  • Love That Album episode 84 - The Mystery Box #2 - Great Jazz Albums

    It’s time for episode 84 of Love That Album podcast and Mystery Box #2.

    What is the Mystery Box? In March of this year on episode 73, Michael
    Pursche and David Blom joined me to talk about a number of great Australian
    albums worthy of your attention, but no one knew up front what albums the
    others would discuss.
    For the second Mystery Box episode, I am joined by Paleo Cinema and
    Martian Drive In Podcast host Terry Frost to talk about bebop, swing, fusion,
    trad, big band, and free-jazz – in short, we will discuss a number of jazz
    albums we dig and think you listeners need in your lives if you don’t have them
    already there.
    In relation to one of my picks, I also present an interview with
    incredible Australian jazz drummer, David Jones. A veteran player of both the
    rock and jazz worlds, David has much to say about his time spent in one of the
    great Australian jazz fusion bands of the late seventies and early eighties, as
    well as his passion for the music and making sure audiences come away laughing
    as well as digging on the music. My huge thanks to Carmen Warrington for
    arranging this interview with me.
    Eric Reanimator is back with another Album I Love segment to talk about a
    couple of albums by beatnik jazz performer Ralph. Who is Ralph? Tune in and
    find out.
    Even if you’re not a jazz fan, tune in for the great chats I have with
    Terry and David and get a feel for the diversity of our selections.

  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition - Episode 21 - Lounging Around

    So I want to ask you some questions.Do you prefer a suave lounge suit

    over a pair of jeans and a tee shirt? Would you prefer a cocktail over a beer?
    Does a vibraphone solo interest you more than a guitar solo?If you answered yes to these
    questions, Eric Reanimator has some recommendations for you in the latest
    episode of Love That Album: The Compilation Edition (#21).This time around Eric is putting
    aside the wildness of punk and outlaw country to talk about some music to help
    you relax. He’s recommending and talking about three albums that fall under the
    descriptive of lounge exotica. Those albums are Welcome To The Ultra Lounge,
    Misfits Meet The Nutley Brass, (well there had to be a punk link SOMEWHERE,
    right?) and finally The Best Of Martin Denny's Exotica. Eric talks about why the time is
    right to rediscover this music and what led to it being shunned. So turn off
    your episodes of Mad Men, wrap your headphones over your earholes and listen to
    what Eric has to say. Really, the only things missing from this episode are his
    favourite cocktail recipes.You can download the show by

  • Love That Album Episode 83 - Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis

    History could have dictated that the album
    under focus for this episode was called Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette In
    New York  - the artist’s real name and the city of choice for her to
    record her vocals for the album otherwise recorded in Memphis. In the end, the
    album was called Dusty In Memphis. What’s in a name? Plenty as it turns out.
     
     
    I am joined by Shannon Hurley (aka Numbers
    Girl of the All Time Top Ten podcast) to discuss Dusty In Memphis. The album
    was ignored on release back in 1969, but it has since reached large levels of
    respect and love over the years. Its most famous cut Son of a Preacher Man is
    ubiquitous. In a rare return to the old format, Shannon and I discuss the album
    track by track, but also discuss the album’s place in the soul canon. We ask
    whether the album really qualifies as a "soul" album, can the Memphis
    Cats bring the groove (sort of a rhetorical one, really), could Randy Newman
    have sung the songs he wrote for this album, and does sex really beat a cup of
    coffee first thing in the morning?
     
     
    Shannon has been releasing music
    under her own name, but also as part of the duo Lovers and Poets with husband
    Ben Eisen (previous LTA presenter and host of All Time Top Ten). We chat a
    little about Shannon's own musical work and I'm proud to present the premiere
    presentation of L&P's new song, You And Me In The Summer. A wonderful tune,
    and great going into the Australian summer. DIG IT!!!
     
     
    Eric Reanimator returns with his Album
    I Love segment to discuss an EP by Ronnie Spector called She Talks To Rainbows.
    Produced by Joey Ramone, it features Spector's take on some classic punk.

    great new song. Please support her musical endeavours by seeing her play (if
    you live in Los Angeles) or going to her websites

  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition Episode 20 - Death Goth

    For your aural gratification, episode 20 of Love That Album:

    The Compilation Series has arrived.
     
    Eric
    Reanimator takes on the question “what is gothic rock?” Like any music style,
    the answer is never straight forward. Just like “punk” is a wide umbrella,
    different artists who came under the “gothic rock” tag approached it
    differently.
     
    He gives a
    description and history of the genre by way of three compilations: Dismal
    Abysmal Recordings Presents Watch Your Step, Vol.2 The Curse Of The Hearse, Gothic Rock 3 - Black
    On Black - Best Of 80's Collection, and Release The Rats. Humour and horror
    films seem to be an obvious influence on some of this material. Listen to Eric
    discuss and play samples of some of his favourite tunes from these compilations
    and see whether you dig them.

  • Love That Album Episode 82 - Interview with Steve Berlin of Los Lobos

    It’s time for episode 82 of Love That Album podcast.

     
    Way back on episode 27 of the show, I discussed Los Lobos’ seminal
    album "Kiko" with Michael Pursche and was also joined by Steve Berlin, the band
    sax and keyboard player. Steve has very graciously joined me for a second time
    to discuss the brand spanking new album for Lobos called Gates of Gold. If you
    love previous albums featuring rock in a blues vein, soul, Tex-Mex and cumbia,
    you will be very happy with their latest album (released late September 2015).
     
    We discuss the democratic approach to song arrangement in the band, how
    a famous Hollywood director changed their approach to song writing forever, and
    what it’s like to be part of an ensemble that’s been together for so long. We
    also discuss other acts Steve has produced or played with like Diamond Rugs,
    The Flesheaters, Los Super 7 and Neko Case.
     
    Please join me for a very cool episode of the show.

  • Love That Album Episode 81 - Flesheating Cows

    Welcome to episode 81 of Love that Album podcast.

     
    This month, I decided to take a break from the podcast (slackarse that
    I am), but there is no way I would deprive both the listeners of an episode-  nosiree Bob. I called in Eric Reanimator (host
    of LTA: The Compilation Series) and Tim Merrill (my co host at See Hear
    podcast) to present some music discussion for you….and they’ve delivered the
    goods.
     
    First up, they discuss The Flesh
    Eaters’ “A Minute To Pray A
    Second To Die” from 1981. This features a lineup of LA roots rock royalty with
    members of the Blasters, X and (yet to join) Los Lobos. The final result is
    still something leaner and rawer than any of those outfits.
     
    Then the guys go for a real
    curiousity. The Minneapolis band Cows and their album “Cunning Stunts” comes
    under the guys’ gaze. A noise-rock band with a bugle and an interpretation of
    the theme from Midnight Cowboy sure as hell has my attention.
     
    I want to thank Eric and Tim for
    presenting a fantastic episode which introduced me to some good music and
    interesting discussion. I hope you dig it.

  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition Episode 19 - Stompin' Plywood

    It’s time to get some solid

    recommendations from Eric Reanimator for great compilations on Episode 19 of
    Love That Album: The Compilation Edition. Both albums focus on
    Canadian troubadour Stomping Tom Connors, probably most famous for The Hockey
    Song. The first album is called Bring Your Own Plywood and features Calgary
    rock and country artists recording cover versions of songs written by Connors. Artists
    such as Agriculture Club, Knucklehead, and The Spam Avenger line up to record
    their favourite tunes from his monstrously large songbook. Then Eric talks
    about Unreleased Songs from the Vault Collection, Vol. 1 where Connors himself
    records some of his favourite classic country and folk songs he originally sang
    when he started out in the fifties. Using just his guitar and voice, he turns
    his focus to well known and loved songs such as the Darktown Strutter’s Ball,
    Truck Drivin’ Man, and Swanee River. Originally planned to be a 10 volume set,
    Connors unfortunately passed away after only the first volume was released.Thanks
    again to Eric for another fine program. You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in

  • Love That Album Episode 80 - Interview with Bill Frisell

    Welcome to episode 80 of Love That Album podcast.Due to time commitments this month, I am using the

    opportunity to bring you a couple of old interviews from 2001 that I did during
    my time at a local public access station. I am extremely proud of these interviews
    and I hope you dig them.On this episode, I am presenting a chat I had with one of my
    most favourite musicians ever, Bill Frisell. He is one of those few musicians
    whose style is instantly identifiable. Regardless of whether you’ve heard a
    particular tune or not, you KNOW it’s Frisell when you hear the music play.
    He’s known as a jazz and country player, but also as someone who loves sonic
    experiments. He’s been a session man for many (including Marianne Faithfull,
    Elvis Costello, and Ginger Baker), written the music for the Far Side animated
    series as well as for new scores for Buster Keaton films, and played with
    multiple ensembles of his own.Since this interview was recorded, he’s recorded many more
    albums and has toured Australia (the question of a tour is brought up in the
    chat). In 2001 he put out two brilliant albums (including one with Elvin Jones,
    drummer for John Coltrane!!!!!) He was a charming and very humble interview
    subject. I loved having this chat, and I hope you dig it too.Bruce Wooley and The Camera Club  is the focus of Eric Reanimator’s “Album I
    Love” segment. He talks about their album English Garden. “Who are they?” you
    ask. “Have they done anything I’d know?” Abso-bloody-lutely. Eric will reveal
    all.You can

  • Love That Album: The Compilation Edition Episode 18 - Sinful Goldmine

    It’s time for episode 18 of Love That Album: The

    Compilation Edition.
    Now, Love That Album has not officially taken part in the
    Sleazy Summer project being run by many of our favourite podcasts in our
    community, but in the spirit of Sleazy Summer, Eric Reanimator want s to
    discuss a little bump and grind with you in the first half of the show.
    Remember when rock and roll was about sex and honking saxophones????? The
    compilers of the Sin Alley series of albums surely do. Sleaze doesn’t belong
    exclusively to the cinema….it belongs on your record player. This album gives
    us 50s tunes from the likes of Myron Lee and the Caddies, Tony Casanova, and
    the Frantics Four. Oh yeah, get out that table leg and a tub of margarine baby…..
    For the second half, Eric discusses something a little less
    sleazy…or does he? We all know songs from the glam era from the likes of T-Rex,
    David Bowie and The Sweet. How about groups like Iron Virgin or The Plod? You
    will surely know Tartan Horde – trust me you do!!! Eric discusses the songs
    from these groups and many others on a compilation called Velvet Tinmine
    bringing you great but forgotten songs from the glam era.
    I just wish to reiterate how grateful I am that Eric is a
    continuing part of Love That Album bringing his time and knowledge for us all
    to dig on. Thank you good sir.

  • Love That Album Episode 79 - Interview with Marshall Crenshaw

    Episode 79 of Love That Album is ready for your aural

    pleasure.
    I am presenting a couple of episodes this month with
    interviews I did way back in 2001 while doing a summer fill-in on a local
    public access radio station in Melbourne. It was really exciting to get the opportunity to
    speak to a couple of musical titans in my listening development, and I think it
    was high time to present these to listeners of the podcast.
    This time around, I am presenting my interview with American
    songwriter, musician, radio show presenter, and writer of a music-related film
    encyclopedia, Marshall Crenshaw. Over 35 years, he has given the pop loving
    world a bunch of great records. Most recently he has been doing a show on WFUV
    called The Bottomless Pit and has released a series of crowd funded 10-inch 45
    rpm records. This interview was recorded just prior to his release of his brilliant
    and reflective album What’s In The Bag. Have a listen and hear Marshall discuss
    his thoughts on his recorded legacy, playing John Lennon and Buddy Holly, and
    the Lenny Kaye “Nuggets” albums.
    Eric Reanimator presents his Album I Love segment discussing
    Swedish garage band The Strollers (I never knew Eric dug Swedish garage bands!!!)
    and their album Falling Right Down. The world needs more farfisa organs I say.
    The Strollers happily agree.
