  • Love That Album: The Compilation Series - Episode 4 - Happy Pub

    Welcome to episode 4 of the LTA: Compilation Series podcasts
    hosted by Eric Reanimator. This episode is called Happy Pub.
    This time around Eric is discussing a couple of albums
    focussing on British pub rock. First of all he talks about Elizabeth McQueen
    and the Firebrands with their tribute album to pub rock from 2005 called “Happy
    Doing What We’re Doing”. Then he goes right to the source with the compilation
    “Pub Rock: Paving The Way For Punk” featuring artists like Ian Dury, Brinsley
    Schwartz and the 101’ers (with a pre-Clash Joe Strummer)
    As always, Eric delivers a truly fascinating show. He
    contextualises the music describing the circumstances that led to pub rock in
    England. When young artists wanted to bring back pure raw energy to make
    exciting music (in much the same way rock and rollers from the 50s did), as an
    alternative to the musicians who were showing their chops through Progressive
    Rock, Pub Rock was created. As a side note, the pub has long been the breeding
    ground for most great Australian rock. I hope to discuss this with Eric on a
    future show.
    I urge you to give Eric your time. His shows are not just
    podcasts, but audio documentaries. They are well thought out and you come away
    knowing something new.

  • Love That Album episode 61 - Richard and LindaThompson "Shoot Out The Lights"

    What do Lamb of God, REM, Weddings Parties Anything, Neko Case,
    Gerry rafferty and Iron Maiden have to do with Richard and Linda Thompson and
    their 1982 masterpiece “Shoot Out The Lights”? Some of the links are actually
    very tenuous, but they’re brought up nevertheless in episode 61 of Love That
    Album, which is devoted to discussing said masterpiece. I am joined by the
    Knife Licker himself, Mr John Ross co-host of the wonderful Feed My Ears
    podcast to talk about just happy subjects as infidelity, death, marriage woes,
    and amusement park rides. Join us!!! We had a lot to talk about including the
    back story behind the recording of the record.
    Eric Reanimator is back on board for his Album I Love
    segment to talk some more excellent Swedish rock. This time he brings us some
    Hellacopters action with their EP Strike Like Lightning.

  • Love That Album Bonus Episode – The Compilation Series Ep:3 - A Fistful of Country

    Eric Reanimator presents episode number 3 in the Love That Album Compilation Album series of podcasts. Once again, Eric truly sets a high benchmark for informative music discussion.

     
    First up, Eric discusses Volume 3 of the Columbia Country Classics set. This set is heavy on telling stories – something country music does so well and features tunes from the likes of Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins.
     
    Then, he talks about the first volume of a high energy punk / garage series of albums called A Fistful of Rock and Roll with songs from groups like The Bell Rays, El Diablo, and Rocket City Riot.
     
    Once again, Eric takes you on a fascinating journey through two very stylistically different compilations. Tune into what he has to say.

  • Love That Album episode 60 - The Livingstone Daisies "Don'tKnow What Happiness Is" and The Grapes "Western Sun"

    Welcome to episode 60 of Love That Album. At the end of
    2013, two of my favourite albums came from Melbourne bands, and I discuss both
    of them with their songwriters.
    First of all, The Livingstone Daisies brought a slice of
    harmony laden pop goodness into the world with “Don’t Know What Happiness Is”
    (their fans did after hearing it). I speak with the Daisies’ songwriter Van
    Walker, who has recorded a number of albums in his own right about how this
    supergroup came into being and this wonderful record. Think Teenage Fanclub,
    and you’ll get the idea.
    Then, I speak to Sherry Rich who has made a myriad of great
    albums with her own bands (including members of Wilco), but along with Even’s
    Ash Naylor has reformed The Grapes. They put out a perfect pop album in 1999,
    and then released another wonderful country / pop hybrid album 14 years later
    called Western Sun. We speak about both records as well as Sherry’s time in
    Nashville.
    Eric Reanimator returns with his Album I Love segment
    discussing all girl power pop band The Barbarellas with their aptly titled Queens
    of the Galaxy. Fans of Thee Ultra Bimboos will dig.

    You can get the Livingstone Daisies’ Don’t Know What Happiness Is
    album from  http://livingstonedaisies.bandcamp.com/album/dont-know-what-happiness-is-digital-download-limited-edition-12-vinyl-or-cd
    Both albums are also available on iTunes.

  • Love That Album Bonus Episode – The Compilation Series Ep:2 Rip Stagediving

    Eric Reanimator presents episode number 2 in the Love That
    Album Compilation Series of podcasts, and it is hugely entertaining and
    informative.
    This time he discusses two albums. The first is Rip It Up
    and Start Again, a compilation covering the post punk era of artists such as Cabaret
    Voltaire and The Human League, following in the wake of the initial wave of
    punk . He points out convincingly it’s subsequent influence on goth and indie
    rock.
    Stagediving to the Oldies from 1995 covers second wave LA
    Punk covers bands like The Circle Jerks, The Vandals and Agent Orange. Eric
    feels that the LA punk scene never got its due, and this compilation is going
    some way to redress that.

  • Love That Album episode 59 - Ross Wilson's "Dark Side of the Man" and The Saints' "All Fools Day"

    Welcome to episode 59 of Love That Album. Joining me at LTA Headquarters
    is show regular, Michael Pursche (of Sitting In A Bar In Adelaide podcast). We
    discuss a couple of fine Australian pop albums from the eighties.
    Firstly, we talk about a surprisingly neglected album of a
    major artist – Ross ‘The Boss’ Wilson’s “Dark Side of the Man” from 1989. We
    follow up with The Saints’ 1986 album “All Saints Day” – a long way from their “I’m
    Stranded” debut. Both albums are from artists who’d been on the music scene for
    a while and had changed direction. Echoes of LTA episode 58’s discussion on
    Bruce Springsteen’s album High Hopes hang over both these records. Tune into
    the show and discover why.
    As usual, Eric Reanimator contributes another wonderful
    Album I Love segment, discussing The Damned’s “Black Album” from 1980. Like The
    Saints, they were a punk band looking for different directions to travel.
    …and we got some real honest to goodness feedback…..YAY!!!!!

  • Love That Album Bonus Episode - The Comp Series Ep:1 - Songs The Cramps Taught Us

    Hey folks,
    Here’s an exciting new development at LTA headquarters. As
    you know, Eric “Reanimator” Peterson has been doing his Album I Love segment
    for the show for quite a large part of its history. I asked Eric if he was
    interested in doing an ongoing series of bonus episodes for the show, and I am
    thrilled to present to you the first episode of these bonus shows – Love That
    Album: The Compilation Series.  These
    shows will concentrate on great compilations, be they movie soundtracks,
    stylistic compilations, artist box sets..whatever takes Eric’s fancy.
    ….and what a corker of a start.  First episode around he discusses the three brilliant
    albums under the name “Songs The Cramps Taught Us”. This is a great collection
    of rockabilly, rock and roll, surf…all the things that influenced The Cramps’
    own recordings. This is a fascinating show. Please listen to these bonus shows
    and give Eric your support. I look forward to hearing more from him. The AIL
    for the main shows will continue.
    The bonus episodes run off the same RSS Feed as the regular
    episodes.

  • Love That Album episode 58 - Bruce Springsteen - High Hopes

    Episode 58 of the Love That Album podcast has finally shaken off the curse….yes, Dr Geoff Smith has finally overcome internet dropouts, Skype collapse, my previously poor file editing skills – all collectively known as the Hiatt Curse – to join John Stirrat and myself to discuss some BROOOOOCCCCE. This is Love That Album’s third Bruce-cast. (Check out episodes 1 and 17 for further Springsteen0related chat).

    Since the beginning of the 21st Century, Bruce Springsteen has found new strength and purpose. He’s been touring heavily with the beloved E Street band, and recorded (for a major artist in the current age of rock) at a prolific rate. Early 2014 has seen him release High Hopes, an album some believe should be called Tracks 2. It’s a collection of songs written over the last 10 years that didn’t make the cut on previous recordings, as well as some interesting covers. We grapple the big questions: Does the album work as one artistic statement or is it just a grab bag of songs that have no connection? Is he following similar lines to Wrecking Ball or does he cut a different path? Is the E Street Band the most hip-shaking, love-making, Viagra-taking musical entity on the planet? There is much discussion on the current tour of Australia, the last decade of Bruce-related music, and if Bruce is an overtly political songwriter.
    Eric Reanimator’s “Album I Love” segment appropriately for a Bruce show is Alejandro Escovedo’s 2008 album Real Animal.
    You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for “love that album”. You can stream or download it at “http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com”.
     
    Send me any feedback at [email protected] (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum and let us know your thoughts on your favourite BROOOCCCE moments.
     
    I’d be hugely grateful for any iTunes reviews should you be so kind to submit one.

  • Love That Album episode 57 - Michael Kiwanuka's "Home Again" and Mac Demarco's "2"

    Welcome to episode 57 of the Love That Album podcast, the first for
    2014.
     I am joined by long time supporter but first time participant Will
    Smith of the wonderful Gentlemen’s Guite To Midnite Cinema podcast. We discuss
    albums by two songwriters who are still early into their careers. First up, we
    discuss, soul stylist Michael Kiwanuka’s “Home Again” (2012), then we chat
    about Mac Demarco’s album “2” (2013). Both artists definitely display their
    love of artists that have inspired them, but cleverly meld the music into
    something all their own. Kiwanuka’s album is a beautiful introspective look
    into faith and hope without hitting anyone over the head with his beliefs.  On the other hand, Demarco creates a sound
    that may appeal to fans of Ween. He’s got a healthy sense of humour, but as
    Will points out, there’s something dark hiding behind the Lynchian picket
    fences of his songs. Will and I look forward keenly to see what they will do
    next.
     Eric Reanimator returns for 2014 with his terrific Album I Love segment
    to discuss Janelle Monae’s concept album The Arch Android, based on Metropolis.
     NOTE: For the time being, Love That Album will be a monthly podcast. I
    have joined Tim Merrill and Wendi Freeman for a new monthly podcast about music
    related films called See Hear. I still get my dumb opinions out twice a month,
    but once per month for each podcast.
     You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for “love that
    album”. You can stream or download it at “http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com”.
     If you dig the show, I’d be ever so grateful for an
    iTunes review.
     Send me any feedback at [email protected]
    (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum and start a conversation on any new songwriters you’re excited about.

  • See Hear podcast Episode 1 - Hated:GG Allin and The Murder Junkies

    Welcome to episode 1 of the monthly See Hear podcast

    (hopefully only temporarily utilising the Love That Album podcast RSS feed while I work out issues with iTunes on the separate feed). Join your hosts,
    Wendi Freeman, Tim Merrill and Maurice Bursztynski as they discuss music
    related films – narrative or documentary.
    No gentle start for the team as they discuss the Todd
    Phillips documentary about notorious punk rock singer GG Allin. The film is not
    for the faint of heart (and our language may reflect the content discussed),
    but it is a fascinating look at a man who truly knew no boundaries in they way
    he lived his life. He is held in equal contempt and admiration by the public
    and ex-band members.
    My huge thanks and admiration to Max Bursztynski for
    composing the show’s theme tune and designing the show logo.
