Shellac easily have a high enough profile for its members not to have to work 9-5.
rather than through a regular day job? Albini's had this weird hard-on for some idealised blue-collar bullshit from the beginning. He should fuck off and become a miner and stop ruining Stooges albums.
Very funny but he might be onto something. The reason 'labour' has been around so long and rock was better in the past i
s because their is a co- relation between rocking out and doing shitty work. Each other compliment each other. It also helps the brain work different parts of it, you come back more refreshed.
I scoff at blue collar shit just as much as you do but I do there is a spirit or an edge that comes with people who are giving it there all in all parts of your life.
Its kind like when people fast, when you do, it makes you feel better after. It has spiritual properties.
