How could we have missed out on Muppets Tonight, Brian Henson’s short-lived attempt (1996-97) to revive his dad’s Muppet Show magic on American prime time? The fragments (fraggles?) left behind on YouTube reveal an adventurous program of Rock Snobbish bent, with Kermit “doing” David Byrne, and “Nine Inch Snails” performing some woozily convincing industrial rock.

Albini, Steve. Self-consciously difficult Chicago-based record producer who chafes at being called a producer, insisting that he merely “records” bands; best known for having produced—er, recorded—Nirvana’s studio swan song, In Utero, and for issuing snarky comments to the press when some of the album’s uncompromisingly raw songs were later remixed by other producers. Albini, who pushes the bounds of hard-rock iconoclasm by wearing glasses and having short hair, enhanced his outsider cred by playing guitar in the not-very-good hardcore bands Big Black, Rapeman, and Shellac. Man, that drum sound is a monster! No one knows mic placement like Albini.
