I had the pleasure of working with Steve Albini in 2005. He will be missed by many. Here’s a pic from the session…

Steve Albini, Dave Patrikios, Stephen Chopek, John Biz - Chicago, 2005. I was playing drums for John (with Dave on bass) for a few years, and we recorded his album The Happiest Days Of My Life at Electrical Audio in Chicago, IL. Steve Albini engineered / mixed the sessions in Studio A. We were there for three days in September, and stayed in the apartments upstairs from the studio. John wrote great songs for the album, and Steve did a fantastic job capturing the performances.
