Love That Album

  Punk Rock, early 80s style. That's what Eric is covering this time around with coverage of the Welcome to 1984 and Not So Quiet On The Western Front compilation albums. Both feature bands from the early 80s when punk had evolved from the revved up styles of the 70s and become the so called Hard Core era. The bands on these comps are raw, in your face and filled with energy and attitude. Maybe they’re albums for our times.   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 rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum

An announcement about the delay of this month's (January 2017) episode and what will come in Feburay.

  Welcome to the episode 35 of LTA: The Compilation Edition.   It's 2017 and Eric is starting it off with thunder, lightning and the rumble of Hard Rock, Heavy and Thrash Metal.   Starting off with the German comp, King Solomon's Goldmine featuring 70s hard rock, Punk, Kraut Rock and even some Pop Rock. Following that is discussion of the 18 Headbangers From The 80's comp which features everything from top tier metal acts like Black Sabbath (the Dio fronted version) to Judas Priest alongside 80s pop metal acts Ratt and White Lion and assorted oddballs including Eric’s beloved King’s X.    Jumping to another type of comp Eric next talks about Dave Grohl’s 2004 project Probot. Grohl wanting a good old fashioned (read 80s) style metal record set out to record a group of songs featuring a number of different metal singers including: Lemmy, Wino (The Obsessed), Snake (Voivod) and Lee Dorrian (Cathedral).     Finally, there’s a covers album by the band October 31. Metal Massacre 31 contains 10 covers of songs that appeared on the Metal Massacre comps during the 1980s.    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 rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum

So if 2016 were to sing The Angels’ “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?”, what would you reply? Wrong!!! The answer is “I’ll let you know after I’ve listened to episode 97 of Love That Album podcast”.   It’s time for the annual roundup of favourite albums heard for the first time over the year. I’m joined by host of LTA: The Compilation Edition, Eric Reanimator, and my See Hear podcast co-host Bernard Stickwell. Our lists cover country, funk, punk, jazz, rock….. and surf music. Not only that, but some very kind LTA listeners also chime in with their favourite albums heard this year. Join us for a fun filled episode.   I want to thank anyone who joined me on a show, steered the show while I took a break, listened to a show, provided feedback or recommended the show to someone else. Without you, the show would be dull and only heard by my cat.   2017 will see the recording and release of episode 100 – not a landmark I aimed for when I started in 2011. Now it’s around the corner, and I’m very excited.   I wish all listeners and participants a safe New Year. Let’s meet up again in 2017.   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 rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum     If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.

Welcome to the episode 34 of LTA: The Compilation Edition.   Okay, enough of that It's the end of a very strange and tough year, so goodbye 2016, and we'll be glad to see you go. This time however Eric takes a moment to reflect back on the year, talk about some comps and pay tribute to one of those we lost.   The comps covered in this ep are a sketchy mass produced 70's Pop thing called “70's Pop Generation: Dancing in the City” featuring a couple of one hit wonders, some also rans and a few old ball tunes. Then, Eric goes totally out of his wheelhouse and talks about some electronic music covering the cassette tape release of Ghost Car Records 2008 to 2010, a synthwave reissue on the Swedish Columbia label. There is some talk about too much stuff to listen to .. blah blah blah... and then a few words about the man who fell to earth and we’re out... 2016 is done...    NOTE: The final “regular” edition of Love That Album featuring a round table of favourite first time listens for 2016 will be out in the week between Christmas and New Year (or the week of Channukah).   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 rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum   If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.

Episode 96 of Love That Album is available....and like a bridge over troubled water, it will ease your mind.   Maurice is joined by Ben Eisen ofthe All Time Top Ten podcast to discuss the final two studio albums from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, 1968's "Bookends" and 1970's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". Their Everly Brothers inspired vocal harmony blend, combined with Simon's songwriting and Garfunkel's fragile vocal style make them a truly unique pairing. Their albums to this point had already yielded classic songs still recalled to this day,but both Bookends and Bridge not only further demonstrate their way with great songs, but also stylistically advance into directions Simon would continue to explore in his solo career.   Ben and Maurice talk about their introduction to S & G and what keeps them listening to these albums throughout their lifetimes. The only thing missing is the two of them harmonising......but they chose not to do so, because they wantedtokeep their listeners satisfied........   Eric Reanimator's "Album I Love" segment covers the the Crash Test Dummies. The band is more than just that (admittedly great) hit Mmm,Mmm, Mmm,Mmm.   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 rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum   If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.   You can catch episodes All Time Top Ten by searching on iTunes or going to http://alltimetopten.podomatic.com   If you want to check out, Ben's own duo Lovers and Poets featuring his wife and very fine songwriter Shannon Hurley (also a previous LTA host),you can do so by going to http://loversandpoets.bandcamp.com/

Welcome to episode 95 of Love That Album. To some folks in the podcasting world, we’re in the month of Shocktober. At LTA headquarters, it’s Jazztober and Maurice is celebrating by doing the second Jazz Mystery Box episode (Check out LTA #84 with Terry Frost for the first one). Maurice has picked three jazz albums from his collection he wants to notify the podcast listening world about, and then proceeds to do just that.What are the albums? THAT is the mystery. Download the show and find out. Maurice make no claims to being a jazz expert – there are people who know a ton more than he does, both in the history and the music theory of jazz.All he's doing is using his enthusiasm for these albums to get some recommendations across. Eric Reanimator gets his jazz mojo working with his Album I Love segment to talk about the jazz soundtrack for the 1988 Mike Figgis film, “Stormy Monday”. You truly don’t have to be a jazz fan to dig this episode….but of course if you are, you should still enjoy.
