Ep. #869: Steve Albini

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, after my own remembrance and tribute. I love you Steve and will miss you forever. Thank you for everything. Support vish on Patreon! Thanks to Blackbyrd Myoozik, Pizza Trokadero, the Bookshelf, Planet Bean Coffee, and Grandad’s Donuts.
