  • Today, Greg is having a GAS with Steve Albini, the founder of Electrical Audio recording studios in Chicago.
    www.electricalaudio.com
    Steve is most widely known for having engineered In Utero, by Nirvana; Surfer Rosa by Pixies; Rid of Me by PJ Harvey and The Weirdness by The Stooges, but has worked on literally thousands of albums besides these in his extensive career.
    Steve is also notorious for his stance on analogue recording techniques, and is a vocal critic of digital media, citing its inevitable medium-term obsolescence as a fatal flaw which has never been properly addressed.
    Having a GAS…is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising, for dancing to, for cooking to, and more…

    Steve left us too soon! Goddammit! This man doesn’t beat around the bush - he just tells the hard truth and surfaces it immediately in any conversation I’ve heard with him.

    Great interview again. I challenge anyone out there to find a Steve Albini interview where he fails to use the term 'paradigm'. You will fail :)

    i cant believe it - i´ve been following US politics for years now and especially close during the last year and now i´m watching a clip about GAS studio nerd stuff and the first thing i get to understand is the reason why those idiots over there were puushing the reopening so much and ignoring the all the obvious dangers of it. never heard any of this on CNN, MSNBC, NYT or WP. crazy. but grateful. now on with the clip

    I love how unapologetic Steve was about our politics , during the first 20 minutes.
    100% right on.

    I am a left leaning business owner and I am always amazed at how people get the unemployment system wrong in the US. The employer does not “pay into” the unemployment system, the employee does. The employer only facilitates the transference of funds from the employees wages. I know this video isn’t about that. But it drives me nuts.

    That was some great conversation. It’s amazing to think that the musical madman of the band I saw in the mid 80’s worked and persevered into a world class producer. Thanks for posting!

    question:
    until when we'll have time to hire Albini to make a record ?? .. he is not planning to retire, is he ??

    • @LukeMcGuireoides
      @LukeMcGuireoides 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He isnt. He'll be recording till he can no longer record. I doubt he'll ever retire. Whether or not he'll be doing at his own space, idk. I hope hes still in business
