Have yet to hear them play this live, as I've only seen them live twice (once in 2019, once this year at Primavera Sound Barcelona). The nastiest fucking guitar and bass tones I have ever heard live bar none. So idiosyncratically dialed in, just totally characteristic and unique. First time I heard this song was maybe in 2018, on the come-up of a 2 tab acid trip. My house mate at the time asked if I wouldn't mind him playing some tunes while I came up. I had previously heard At Action Park but that was my extent of exposure to Shellac. He played 'The End of Radio' on the threshold between not feeling the acid and starting to have my senses and faculties distorted. The electrifying quality of this song blew my mind, as I started climbing to the peak of the trip quite rapidly. It has been forever etched into my brain's grey matter, one of my favourite music listening experiences.
I've seen them three times and each gig they played this. Without a doubt, Shellac are one of the most beautiful live bands around today. Don't get me started on their moral stand-point because they win that one too. Why more people don't like Shellac is something that puzzles me, but I like it.
Man. I fully agree! Ive been a fan of Mr. Albini since . .. forfuckingever and Shellac has become something of a capstone to his musical career, but what do I know ?
Morgan Beatty, nice work. Who gives a shit if the shit if there is the odd rare bit sound of things blowing up. As summing up the mood, this clip is killer. And ya right, if people want to be listening to the song for sound, buy the fucking album. I saw these guys in Brisbane a few weeks back. Fucking unbelievable. Got to thank the guys personally, I was holding a glass of cheap house white when I went to thank Steve. He gave me a disapproving look, but shit he still accepted my thank you. Ha
Where are all the rock stations going? Out of existence....Albini was right. "If this had been a real emergency.....THIS IS A REAL GOD DAMN EMERGENCY!!!"
Kids my age need to stop listening to celebrities who made one song and now take their fame for granted. Kids my age should be listening to real music. Kids my age should be listening to Shellac.
it does good to me, anyways. but thanx for the upload, without a doubt or a reservation. this v. sounds different than what i've been hearing off grooveshard, which was off the album i thought, but, yea, the car sound, the drumming, everything.... is this like something extra special or what, no. nevermind, i guess it's me.
Where is the footage from btw? is it just randomly collected videos of these signal towers falling or there is a specific source cause its freaking awesome :)
Here the sound effects are unobtrusive & they fit with the theme of the song so I agree. But others will use the song as the back drop for an entire clip of a video game clip without muting the sound effects or with their headcam shot of an atv-race or some silly shit like that at which point it's pretty disrespectful. When you hear the sound of an engine for all or most of the song it becomes an integral component to the song such that it's another version of the song. Not good
Doesn't matter whether the audio was ripped from a CD or recorded off of vinyl. It doesn't even matter if it was saved in a PCM format. Being linked to a video and uploaded onto UA-cam means it has been converted to a lossy compression format. At this point, the only appreciable difference is probably that one is louder than the other. Other than that, there is surely some excess noise unique to each file that comes from making copies of anything, but that should be negligible.
Signing off. RIP Steve.
We just lost an absolute legend. RiP Steve..... Thank for so much inspiration through the decades.✊
What a amazing man and now everything he made will live on forever
RIP Steve
The first time I ever heard this song I was sleep deprived and 4 hours into driving on 128 to visit a friend. Thought for sure I was losing it lmao.
I'll never get tired of this song. So good.
safe trip to heaven dear mr. Albini.
The last announcer plays the last record...
RIP.
IT'S THE WILD WILD WEST OUT HERE!
THEY PUTTIN TOWERS UP EVERYWHERE
Awesome video
The last watt leaves the transmitter, and circles the globe in search of a listener.
ive got 50,000 watts of power.....i wanna ionize the air, THIS MICROPHONE TURNS SOUND INTO ELECTRICITY! DO YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Beautiful description of your come up. Shellac is top tier tripping vibes 👌.
Joey Ramone's death hit me hard. And this one hit me ever harder. Shit.
I've seen them three times and each gig they played this. Without a doubt, Shellac are one of the most beautiful live bands around today. Don't get me started on their moral stand-point because they win that one too. Why more people don't like Shellac is something that puzzles me, but I like it.
Steve Albini sacrificed himself for our digital sins. The analog god has risen, again.
Did they take the drums away at the end?? Did every time I've seen em and that's years apart...
Man. I fully agree! Ive been a fan of Mr. Albini since . .. forfuckingever and Shellac has become something of a capstone to his musical career, but what do I know ?
@@nathanerickson3357 Amen.🙏🏼🤘🏻
This song is meant to be heard on the radio
50000 watts of power, sound into electricity
THIS IS A REAL GODDAMN EMERGENCY
"That snare drum, and that drum roll, means we got a winner!!"
Thanks! I've seen them twice but never talked to them with a white wine in my hand. That's an awesome story.

Truly stunning... especially when performed live.

18 people need a better vcr
love the song, hate the background sounds.
@Azrael138 Sorry, man (I'm the same guy who made that comment). I guess I was a prideful asshole 6 months ago, but no, I don't mean that anymore.
Listen to this, then listen to Vast by Brandon Coleman: ua-cam.com/video/a6giPLuRBJA/v-deo.html
I was waiting for the good part, but it never came.
crybabies.
Once radio was totally owned, it died. Too bad. It mostly sucked, anyway.
hahaha your an audiophile! hahahahaha I recorded it straight of the album! hahahaha
Awesome!
