The Teeth record is really cool, I played with some folks at a live tribute to Grabski and we played the whole thing, I don't know who it sounded out in the room, but it was a wild thing to be a part of,
I know there was talk of some other recordings he made with Steve and possibly another record, but I'm not sure where all that is at.

There's a new(ish) Kreative Kontrol podcast chat with Albini around too, it's good but I just wish Vish Khanna wasn't such a mush mouth.

I am in the background at that home game, under the unflattering lights. Fun to have our home game archived like this.

I can't decide what's less interesting: watching people (especially celebrities) play poker or listening to a friend describe their fantasy football team.

He has a rep as a big curmudgeon, but he comes across as such a chill dude in this and the poker video.
Love the 16 string guitar.

The other Show Us Your Junk films are worth watching too, Lee Ranaldo, Money Mark, Mario Caldato and a few others.

Thanks for posting that btw, I love these kinds of videos (and even love Earthquaker pedals) but didn't know about the series.

Was this posted elsewhere? It's an interview with Steve Albini from 2018, I believe.

For, like, a minute, on an EP, as a favor.
Say this much about Albini, dude has an ethos. "I've heard people say that rock is dead, but I don't believe that. They haven't killed ska, for fuck's sake, how are they going to kill rock?"
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 27 May 2019 12:23 (four years ago) link
Their best release!
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 27 May 2019 14:58 (four years ago) link
They definitely killed ska

Ha, there was a great ska band joke in What We Do In the Shadows, like, last week.

xxp - A very 1998 ska act was on Jimmy Kimmel six months ago, I know people who saw Reel Big Fish recently, tons of the more traditional '90s ska acts still play.

Would be more interested in an Albini-recorded Op Ivy than the fugazi sessions.

I would love to hear Albini record Dredd Zeppelin.

According to this and suggested by the album cover art of a cake shop near Electrical, he recorded this:

googling to see if Dread Zeppelin had any original members (yes: one), I learnt that a) Tortelvis rejoined the band b) 26 years ago c) because INXS had pursued them as a support act [but d) due to having quit he only ended up playing one show on the tour]
― quelle sprocket damage (sic), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 19:36 (four years ago) link
he should join INXS
