Very sad. Never a huge fan of his own bands (although Big Black produced a couple of pretty good albums), but his work on other bands’ records was exceptional. The Breeders’ Pod, Rid of Me by PJ Harvey, Seamonsters by The Wedding Present, Nirvana’s In Utero…genius.

Definitely The Wedding Present’s best by some stretch; one of my favourite albums.
I’ve heard good things about the Jarvis solo records. Must give them a listen.

So very, very sad. The guy was involved in so many of my favourite records and bands growing up; Pixies, Slint, Nirvana, PJ, Will Oldham, Joanna Newsom, Godspeed! YBE, Jesus Lizard.. The list goes on. And the best of his own bands, Shellac, whose 1000 Hurts is still among my favourites.
What a loss to the music world
His letter to Nirvana when they were discussing the possibility of him recording In Utero sums up his unique attitude perfectly:

It’s a great album…but we’ll have to agree to differ on that one!
(It does have their best album cover though.)

His Poe adaptations from the early 60s (Fall of the House of Usher, Masque of the Red Death etc) are fantastic

My mate was writing some stuff for the Wedding Present fan club and phoned up Albini from a number he obtained on the internet. Apparently he answered, and obliged with an impromptu interview!

Nice. I went to Uni in Leeds and a friend rented a house on Brudenell Road which had writing on the wall in biro purportedly written by David Gedge. I'm 99% sure that was a lie, but it is a nice memory.

That's some brass neck you've got; why are you being so reasonable now?
I'd say they started off with their best and slowly but steadily declined...

But I was pleasantly surprised by their more recent efforts; featuring Louise Wener off of Sleeper
I'll stop spamming the death thread now.

Oh that is sad.
What a courageous and inspirational man.
Such a young age and such a terrible illness. Tough for his family and friends, and of course Kevin Sinfield in particular springs to mind.
RIP.

Did not know him before he was diagnosed as its not my sport, did huge amount to bring awareness to a disgusting disease.

"Earlier this year, Burrow and Sinfield contributed to a picture book which told the story of a friendship between two young boys named Rob and Kev"
Got to reading this bit of the BBC report out to my missus and completely broke down. As someone living in Leeds, I am desperately sad at the death of such an amazing human being and legend. I am also feeling the pain of of his family and brother Kevin. Leeds will turn out to honour you Rob. RiP. XXXXXX

Nice. So did I !
Lived just off Brudenell Road - never went to the social club - didn’t even know it was there!
