Talking about the state of the music “industry” seems to be a go-to topic nowadays. Steve Albini and now No Age.

Choice Quote: Dean: “Sometimes I like the idea of playing a house to 10 people but I like playing big places too, it just depends.

Commentary By Steve Albini In GQ

Quote of the Week:
“I hope GQ as a magazine fails. I hope that all of these people who make a living by looking pretty are eventually made destitute or forced to do something of substance. At least pornography has a function.”

Secondary Quote:
“People put stuff on YouTube or torrent clients or whatever, not because they’re going to make money off of it, which is the only reason the mainstream industry would do something, but because they think it’s good. It’s a like a worldwide mix tape.”

My Take: It’s like Hustler interviewing Noam Chomsky!
