Ask a music scene micro celebrity

[pointfive]

First to the 2+2 folks upon whose turf I reluctantly tread: thanks for tolerating us slobbering fanboys/girls as we clamber to pick Mr. Albini's cortex. You've been most gracious.

A quick question or two for you, Steve: during your many years in the music business, I'm sure you've been made countless offers that would require you to compromise your values in order to accept. Have there been any you were particularly tempted by? Were there any you seriously considered accepting? (Or did accept?) Share as many details as you like.

And thanks for your well-crafted and clearly expressed sentiments about the music industry, both within this thread and outside of it. You're an inspiration, and it's great to not have to learn a lot of what you talk about the hard way. Not to mention, as a musician you've helped me to remain focused on what's important rather than the nonsense I "should" be trying to "accomplish".
