Dammmmn, TWIABPAIANLATD (I can't be bothered to type out the whole fucking band name) totally beat me to the punch of bringing these stickers back to go on albums.
I'm still going to do it anyway, if I ever get to the point of releasing something.
I found out my course is going to be 4 days a week, which I'm pretty okay with.
And I also managed to pick up those albums I said I would (King Tuff's Black Moon Spell, J Mascis' Tied To A Star, and Shellac's Dude Incredible) which was pretty hype. As well as not one, but two Killdozer albums, 'Intellectuals Are The Shoeshine Boys Of The Ruling Elite' and 'Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat'.
They are sludgy, loud, grinding, and hilarious.
Huh, guess not a lot this time.
Dunno man, me, I like Atomizer and Songs About Fucking probably about the same...
Sonic Youth's Master=Dik also had that sticker.

I really like Bad Penny and L Dopa, but I agree with you on Kashmir S. Pulaski Day, plus I don't really like Tiny, King Of The Jews.
What I think it boils down to, is that I like every song on Atomizer, and not every song on Songs About Fucking, but the ones I like on Songs About Fucking, I like more, if that makes any sense.
2503829 I dunno, Songs About Fucking was how I got into Big Black
2503844 Also I love Bad Penny and L Dopa, hell, Bad Penny was the first Big Black song I ever heard. Plus the covers of He's a Whore and The Model are really good.
Plus, by far the funniest thing Big Black has ever done with packaging are the liner notes to The Poor Man's 8-Track Tape (It's Atomizer, Headache and Heartbeat in one CD, but Albini was not a big fan of the compact disc as a medium):
YOU PUSSIES CAN ALL SUCK OUR COCKS
This compact disc, compiled to exploit those of you gullible enough to own the bastardly first generation digital music system, contains all-analog masters. Compact discs are quite durable, this being their only advantage over real music media. You should take every opportunity to scratch them, fingerprint them, and eat egg and bacon sandwiches off them. Don't worry about their longevity, as Philips will pronounce them obsolete when the next phase of the market-squeezing technology bonanza begins.
And on the CD itself:
When in five years, this remarkable achievment in the advancement of fidelity is obsolete and unplayable on any "modern" equipment, remember, in 1971, the 8-track tape was the state of the art.

All Big Black liner notes are great, I'm looking at the ones for Bulldozer right now.
