It wasn’t getting any use, really.” Azerrad, Michael (2001). Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981–1991. New York: Little, Brown and Company. p.314.

It’s a typically fiery rebuke against the march of digital progress from the band’s ever-outspoken frontman, Steve Albini. Looked upon with the 20-20 lens of hindsight, it’s easy to take the statement for granted: we’ve heard Albini go on to openly dissect The Problem with Music with fervour and aplomb; we’ve seen the ongoing push of digitalisation provide more than its fair share of evolutionary dead-ends; we’ve watched as the rise of the MP3 begat the ascent of playlist culture and as the doomsayers announced the resultant death of the album as a format. Larkin, Colin (2011). The Encyclopedia of Popular Music (5th conciseed.). Omnibus Press. ISBN 978-0-85712-595-8. Albini’s notoriety grew exponentially in the 1990s, though much of it had nothing to do with his music. He worked on a handful of epochal releases in the late 1980s, including Pixies’ 1988 album Surfer Rosa and Slint’s 1989 debut Tweez, but it was his credits on Nirvana’s 1993 swan song In Utero that launched him into the upper atmosphere of in-demand producers. From that platform, he wrote an instantly legendary article for alternative magazine The Baffler that warned of the dangers of signing to a major label, just as the majors were in the midst of snatching up almost every indie band they could find. a b c d e Azerrad, Michael (2001).

ISBN 0-316-78753-1.It meant nothing to us if we were popular or not, or if we sold either a million or no records, so we were invulnerable to ploys by music scene weasels to get us to make mistakes in the name of success. To us, every moment we remained unfettered and in control was a success. We never had a manager. We never had a booking agent. We never had a lawyer. We never took an advance from a record company. We booked our own tours, paid our own bills, made our own mistakes and never had anybody shield us from either the truth or the consequences. The results of that methodology speak for themselves: Nobody ever told us what to do, and nobody took any of our money.
