Steve Albini's letter to Nirvana

Well, then. That’s definitely one for the record books.

You have to admit, though, that trying to sell Nirvana on your services by mentioning having done the last Fugazi album is smart. They have similar aesthetics and work ethics and Dave was very nearly in Fugazi.

It’s worth noting, though, that the album he’s referencing here is In On the Kill Taker, which, while brilliant, was recorded shortly after this as Fugazi wasn’t happy with how it came out in the first recording session.
