lame response, because as pretentious as Steve can be, his comments on SY were not that off-base

sure that may be correct but its also coming from Albini who is arguably the most opinionated person in the indie rock world. its all opinion and no one is more right or wrong than the next person. so what gives?

it wasn't that SY was on a major that Albini criticised, it was the way SY went around practically recruiting for Geffen, which I agree, was in rather poor taste, and if SY was sooo cool with a major, why'd they go to Matador, the precise label that Albini suggested they go with in the 90s in the first place?

i see your point but you don't know how each of the 4 members was feeling or dealing with the situation they were in in circa 1988-89 its well noted how unhappy they were with Homestead and SST and then the way things shook down w/ Enigma/Blast First for Daydream... I guess it was all about timing and w/ DGC it all felt right for them, i have no quams with what they did its not really my problem nor anyone elses to say the least.

however the recruitment thing they did in the early 90's was kinda weird but it doesn't bother me, with bands like Cell and Gumball whom didn't really belong on major labels.

Albini seems to just loves to say stuff to cause a rouse yet it also seems to conflict with the "ethics" he preaches.

There are definitely a whole lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That could be a great level to bring up. I provide the ideas above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up where an important factor can be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, however I'm certain that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game. Each girls and boys really feel the affect of just a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

I know I've read this before, but for some reason I just laughed my ass off reading this again.

I mean, what are the yrics? I don't recall much happening in that song, it's probably the worst on two nuns and a pack mule... and I've skipped it on every listen of that album in the past 10 years.

Making a living doing something that makes you happy is "sellin' out", I guess?

These issues never really meant anything to me. SY continued to make great music after signing to a major (though I don't like Dirty at all). I mean, an album like 1000 Leaves or NYCG&F on a major... is pretty insane, really. They made a good choice with Geffen, who supported them and promoted them pretty heavily imo.
