Steve Albini was an icon to many people, and his work and life was often synonymous with Chicago, the city he called home in his adult life — where he began recording musicians, built his Electrical Audio studio, and established his own bands Big Black, Rapeman, and Shellac, all of whom released material on Chicago-based Touch and Go Records. Corey Rusk, owner of the renown indie label, wrote a tribute to his friend of 40 years following Albini’s untimely death at the age of 61 on Tuesday.

Jimmy Page paid tribute to the late Steve Albini, who served as recording engineer and mixer for the 1998 album, Walking into Clarksdale, a collaboration between Page and his former Led Zeppelin bandmate, Robert Plant.
“I was very sad to hear of Steve Albini’s passing this week,” Page wrote in an Instagram post. “Robert and I worked with him in 1997 on our album, Walking Into Clarksdale — a record I’m still really proud of.
“I had a strong connection with Steve, we all did on that album, and he came...

Big Black guitarist Santiago Durango remembered his bandmate Steve Albini as a “caring and giving person” whose sudden death earlier this week “has left a huge hole in my life.”
In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, Durango said the news of Albini’s death from a heart attack at the age of 61 was a “total gut punch.” He was “too young,” Durango continued. “I always believed Steve would outlive me. It makes me happy to know Steve lived a full life doing what he wanted to do.”

In six short years, Big Black pushed underground rock to become edgier, more stomach-churning, and more pyrotechnic. On the handful of EPs and two full-lengths, Atomizer and Songs About Fucking, they released, Steve Albini, who died Tuesday, wrote about everything from child abuse to murderous gangsters and always with a wink as if shining a dark mirror back at buttoned-up middle America. But by 1987, the group — which included guitarist Santiago Durango, bassist Dave Riley, and a drum machine called Roland — decided it had accomplished its mission. So they booked a...

He might have participated in an impromptu game of Boar on the Floor, but the animal that "Succession" character Greg Hirsch seems most closely aligned with is a dog. When we first meet the hapless cousin of the Roy dynasty, he's even dressed as a dog — Waystar Royco's popular children's character, Doderick — as part of a management training program at one of Waystar's theme parks.
When that excursion ends with Greg getting mobbed by kids and puking out of Doderick's eyes, he goes to New York City to beg for a job from his Uncle Logan. There, the dog comparisons continue; Shiv refers to him as a "rescue pup," and after Logan has a stroke, Marcia gets rid of a hovering Greg by asking him to fetch his uncle's slippers. Hell, Greg even uses dog poop bags (not pre-pooped) to pilfer free food.
