Steven Hyden discusses his excellent new book, There Was Nothing You Could Do: Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ and the End of the Heartland, the state of music and cultural criticism, how film critics have long had more cachet than music critics, the various and confusing ambiguities in the work and life of an American like Bruce Springsteen, how the Boss rejected his most successful album and got lost in the 1990s just as Nirvana were rejecting their own most successful album, why Springsteen’s narrative voice became more inward, why he and America were never the same after Born in the U.S.A., a fascinating alternate history of Bruce events, Steven’s tour dates, other future plans, and much more.

After almost 20 years of conversations, my final talk with Steve Albini took place on April 23, 2024. Steve died suddenly on May 7. This chat was about the new Shellac album, To All Trains, and Steve told me about every song, though I hadn't yet heard the album. Preparing this episode was sad and surreal; it felt like Steve was still here. The interview itself appears at roughly the 45:00 mark,...

      That feels like a uniquely North American experience, with mostly Americans having that nostalgia for the 90s being supposedly carefree and stuff like that. It's probably only because the US wasn't affected directly by much of that was going on in the rest of the world, like for example my country in the 90s was JUST starting get up from being under an almost 20 year long dictatorship lol, so it wasn't all rosey for most people back then.

    A quick note: To my ears, it's "Horizontal Hold", not "24-Track Loop", at the end of "Wrong Soundings" at that Atlanta show. However, no guitars--just drums and organs. So it's status as a "cover" might fall entirely upon the ear of the beholder. It's a bit like getting an unlabeled Alice Coltrane tape and being uncertain as to whether or not she's playing "My Favorite Things." Perhaps.

    Damn. So sad. Not really sure why this man's music meant so much to me. Caught Shellac 13 times, since May, 1998. Last time, Oct., 2022. Humble, down to earth, super nice to his fans. Just the fact they sold their own merch, at the stage, after the show, was incredible. So bummed he's gone. RIP, Steve Albini. You will be missed.🤘

    I used to be a scrapper myself growing up. Me and my dad would go out on garbage nights and drive through the neighborhoods searching through peoples trash for scrap metal then we would take it all to the recycling center every Saturday morning. It wasn't a full time job or anything and we didn't have boards on the side of our pickup trucks like some of the other more serious guys but we would see them driving through the neighborhoods from time to time. One night in particular there was a guy with a huge wire cage wrapped around the bed of his truck that was filled to the brim with all sorts of scrap metal. It was definitely a sight to behold. Washing machines, Bikes, all sorts of stuff. I love that Steve referred to them as sculptures because i've never really thought of them that way. Just a bunch of trash. I appreciate Albini showing respect to all the scrappers out there and I love the story of the little girl wanting to start scrapping with her dad. Reminds me of scrapping with my dad when I was younger though we just called it recycling. We stopped doing it because the pay became pretty pitiful sadly. I can't wait to hear the album and that song especially. Still waiting on the record to come in the mail. Also can't wait to see the album cover. I haven't been to Union Station since I was a kid. I used to go to Illinois often to visit family since that is where both of my parents grew up.
