yes but he's also known these days as Frank Black innit

[Pogle]

Oh thats reminded me about Big Black (- who have nothing to do with the Pixes,) but who released the great album "Songs about *******" - not one to be on display when the vicar comes to tea.

Oh - must go and see if I can get it on CD

[Foxy Moron]

Nothing to do in this town... Kerosine, burn it all down

Or something like that

[Pogle]

Oh there is a link between Big Black & The Pixies

"Steve Albini went on to become a successful recording engineer (he dislikes the term "producer") for bands including Pixies"

But "Songs about F***cking" was released in 1987 - I now feel very old indeed

[Foxy Moron]

Yes he produced Nivana's last album. He had another band Shalok or something like that.

Aren't Goblins the people who made the Teasmade?

Yes he produced Nivana's last album. He had another band Shalok or something like that.

I never really liked Nivana - but The Foo Fighters - now they are good.

Ghosts MUST exist otherwise this would be a huge waste of £4,500 of taxpayers money.

That's like saying I never really liked Simon, but Garfunkel was good.
