Love That Album episodes

March 12, 2015 Love That Album - The Compilation Series: Episode 13: Another Deep Damned Hyped Seattle Comp
Okay, it’s time for Episode 13 of Love That Album: The
Compilation Series.
Eric has gone for a triple threat this time around, looking
at 3 albums covering the Seattle grunge scene. First of all he discusses Deep
Six (1986). This album came before the Sub Pop label and the Seattle scene was the
Seattle scene. It’s seen by some to be a very important album from the knowledge
of what was to come later featuring early Soundgarden and Melvins amongst
others.
Secondly, he discusses Another Damned Seattle Compilation
(1991) featuring bands from the seattle scene paying tribute to Eric’s beloved
The Damned. Bands are as diverse as Mudhoney and The Posies.
Finally, he talks about the soundtrack to a film about the
Seattle scene called Hype (1996) including tracks from Nirvana, Mudhoney, Green
River and the great Mark Lanegan.
Listen to Eric’s perspective. Dig some tunes and get educated.

February 21, 2015 Love That Album Episode 72 - Randy Newman - Sail Away
Welcome to episode 72 of Love That Album.
American songwriter, composer, pianist and singer Randy
Newman means different things to different people. If you’re 25 years or under,
you probably know him best as writer of some great songs for the Pixar films.
If you’re older, you may know him for his song writing that encompasses wit and
a healthy dose of cynicism, but also great beauty. A multitude of artists have
covered his songs (and two such artists are discussed on the show). His
arrangements are created for both orchestras and rock band. He is both
contemporary but belonging to an older tin pan alley tradition.
I am joined by the crew of the Stinking Pause podcast,
Scott and Charlie to discuss Newman’s
1972 album Sail Away. This album owes much to the family heritage of cinema
composition (Uncle Alfred Newman composed arguably the most recognisable piece
of movie music ever), but is also Randy’s very own corner of the family
business, as it were. He writes great first person narratives covering
religion, American policy, family roles, and dancing bears. I had a great chat
with Scott and Charlie, and hope you enjoy our discussion.
Eric Reanimator’s Album I Love segment covers the songbook
or Zager and Evans, most famous for their solitary hit “In The Year 2525”. He
makes a convincing case that the two albums they released have other worthwhile
songs crying for your attention.

February 11, 2015 Love That Album - The Compilation Series: Episode 12: Stiff Crazy Girls In The Wildwood
Welcome to
Episode 12 of Love That Album: The Compilation Series hosted by Eric
Reanimator.This time,
Eric is shouting from the mountain tops “Let’s hear it for the girls!!!” He is
looking at three very different compilations but with the common element being
women being the singing and performing focus. For starters, he’s discussing Flowers In The
Wildwood (Women In Early Country Music 1923-1939) released in 2003. This album has songs with gorgeous country harmonies
from artists (with exceptions like The Carter Family) that have long been
forgotten about. Next up, there’s Girl Crazy (1998), a compilation
of girl garage bands from the 90s, including one called Maow featuring a
drummer we all know and love (I’m calling YOU John Ross)….yup early Neko Case. Finally, there’s Stiff Nipples Vol.2 (1999), a compile of
unsigned female fronted bands from Norway. It’s stylistically mixed, but with
some cool bands like The Launderettes and the Barbarellas. As usual, Eric has dug up some gem albums to bring
to your attention. Give him your support and download this great episode. How
can you resist a show that ends with a song called I Wanna Jump Your Bones??? You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes

January 25, 2015 Love That Album Episode 71 - Joe Jackson - I'm The Man
It’s time for
episode 71 of Love That Album, the first in 2015 of the regular series.
I am joined by
first-time co-presenter David Daskal, (frequent co-host of All Time Top Ten and
vocalist for Best Of My Love, an L.A. based Eagles tribute band) to talk about
Joe Jackson’s second album I’m The Man (1979). He’d released his first album,
Look Sharp! earlier the same year to strong public interest. Jackson has always
put together great bands across his career, but this one was indeed a force of
nature featuring the exciting and frenetic
playing of Dave Houghton, Gary Sanford, and career-long bassist for Jackson, Graham Maby. David and I discuss our thoughts on Jackson,
the influence these musicians had on his sound, his career diversity, and of
course, the songs on I’m The Man.
Eric Reanimator
brings his first Album I Love segment for the year with Ball Hog Or Tug Boat by
ex Minutemen bass player Mike Watt.
I introduce a new
segment to play a song each show from any musicians in the Love That Album /
Feed My Ears community. Please feel free to send me a song of any genre that
you’ve recorded with a little information how folks can hear more of your work
or see you live. This episode around, I am playing a song from excellent
Melbourne power pop band The Wellingtons. Dig it.
…..and I received
not one but TWO pieces of feedback!!!!!!

January 14, 2015 Love That Album - The Compilation Series: Episode 11 – A Real Cool Pop
Happy New Year everyone. Love That Album podcast is back
again for 2015. We here at LTA headquarters will strive to continue to bring
you great music discussion.
We start the year off with an episode of LTA: The
Compilation Series hosted by Eric Reanimator…..and he’s bringing you a high
dose of energetic punk and garage sounds via two fantastic compilations.
First of all, Eric discusses an Australian compilation Do
The Pop!: The Australian Garage Rock Sound 1976-1987. Eric’s passion for Radio
Birdman was the starting point for him picking up on this brilliant 2 CD set,
but there’s a treasure trove of material here from the likes of the Hoodoo
Gurus, The Eastern Dark, The Saints, The Sunnyboys and a plethora of other
bands, mixing and influenced by the punk, garage and pop sounds of the 60s and 70s.
This corner of the world was making essential music all northern hemisphere
music fans of these genres need to pick up on. [As an adjunct, I’m hoping to
get an interview for a future LTA with the man who put this anthology together –
stay tuned].
Then, Eric goes to Sweden to tells us about the virtues of A
Real Cool Time Revisited: Swedish Punk, Pop and garage Rock 1982-1989.
Essentially, the Swedish equivalent of Do The Pop, it features bands like The Nomads,
The Crimson Shadows, The Bottle Ups, and The Creeps. Like the Australian bands,
the Swedes put out excellent material in a scene worked independently of the
Americans and the British. This is another terrific compilation worthy of your
attention.
Once again, Eric delivers the goods with intelligent music
discussion about music you truly need to hear. Listen to the podcast and be
convinced.

December 18, 2014 Love That Album episode 70 - Favourite albums heard in 2014 - with the Shooting the Shit crew
…..and so we
arrive at Love That Album episode 70 - the final show for 2014.We cannot
finish off a year without bringing the thunder that is the Shooting The Shit
crew. This is our only discussion for the year, but it’s EPIC. Eric Reanimator,
John Stirrat, Geoff Smith, Tim Merrill and myself go through our favourite
first time listens in 2014 – regardless of whether they were released this year
or not. Download and dig the suggestions of music from the crew for your
listening pleasure. We dub this special “I Still Know What Shit You Shot Last
Summer”. To make the recording more manageable, we recorded the show in two
halves with John and Tim in the first part, and Eric, Geoff and myself in the
second. Thanks again to these marvellous people for their time, music
suggestions, wit and friendship.It’s been
another fun year of music discussion podcasts with musically knowledgeable and
articulate people. Eric brought something new into the mix with his own
Compilation Series of LTA episodes every month, so effectively, there was some
new LTA content roughly every couple of weeks.I’d like to
thank every person who participated in a show or who listened to the show this
year. Without you folks, I’d be talking to Mimi my cat…..and she doesn’t even
care for music.I look
forward to starting this all up again in 2015. You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching
for “Love That Album”. You can also stream or download it at http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated –

November 25, 2014 Love That Album episode 68 - Jellyfish "Spilt Milk"
Love That Album episode 68 is here. Any of you who know me
know of my love for power pop…and in that regard, we have a gem of an album to
discuss.
I’m joined by Melbourne musician, teacher, and fellow power
pop nut Rhys Lett to discuss the 1993 album “Spilt Milk” from San Francisco
band, Jellyfish. This was a huge step forward from their brilliant debut,
“Bellybutton”, but was also unfortunately their final album. Was it due to
public or record company apathy, or band friction? In this regard, they share
the fate of their stylistic cousins, The Zombies and Big Star (both covered
previously on the podcast) who ceased active recording way too early.
They’ve had a lot of comparisons with Queen (for the rawwwwk
and drummer Andy Sturmer’s singing) and the Beach Boys’ harmonies. As valid as
these comparisons are, there is a lot more going on here. This could be
described as a concept album with the songs being parts of a nightmare – not
the bogeyman type, but more a domestic nightmare of infidelity, unrequited
crushes, depression, death, and evangelism. There’s also a song on Spilt Milk
that led Rhys to suggest Ben Eisen needs to pursue its subject matter in an All
Time Top Ten podcast. Tune in and find out what it was….
This time around, Eric Reanimator also discusses the
Psyclone Ranger’s album from 1993 “Feel Nice”. He describes this as power pop
bordering on punk. See what you think.

November 17, 2014 Love That Album - The Compilation Series: Episode 10 - Damned Lizzy
Congratulations to Eric Reanimator whose LTA offshoot, LTA:
The Compilation Series hits double digits.
Episode 10 of The Compilation Series focuses on pretty
different releases. By his own admission, the first album is dubiously discussed here as
a comp. It’s the 25th anniversary edition of The Damned’s “Machine
Gun Etiquette”. It qualifies because there’s a bunch of bonus tracks included
on this anniversary edition to complement the original album.
The second album is Dedication: The Very Best of Thin Lizzy.
They were a great mixture of hard rock, folk and pop, and mostly known for “The
Boys Are Back In Town”. However, this comp shows they had a lot of great
material (“Chinatown” is my personal favourite). Phil Lynott was a charismatic lead singer and
bassist.
Give Eric some love and listen to the show. Send him a note
of congrats for reaching the double digits on his excellent podcast.

November 09, 2014 Love That Album Episode 67 - Whitehorse - The Fate Of The World Depends On This Kiss
Welcome to Episode 67 of Love That Album. There are three
episodes of LTA coming this month (instead of the usual two). We here at LTA
headquarters hope you dig them all.
This time around I am welcoming back a recent guest to the
show, Scott Clickers (co-host with his wife Kat of the wonderful Married With
Clickers podcast). We’re discussing an album Scott introduced me to by Hamilton
based husband and wife group, Whitehorse. The name of the record from 2012 is
“The Fate Of The World Depends Upon This Kiss”. As you read that name, you
obviously are conjuring cinematic images in your head, right? Of course you
are. A great set of poppy / alt country tunes are contained on this album. Hear what we have to say about this great
little record.
Eric Reanimator returns to talk about the 1985 offering from
Blood On The Saddle called Poisoned Love. DIG IT!!!!
