Underworld was your father’s last signing to the label before he passed away.

Yes, it was. This record, and the song “Cowgirl” in particular, has a lot of meaning for me. This was the last signed band that my dad was just so in love with. You could not get him to stop playing them. My dad and Dannie went to Hope, Arkansas, where Dannie was from, to buy some Klipsch Speakers which are made there. They bought a pair of speakers, these massive things, and they drove ‘em back to Chicago. And not far after that, this record came in and they would just blast this LP in their living room. The sound system was amazing. It just takes me back to my dad’s living room. These guys, Underworld, are just wickedly talented. I still haven’t seen them, which pisses me off. I tried to get them for the [2011 Wax Trax! Records Retrospectacle] event at Metro, that three-day show, but they were working on music for the Olympics so they couldn’t. Every single thing they do is so good. They rarely have a song under ten minutes but they’re all beautiful, super textured, melodic, and beat-heavy. They’re a great band. I’m happy this my number one.
