Well, we lost a real one. The sudden death of legendary producer, musician and creative force Steve Albini rocked that alternative world. We at BPM put together a collection of our favourite songs that he’s written and worked on - dive into that here.

I wrote about Big Black’s “L Dopa”, Songs: Ohia’s “John Henry Split My Heart” and Shellac’s “Prayer to God”.
