Words

Words of all shapes and sizes will live here, along with a few images (also available in the por^Wpictures section). For the interview from Forced Exposure 9 and the Last Tour Diary, visit Reid Fleming's Big Black Sourcebook. Convulsion have a nice (but short) post Rapeman interview with Steve up. There's also a saucy interview at the Onion AV Club, where you can see that Steve is just as wild now as he was in 1986.

The cDc have an interview with Steve too.

There's a brand-spanking-new interview with Steve Albini at Truth in Stuff that deals a lot with "punk" and independence in music. Check it.
