Steve Albini - SixPack Podcast Interview April 2024

We were so incredibly privileged to have spoken to the legendary Steve Albini for our podcast one month before his tragic death. We don't normally post our video chats online but thought there might be lots of people who'd like to see it. You can listen to the full podcast show at linktr.ee/sixp...
Steve discusses the new Shellac LP 'To All Trains', ATP Festival and his favourite recording from John Cale. #thankyoustevealbini

Never heard Steve talk at length about the minutemen. Super cool. One of my all time favorite bands

[@iRevolVeR21]

I'm struck mostly by his candid humble nature. He literally seems like me music fan, audio nerd while being grounded as a musician. He will be missed. RIP Steve. He's probably in heaven rocking out with and recording the greats.

Glad you both decided to post this video. Albini will be missed by so many. XO

Hard to believe he is gone. RIP, Steve.

[@TheDreamingJune]

Always love listening to Steve talk about music in an analytical sense. Still doesn't feel real he's no longer with us. RIP to this legend.

What a guy, what a life! Thanks, Steve! And thanks for sharing this great conversation, guys!

[@DARYLMELVIN]

“Stealing things and breaking things”. He said the thing!

[@jimmyjimbo666]

Thanks for posting. RIP Steve.

[@Overlorddz]

Unbelievable Steve. His awesomeness in life was as hard to comprehend as the fucked up news of his death.

[@juanfilipwinifred]

In hindsight parts of this interview are very tragic. Especially him mentioning “health concerns” and talk about booking shows for the fall

[@romulodornelas3206]

What a loss. I had the privilege to watch Shellac live in São Paulo Brazil and it was one of the best show ever. Small venue, the Q&A moment it was very funny. I asked my stupid question but living now in Canada, I was hope to watch them live and ask for Steve why we still not having a song with Cowbell. Still not believing that we no longer have Steve Albini. Thanks so much for the interview. It’s aways delightful hear Steve talking about music.

[@SixPackPodcast]

Hard to believe he’s gone. Thanks for your comment.

Steve Albini - SixPack Podcast Interview April 2024 27.5.24 1209pm albini knew how it worked - there was no pressing desire to place stipulations on folks to get some semblance of loyalty out of them and vice versa... as for midwest or cruddy culture post punk record labels eg: touch and go or bone air or homestead... i felt those guys were trynna bring music around to some semblance of coherence due to it's death circa 1977-80... revisiting some musical trauma and then setting out some clean slate so's country music could make a comeback and light entertainment could take back the ironic stance clued stance punks kids had taken.... the post ironic state of affairs means neil diamond can be enjoyed, Engelbert Humperdinck can be spoken of..james galway can be referenced.... i'm not richard nor julie... p.s no idea why albini has been deemed unwholesome to such a degree that's he's now deemed dead..ie i dont believe he's jossed it.

[@charlyhood]

Thanks for sharing!

[@donniebobb74]

wow! so amazing to see him have fun here.

[@ShiceSquad]

Oh man, this might have been his last interview. I still can't believe he's gone. Anyway, y'all did a great interview - avoided all the normal boring questions everyone always asks him.

[@josephhopeless829]

Wow was this the last interview he ever did? Spooky how it ends with him talking about his engineer influences and they’re all dead. Nutty, I wonder if he knew his time was pretty limited.

[@WeAreTheFallPod]

Great chat with the man. Cheers!

[@ThoughtCrimeCollective]

Thanks for this lads!

Steve Albini - SixPack Podcast Interview April 2024. 27.5.24. scrap kulture? Einsturzende Neubauten's joke rested on that entire sub culture. At this point one's heart sank, you think: he's given up....do have I, it would seem..... Msy as well be dead with that realisation....

[@blakestewart7200]

Fantastic interview! Godspeed to a legend.

[@SixPackPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brandonburroughs7128]

Steve Albini - SixPack Podcast Interview April 2024. 27.5.24. jeeeez......time to spill the beans. we all had his moniker etched firmly on our brows when I was leaving my teens, heading into my adulthood. Some nice bands, some nasty bands, some rainy bands, some dunny laden happy shiny bands.... no time for the OCD amongst us? I concur......

[@erictorres2368]

This just keeps on hurtin. He mentioned something about health issues 😢

[@ROOKTABULA]

I just learned Albini died in the comments section of a new short Beato posted of Butch Vig. So fukt.

[@krspodshow]

27:19 , Seems like Steve knew something was up..."...there are some health concerns" RIP Steve

[@quintmylodonrecorders8387]

I believe (and I could be wrong) but I think his wife Heather had some health concerns of her own which was what he was reffering to. I may be wrong however.

[@MeatPole]

I have a hard time watching this.

[@______638]

:'(

[@lukewand]

Goat "creeped me out" when I first heard it.... So tactile it felt awkward. Steve was part of that creep...
