Post author By vish
Post date May 19, 2026

Brian Borcherdt, Matt Schulz, and Graham Walsh from Holy Fuck are here to discuss their new album Event Beat, moving back to Toronto and leaving New York City for Ohio, receiving noise complaints from studio neighbours because of the band Slayer, the growing trend of musicians not having access to isolated practice spaces, whether a hiatus ever placed the band’s future in doubt, making music for fun but also for other people to party to, the impact of having their songs placed in films and tv shows, writing thoughtful lyrics for textured singing, a tribute to compact discs, playing many shows, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #869: Steve Albini

Post author By vish
Post date May 15, 2024

After almost 20 years of near-annual conversations, my final talk with Steve Albini took place on April 23, 2024. Steve died suddenly on May 7. This last chat was ostensibly about the new Shellac album, To All Trains, and Steve told me a story about every song, though I hadn’t yet heard one note from the album at the time. Preparing this episode was sad and surreal; it felt like Steve was still here. As part of my attempt to honour Steve and our long association, I wanted to share this with others who are grieving and may want to hear his voice again. The interview itself appears at roughly the 45:00 mark, after my own remembrance and tribute. I cannot adequately convey what Steve meant to me and the world, but I tried. I love you Steve and will miss you forever. Thank you for everything.
