  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition - Episode 24 - Last Angry Weirdos

    So even though there is not a regular edition episode of

    Love That Album this month (February 2016), Eric Reanimator is working hard to
    keep you folks who love your music discussion podcasts happy with episode 24 of
    Love That Album – The Compilation Edition. This time around Eric is discussing bringing some more punk
    and power pop to y’all. He’s dropping some knowledge about releases from some
    really fun sounding LA bands The Last, The Weirdos, The Angry Samoans and The
    Joneses. Like a punk record from the day, it’s brief but sweet....and if you're a Baby Boomer (take a deep breath, Eric) you're bound to raise a smile at a cover the Joneses do. Get onto it.You can download the

  • Love That Album episode 87 - Joe Jackson & Friends - Heaven And Hell

    Love That Album podcast is back for 2016.

     
    Episode 87 features a discussion of an album I’ve wanted to talk about
    for a long time. It’s taken until now to find someone equally enthusiastic
    about Joe Jackson’s 1997 album, Heaven and Hell to co-host the show. I am
    joined by Tom Kwei, who along with his mate Sam Whiles, hosts an excellent show
    focusing on the albums of Tom Waits called Down In The Hole. If you’re willing
    to talk about Tom Waits, you’re surely up for some heavy duty conversations.
     
    Together we discussed JJ’s musical adventurousness in pursuing many
    different styles of music. Here he marries 20th Century Classical with 90s
    electronics (not trip-hop style, but he must have been paying attention).  
     
    Heaven And Hell is a concept album of sorts where the linking theme
    between the songs are the 7 Deadly Sins. Joe and the other singers and
    musicians he collaborates with on this album tell a tale in each song for each
    of the different “sins” – I guess I prefer to think of them as human traits.
    Though the classification of these traits have their roots in Catholic
    theology, they’ve always been the basis for secular contemplation in the arts.
    Joe tells stories of lost morality in wartime, unreliable narrators, childish
    behaviour, too much booze and trying to fly to the sun. Many reviewers of this album
    have labelled it as pretentious, dull, or derivative. Being a nice fellow, I
    don’t want to say how I label these reviewers…..Suffice to say, Tom and I would
    be immensely happy if you listened to us give the case why this album is
    completely worthy of your time.
     
    I’m also very excited that some Joe Jackson fans from the aptly titled Facebook
    group “Joe Jackson has Other Songs Besides Is She Really Going Out With Him”
    took the time to send me their thoughts on the album which I include as
    feedback to the show. Thank you so much, kind people.
     
    Eric Reanimator returns for his Album I Love segment to pay respect to
    David Bowie and his Berlin Trilogy of albums, Low, Heroes and Lodger. The nice
    connection is that JJ has always been a big fan of Bowie and has played covers
    as part of his live set. Also, like Bowie, he lived in Berlin for many years.
     
    My huge thanks to Tom for being so giving of his time to join me, and
    bringing his enthusiasm and fascinating thoughts. He will be back on LTA next
    month.

  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition - Episode 23 - Lemmy Meek

    Hey folks, it’s time to bring you some new Love That Album podcasting for

    2016. We’re starting off with episode 23 of Eric Reanimator’s  Love That Album – The Compilation Edition. In
    the last couple of weeks, rock music has lost (at least) three iconic rock
    music figures. Stevie Wright of The Easybeats, David Bowie (who did a cracking
    version of “Friday On My Mind”), and Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister. Eric starts this
    episode discussing two facets to Lemmy’s career. First, he discusses Lemmy’s
    first important band Hawkwind and their live album “Space Ritual” before moving
    onto the more iconic Motorhead live album “No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith”. Then, he discusses a compilation of a very
    different artist, producer Joe Meek. He created a hit for the Tornados with “Telstar”,
    but as the compilation “The Alchemist Of Pop - Home Made Hits & Rarities
    1959-1966” shows, he produced a lot of hits with his very distinctive style of
    heavy reverb and sped up sounds. Eric discusses the man and this compilation. You can
    download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or
    downloading streaming directly from  http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com Send the
    show feedback at [email protected] (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the

  • Love That Album episode 86 - End of 2015 favourite first-time albums with the Shooting The Shit Crew, Part 2

    It's time

    for episode 86 of Love That Album podcast.....which is also part 2 of the
    end-of-year special with the other members of the Shooting The Shit Crew to
    discuss favourite first time listens in 2015.
     
     
    This time
    around, I am joined by LTA regular contributor Eric Peterson in Ann Arbor, and
    ardent Springsteen fan Geoff Smith from the northern end of Melbourne. I merely
    mediate this time.
     
     
    Like
    episode 85 where I was joined by Michael Pursche and Tim Merrill, versatility
    is the keyword here. Geoff and Eric's selections are wildly different, but all
    worthy of your consideration. Join us, won't you?
     
     
    Since
    this is the final episode of 2015, I want to say a big thank you to anyone who
    participated in an episode or made the time to listen to an episode this year.
    I hope you'll continue to do so in 2016.

  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition - Episode 22 - Going Free Form

    It's time for Eric's final Compilation

    Edition LTA for 2015. I'll let him describe it.
     
     ****************************************************
     
    For the most part I use these compilation
    editions to highlight soundtracks, Comp album, boxsets and all that jazz… but
    this time around I have used this episode to play a bunch of tracks from
    various bands that I haven’t been able to fit into either the Compilation
    Editions or my Album I Love Segments.  This play list covers a range
    of Garage Punk tunes, some power pop, and a few Hard Rock and Lite Metal tunes.
    Some of these were songs of the moment in their day, others are underground or
    local classics and a few are just gems that have yet to be embraced. So sit
    back, listen, enjoy.

  • Love That Album episode 85 - End of 2015 favourite first-time albums with the Shooting The Shit Crew, Part 1

    It’s December, so it must be time

    for another Love That Album end-of-year Shooting The Shit session. In case you’re not familiar with
    the term, LTA has done a small number of panel shows under the Shooting The
    Shit moniker. We haven’t held a more general discussion in a long while, but
    the tradition holds that we do our “favourite first time listens of the year”
    show. As long as the panellists heard a particular album for the first time in
    2015 (regardless of the year of release), it’s up for discussion. Because the crew is comprised of
    6 of us, we’re doing this over two shows so you’re not listening for 4 hours
    straight!!! For episode 85, and the first of the STS faves specials, I am
    joined by my See Hear co-host Tim Merrill and Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide podcast
    host, Michael Pursche. We offer 5 albums each for your consideration as our
    favourite first time listens in 2015. Let me tell you folks, the key word here
    is “diversity”. There are a range of styles on offer here, so there will be
    something that will appeal to all tastes. I even have some feedback from
    listeners as to their favourite albums of the year. I love getting feedback for
    the same reason Sally Field loves getting Academy Awards…. Episode 86 will be part 2 of the
    end-of-year shows, and will be online in a couple of weeks. That will feature
    Geoff Smith, John Stirrat, and Eric Reanimator giving their well-considered
    choices. My thanks to my co-presenters for
    taking the time to record these shows with me, and my thanks to anyone who
    listens to the shows. There are a lot of podcasts out there to demand your
    time, so if you’ve let me into your headphones, I’m grateful to be included a
    part of your listening schedule. You can
    download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or
    downloading streaming directly from  http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com Send the
    show feedback at [email protected] (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the
    Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum. If you’d
    consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, I’d be
    immensely grateful. If you
    enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.
