Fair enough. But Albini is from Montana and "the (ugly) singer of Articles of Faith" is from Florida. In fact, "the (ugly) singer of Articles of Faith" is peripatetic and a bit of a carpetbagger, having stayed in Chicago just long enough to start a band, turn it into a hardcore band, and pick a fight with Albini before peeling out for a job with Microsoft. Speaking scientifically, it might be more accurate to say that Chicago attracts ugly people, in the way that Los Angeles attracts beautiful people and Las Vegas attracts hookers. Ugly. Fair enough.

It's not near as complete as you would think because of it, there were several people, zines, bands excluded due to the politics of it. Just off-hand, Skafish, the Gabba Gabba Gazette, Your Country Needs You (YOU)... There's a lot excluded and the story is slanted to a particular perspective. To be honest... we had our fun, but overall it was a cliquish and bullshit scene. I know because... I was there.
