David Pajo returns to discuss Papa M‘s Ballads of Harry Houdini and provide insights about each song, reflecting upon the profound memorial gathering for Steve Albini that we attended this past July and also Steve’s talents and knowledge-sharing generosity, embracing improvisation and never touching a computer to make his new record, how playing in Tortoise still informs his work, unsettling songs and horror movies, reissuing Slint’s Tweez and releasing Aerial M’s Peel Sessions, making new music, touring with Gang of Four, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #925: Steve Albini (2007)

Post author By vish
Post date November 20, 2024

At my invitation, Steve Albini appeared on Kreative Kontrol at least once a year since its inception in 2013. We started a tradition where we spoke just ahead of annual, poverty alleviation Letters to Santa live events, such as the gala they’re holding on November 23, 2024, at the Brookfield Zoo Chicago: Discovery Center, featuring Jeff Tweedy, Fred Armisen, and Kim Deal among others. To maintain the tradition and spirit of the talks we had, I plan to feature archival interviews I conducted with Steve over the years, presenting them here ahead of Letters to Santa events for as long as possible. Here’s the second radio interview we ever did. It took place in the early summer of 2007 and was ostensibly about the then new Shellac album, Excellent Italian Greyhound, and touched upon local radio fame, Martina Navratilova, people who film concerts instead of participating in them, Canada, SCTV, John Peel, and more.
