Sorry for drifting a little further ... I guess Delvin:Albini::Reno:Lucinda Williams.

However, some of his other production jobs sound phenomenal and fit the music just right (Surfer Rosa and the first Breeders album come to mind).

Walking back to the car after the show, I stopped in a record store and bought a copy of the new CD. I listened to it once, and said, "Oh well ..."

Of course, I should've known better than to trust any album Steve Albini is associated with. (There's a reason Albini eschews the term "producer" for himself, but he'll never admit what that reason really is.)

I saw the Stooges do a 4-song set for KEXP that consisted entirely of The Weirdness songs. I agree that the album wasn't all that great, but I have to admit: those songs really came alive onstage. Maybe they should have recorded them live in front of an audience.

Sadly, that was the only time I ever saw the Stooges play.

Too bad The Weirdness was such a weak album and too bad I didn't catch them on that tour. Damn - maybe they'll drag Williamson out of retirement and do it again (he is still alive, isn't he?).]]> rhettlawrence Trouser Press Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:29:25 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18215#msg-18215 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18215#msg-18215 nice article, written by Mike Watt for the LA Times.]]> MrFab Trouser Press Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:55:54 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18214#msg-18214 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18214#msg-18214 Asheton

Actually, both the Ramones and the Clash were inducted in their respective first years of eligibility, if I'm not mistaken. Still sad, though, that Joey and Joe couldn't make it to the ceremonies.

I'm just grateful I got to see the Stooges last year. Ron was in top form that night.]]> Delvin Trouser Press Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:44:48 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18192#msg-18192 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18192#msg-18192
For what it's worth, the Stooges will probably now finally get in the R&R Hall of Fame. It took Sterling dying before they finally decided the Velvets were worthy.]]> breno Trouser Press Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:35:41 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18191#msg-18191 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18190,18191#msg-18191
