Fashion is Repulsive, and Other Albini-cisms
Mr Albini, your thoughts on the recording industry might be antiquated, but these witticisms will ring true forever:
“I don’t rate movies as an art form.”
“The same thing happened with the Internet—people said access to music on the Internet was going to kill the music industry. What it killed was the record industry.”
And my absolute favorite:
“I think fashion is repulsive. The whole idea that someone else can make clothing that is supposed to be in style and make other people look good is ridiculous. It sickens me to think that there is an industry that plays to the low self-esteem of the general public. I would like the fashion industry to collapse. I think it plays to the most superficial, most insecure parts of human nature.”
Here’s the interview.
