On 17 May 2024, I paid tribute to Steve Albini with a special 3-hour edition of the show on 94.9 FM Radio Western.
Nobody has had a greater impact on my love and passion for underground music over the past 25 years. I still remember my older brother bringing home a copy of Teraform on CD in the late ’90’s and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Check out the audio archive and playlist below featuring both music Albini performs on along with other bands he recorded.
The world feels empty without him, though his music and recordings will live on forever!
RIP to the best to ever do it.

An all vinyl edition of the show aired 19 April on 94.9 FM Radio Western and is now archived.
Bringing you an eclectic mix from my personal collection and the station’s library.
With millions of songs these days right at our fingertips, it’s nice to get away from digital for a show and spin some analog records.
Whichever format you prefer (vinyl, CD, digital music off Bandcamp), be sure to buy music and support indie record stores, musicians, and labels.
