    I love how even Steve Albini's zoom chat has natural room reverb. That's dedication to his style, lol.

      This interview may be his second last audio interview. The very last audio interview with him I've seen so far would be the small segment at Conan Newtron's Protonic Reversal 10 year Anniversary Special about 8 or 9 days ago, if anyone cares to know.

Thank you for that, this video being made so close to his passing really gave us a way to peek into his life and mind and I’m glad we got to see him in that light. RIP Steve 🫡

    Steve seemed hesitant to record Nirvana and then for awhile was somewhat ambivalent to the record and overall experience. But since the 20th anniversary in 2013, he has done so many interviews about In Utero. He's always so enthusiastic and almost always reveals some sort of new information. His recollection of detail is incredible. I love it. Thank you, Steve!
