with the passing of Steve Albini some 7 days ago, you'd think I would have more than enough time to prepare an appropriate tribute program and that was what I reckoned, as well. That is until, my plans to play Sockeye's "Steve Albini Fucked Pac Man" 50 times in a row sans commentary were scuttled by Sockeye's representatives. It seems the most consecutive plays of the song in question they would allow is 40 and I'm sorry, but I'm not the sort of person to compromise.

So I cobbled something else together. Chances are there's two sides to this story (not the one about Sockeye lowering the boom, the one about Pac Mac) but that's why there are so many other radio programs doing a dedicated and deserved look-back.
 
Also, I picked out songs by Crain and Jack O' Nuts that didn't make it here because I was so distracted by the DM's from Sockeye's lawyer.   I could say, "tune in next time", but there won't be a next episode like this one so just pretend you're listening to Crain during whatever 3-4 minute portion you dislike the most (perhaps the parts where I'm talking)
