RIP: Steve Albini (Roland)

Steve Albini died yesterday, May 7, at the age of 61. Here’s Joe’s conversation with Steve from 2017. Originally intended to be a gag episode featuring Roland (the drum machine used in Steve’s band, Big Black), this turned into an earnest conversation documenting Steve’s evolution from sharp-witted provocateur to sharp-witted empath. With thousands of recordings to his name, Steve has left a brilliant legacy of massive influence. Requiescat.
