It was put up on the old board, so you might have it already.

the big black album, songs about fucking. it's awesome.

dom- you rule for putting up the ac bootlegs.

I never got into Big Black or any other Albini project. Their are some pretty cool Big Black songs but I get kind of bored with them after a while.

I like big black but the quality of the songs on "songs about fucking" is really lame. Bad penny rocks though

i just really like it when i'm in certain moods. right now i feel sort of nihilistic.. so the album works for me.

I've been listening to Radiohead alot the last 2 months (which is taking way too long)

And yeah I had my first schoolday today...
School started again here and I'm depressed...

I haven't heard much Big Black. 1000 Hurts (shellac obviously) is soo good though.

The first day does always kinda suck. Nothing happens.

I never really liked Radiohead, but I've been getting into them now.

1000 Hurts is awesome.

shellac are awesome on many levels.
so are you guys,tonight i am happy,yayyy,coz i have some money to buy a digital 4-track,i still do not know which one to buy,uuuh.
schizo,take this : you feel nihilistic? "Ah. Must be exhausting".
