Interview at Steve Albini's Basement Studio, Winter ‘89/‘90.

This is an interview that I did with Steve Albini in his basement studio in Chicago. Recorded in the Winter of 89/90 for an audio engineering class I was taking at Columbia College Chicago.
Steve had recorded my band, Squelch, that past summer and was kind enough to help me with a guided tour of his studio. This is, of course, digitized from a VHS tape. The audio in the control room is from Urge Overkill's, "Your Friend Is Insane".
Thank you to Steve for allowing me to post this.
Please ask me for permission before using any portion of this video, if you would be so kind.
Added comment, June 2024: Thanks for all the interest and comments regarding this video. I never thought so many people would view this.
I was so nervous that day of the shoot. I was young and intimidated, and Steve took his humorous and hurtful shots at me as I sometimes clumsily got through the interview. Steve was just being Steve. I knew what I signed up for.
I was very lucky to be in the Chicago area while such amazing music was just starting to be created in the city. Going to see some of the earliest shows of Bastro, Tortoise, Gastr del Sol, the Jesus Lizard, Slint, Shellac, and to befriend some of those people (and still call some of them friend) was an absolutely inspirational time. Steve contributed so much to the Chicago sound and helped out so many of us. There will never be another Steve Albini.
