I've heard them before and I did not like what I heard. I'm cool guys, I swear.

EDIT: Didn't think I'd have to defend my street cred a decade into knowing you assh*les.

Stanning Inside Llewyn Davis already puts you firmly in that category tbh.

But yes you are cool guys, I agree.

I really think you are missing how brilliant that film is.

See what I mean?

You have inferior taste in film. Yes, I see what you mean.

Your street cred is intact, no need to worry.

You can't fool me, Exo. I know this whole jazz thing you're doing is only a few years old.

Lungs by Big Black

Recorded in 81 when Albini was 19 this extended play immediately showcases his signature sound of piercing high pitched extremely direct guitar playing and bravado drenched vocals. Even though it’s obviously deeply influenced by Johnny Ramone and Iggy Pop it’s also entirely unique. Recorded on a teac 3340 reel to reel, perhaps in his dorm room at Northwestern, Albini created this unassailable masterpiece on his own without his future Big Black bandmates. A true DIY triumph.
