Ep. #869: Steve Albini
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
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,...

“You don’t want the smoke”
Have you guys cooked Adrocks Mac & Cheese recipe? Change your life.
This is such a gem. We would have never had this insight into his final album if it weren't for the interviewer asking such good questions. Thank you for this!
danny brown : scrap or die : amazing song
What does malkmus want to hurt women? "This slap is a gift because ur cheeks have lost there luster?" Malkmus was looking to kick in that womans head and if you support this band you do too!
there was racism/war/genocide in the nineties too man. “things are worse now than ever” is always a prevailing sentiment but often far from the truth.
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.
Why did david berman hate Palestine so deeply? And why would he mock America? So glad hes gone
😞
I didn’t realize Fred was a Chicago person. I lived in Chicago for years, and had no idea.
Thumbs up yo
Slint>the beatles
great stuff. tx
man how this hurts
gregg is amazing, just such an inspirational guy
I don't know if you realize but your episode tags take you to a general number on UA-cam not the actual episodes.
it's just an automated thing that happens via my pod distributor, I don't really interact much with these YT posts once they go live, but perhaps I should.
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.
Nice one. Thank you for this!
is there a link to the conversation where you discussed Dude Incredible?
yeah vishkhanna.com/2014/07/31/ep-120-steve-albini/
I keep hearing about people (and some were close friends of mine) that are dying that ate healthy and didn't even drink or do drugs. Bummer.
instead of being fermented in vats or out in the open air it is fermented inside the gut of the animal
Steve Albini was a disgusting child porn fanatic. Google it.
I thank you for your words and your work … RIP Steve. You Sir are also a true hero - so great shows and interviews….
I love Watt. He's one of my heroes. But man, he kinda came off like a jerk here
Not an ounce of jerk in him
Great listerni don't think he will retire till he can't walk on the stage
It sounds like Steve was really enjoying life..
Love the interview but the editing is kind of off
yeah, there was a glitch in the rendering of the file. I replaced it on all podcast players but couldn't do so here, sorry
He had a great mind and was always generous with his thoughts. I disagree with many of his opinions on music and production, but always respect that he was so principled about everything and valued integrity. He'll be missed.
あなた自身を取り戻せ, Watt!
Been listening to your chats with Steve for years and this has to be one of my favourites. Thanks for doing it for all this time.
Poker with Steve and Norm. Warms my heart just thinking about it.
Oh Keith, you too? So disappointing to hear someone you admired unwittingly confess to being a conspiracy theory dummy.
A great sound engineer who knows fuck all about coffee.
"No, because it's delicious"
This makes me happy 😊 so long, Steve
I LOVE kopi luwak…seen them at the Pitchfork fest in Chicago. I didn’t know they recorded at Electrical 😮 the snare sound on their sophomore effort is AMAZING.
civit poop coffee I'm ok with, rag-wiped glass less so 😅🤢
That's like mixing high-end bourbon with coke for a jack n' coke. What a friggin' waste, man!
“I gather you’re jazzed up”
Great job sir ! Thank you .
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.🤘
"This is a teradactyl carrying its surfboard to the beach"
This is on par with David Lynch makes Quinoa
Good lord, okay! 2:19:20 These next couple sentences must have been the average Albini interview experience. Rest in Power, my favarotite vinegar role model.
Thank you. The episode numbers in your description look like hyperlinks but send me to weird UA-cam channels with numerical names. Managing to find them :)
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.
Back again having just listened to To Alll Trains for the first time. Bittersweet to hear it having listened to this pod yesterday and getting an explanation of all the songs on it. It's a cool record and a fitting tribute. He didn't fear hell.
Perfection
That was great. Thanks for sharing.
Tip your barista.
