WTF: Steve Albini: Gearwire Interview
Unless you're a serious musician or engineer, watching someone talk about a Harmonic Percolator pedal is as boring as it sounds-- unless that someone is musician and engineer Steve Albini. Okay, Albini is a little dry here, in this interview he did for music equipment review site Gearwire. But he livens things up by inexplicably wearing stilts for the first half of the interview. It not only makes Albini super tall, but forces him to seasickly shift back and forth.
Albini also spends the second portion of the interview talking about a pedal he made especially for Pussy Galore, and exactly none of the interview discussing Excellent Italian Greyhound, Shellac's first new album in seven years-- which, as Pitchfork News reported Monday, is finally due out June 5 via Touch and Go.
