The Jesus Lizard Week ’24 begins with David Yow discussing the Jesus Lizard‘s new album RACK, loving Los Angeles but moving out of the United States of America, his writing practice these days and those few but notable people who’ve contributed to lyrics in the Jesus Lizard over the years, how the late Lhasa de Sela and also Led Zeppelin influenced his vocals and writing on RACK, working on his singing in his old band Qui, and how he almost fronted a reconstituted Nirvana for an event a few years ago, other future plans, and much more.

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.
