#118 - How I Wrote How I Wrote Elastic Man: Steve Albini

About this episode

The episode features a discussion about Steve Albini's last release with Shellac and The Fall's influence on his music.

Steve Albini left this planet 2 years ago, and we recorded an episode (back in 2024; unreleased) covering his last release with Shellac, as well as The Fall's influence on his own music. He may or may not have been in collusion with Virgin trains, but enjoy this mini side-journey!
