In a glorious rant, that is as hilarious as it is punk, Steve Albini – legendary producer and engineer for Nirvana, The Pixies, Breeders, PJ Harvey, Manic Street Preachers, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page… well you get it, his career is incredible – late night Twitter raged at the god fathers of easy listening and elevator music, Steely Dan.

Describing himself as “the kind of punk that shits on Steely Dan”, Albini goes on to compare “the Dan” to “an SNL band warm up”. He also criticises producers who worked with them, repeatedly calling for re-takes, rather than let the musicians take credit for their art.

Punks celebrate Albini’s words; Dan Fans cry at their choice of wedding song; and as the numbers, love and bickering increases, Albini wisely uses the moment to share an auction for a Gibson Hummingbird, signed no-less by Dave Grohl, to raise money for families in poverty.

Easily the best thing to have been posted on Twitter in 2023 so far. And to bid on that guitar visit: https://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/auction-gibson-hummingbird-signed-by-dave-grohl-2607400
