Steve Albini is a man who lives in Chicago, Illinois and owns and operates the really remarkable Electrical Audio Recording facility. He is the guitar player and primary singer in the band Shellac and he makes a mean cup of fluffy coffee. The 1993 album In Utero by the Washington-State-based band Nirvana is among the thousands of records that Albini has engineered over the course of his time doing that sort of thing and earlier this summer he gave the songs from those sessions fresh mixes for the 20th anniversary edition of In Utero, which is due out in North America on September 24. In our past midnight conversation, Steve discussed his interesting history with Kurt Cobain, his abandoned work with Fugazi, the stories behind making In Utero, why the new edition of the record was mastered to sound the best it possibly can, the highs and lows of the relatively recent rash of remastered reissues that record buyers face each and every day, the mostly good but surprisingly sad and surreal professional aftermath of making In Utero, how it might have changed his life, how the new Shellac LP’s test pressings are on route to the band and artwork is close to finalized (also the new Bottomless Pit record is done!), and why he doesn’t care about Breaking Bad but can tolerate The Newsroom.

Great podcast with Steve about what to expect from this release.

Thanks for that
Albini is great. Loved his response to the Courtney Love and the record company hating the record questions.

Albini on Pearl Jam: "mimicking underground culture" "cash in crowd" Uses them in the same sentence as "Cadlebox" and "Stone Temple Fuckheads"

This thread coupled with Kevin Davis's 'Mystery Pill' has me revisiting Nirvana for the first time in a long time. These guys were pretty great.

Can't be surprising. Albini is infamous for being a self-serious snob, hopelessly enamored with his own concept of "cool". Bright guy, super talented and insightful, but way the fuck up his own ass.

Yup. To me, he was always a self-appointed king of hipster douchebags.

I was organizing comic books while listening so obviously the concept of not being able to suspend disbelief is pretty alien to me.

Man, I love that song. Always thought of it as In Utero's Lounge Act.
Can't wait for this deluxe edition.

What does he even mean, "mimicking underground culture" and "cash in crowd?"
Dude really cares about some superficial bullshit, huh?

Albini must be really exhausting to deal with, even if he is an ok producer or musician; all those rules...my god...relax a little bit, please.
