Post date October 21, 2025

Julianna Riolino returns to discuss her excellent new album, Echo in the Dust, hanging out in her childhood bedroom and reflecting upon life with our respective parents, being a particularly sensitive person and artist, existentialism, pondering the universe, and billionaires who wish to escape Earth, reflecting upon her time in and outside of Daniel Romano’s Outfit, theatricality on the new record that may stem from her youth as a drama kid, growth and heights, music production approaches, the Beatles and the Who, writing new songs, touring, 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.
