Stereogum — Wednesday, after news of Steve Albini’s death broke, the social accounts for Nirvana, the legendary recording engineer’s most famous client, recirculated the letter Albini wrote the band in late 1992, when they were considering hiring him to record 1993’s In Utero . That’s the one where Albini famously rejected producer royalties, writing, “I would like to be paid like a plumber: I do the job and you pay me what it’s worth.” Other than that tribute, the surviving members of Nirvana had yet to comment on Albini’s death until Thursday night. more info
