Just passing this along for those that might be interested. I found this a really fascinating discussion. He talks about recording In Utero for Nirvana and then goes into a long discussion about the music industry in general and how it has changed with the advent of the internet and streaming music services.
Favorite quote: "People have said that rock is dead. I don't buy that. They haven't killed ska for frick's sake. How are they going to kill rock?"

Also another interview with him where he discusses recording Walking into Clarksdale with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.

For those that aren't familiar with him, he's a recording engineer and producer. Here's his wikipedia entry: LINK

Watching those videos sent me down a Steve Albini rabbit hole last night.
If you have any interest in analog recording, here are some more videos you might find interesting.
This is a long (2 hour) video where he discusses his recording and mixing philosophy and also why he chooses to still use analog techniques.
Masterclass with Steve Albini
This is the first in a series of videos where he demonstrates how he mixes down a recording. I think there are about 6 videos in the series.

He's an interesting cat. Along with being a guy who made some great sounding records, he's a hell of a poker player. Like he won a tournament around the World Series of Poker a few years ago. Before that, he was on an online poker forum fielding questions from people and talking real candidly about his experiences in the music biz.

I never knew he was a poker player. I'm a bit surprised that he has time for it.
In watching all these videos I'm struck by how open and candid he is about his approach and his experiences. He had some good mentors when he was getting started and now he's paying that forward. Also he's incredibly non-judgmental. He believes that the band should sound like the band wants to sound and it's not his place to steer them in a different direction. His job is to execute the sounds that the band wants. That's why he eschews the term producer.
