He's alleged to have walked back some of his edgelord persona in his later years

I don’t like that he trashed Nevermind or called the Pixies “blandly entertaining college-rock” or whatever it is he said, but I did like his rants about CDs and my favorite moment of his was at the end of his essay about Slint where he said “In ten years you’ll lie like the cocksucker you are and pretend you saw them live. Ten fucking stars.”

The best Big Black song was “Bazooka Joe.”

A copy of Jethro Tull’s Heavy Horses can be spotted on the CD cover of The Rich Man’s Eight Track Tape.
