Quick Shellac question

Yes.

During the bit that goes "do you get the same jokes as me, do you get the jokes the same as me" I can hear another voice very quietly which is presumably Steve singing along, a long way from any microphone.

I have no clue.

I do know that Rye Coalition impressed me more than Shellac when they played together at theBlack Cat in DC a month or so ago. Then again, every time Rye Coalition opens for anyone around here, I usually just watch them, and after that I've already been rocked to the max, so it's kinda pointless to stick around and watch Mr. Albini be super-angular-speaker-damage guy.

we've become everything we once hated.

yeah but didn't we deserve a look at you.. er.. forget it.

I once saw Shellac play a show on the 3rd floor of some warehouse in Baltimore & am pretty sure my hearing has been damaged ever since. thank you, steve albini !

When Shellac played in L.A. at the Knitting Factory almost two years, I remember thinking it was one of the quietest rock shows I ever attended. The mix was well done and everything, but I remember expecting to be blasted, and wasn't at all. Well that and Bob being heckled by a lot of people whose recording walkmans he confiscated before the show.
