Well hey, hey there Protonic Reversal devotees. Time for another episode, Steve Albini is back with us after a 106 episode break. Conan and Steve talk about: -Steve inadvertently ruining the “perfect run” of 9 continuous guests for the 100th episode of Protonic Reversal (not out of malice) -Winning the World Series of Poker (and why that might not be as impressive as it sounds) -Why recording records is still satisfying. -Fluffy coffee shop -A story of two competing magic shops -Thoughts on the internet equalizing things for music. -How this helps those passionate about music as opposed to those passionate about profit. -The hive mind as a filter. -The internet as a discovery tool for lost art. -Nick Drake’s mother. -Pegboy play South America -Streaming Services and the next logical progression of decentralization. -“how do you stop something that doesn’t store anything?” -Longevity in studios = flexibility -dislike of meritocracy as a term. -the value of record stores are the maniacs that work there -On hating nostalgia the first time -On the lack of appreciation of nuance and allegory in past compositions -Specifically: Prayer to God -Appropriation of past art and public figures for political end -the mind opening power of punk rock -You don’t make anything better by assuming your audience is stupid and dumbing down -Kindred spirits with the devout. -Making records with people who also record at home or in unorthodox ways. -Who gets told “no”? -Fleetwood Mac (and the like) helped create punk rock -Overdubs and Harmonies, and how they can be life lessons. -Who would Steve most like to record? -Rerecording In Color by Cheap Trick -The End of Radio is the end theme song for Protonic Reversal, the ideas behind the song.
Protonic Reversal is a live (and lively!) interview show that is streamed live and podcasted later, the podcast is the primary thing. It is possible you can hear superior audio at any of the other formats at the link above. The show is a conversation of amusing anecdotes, rocker ennui, why people do what they do & other assorted hijinx. It’s like “Inside the rocker’s studio” or something…
