Love That Album Episode 78 - Skyhooks - Ego Is Not a Dirty Word (the album discussion)

Summary: <br> …and it’s time for episode 78 of Love That Album podcast. <br> Earlier this month, for episode 77, music journalist and biographer<br> Jeff Jenkins and I discussed the history behind the recording of the second<br> album by Melbourne band Skyhooks, “Ego Is Not a Dirty Word” celebrating 40<br> years since it was first released. Continuing LTA declared Skyhooks month, I am<br> joined by Michael Pursche, host of the Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide podcast<br> (itself named after a Skyhooks song), and Rhys Lett, head honcho at the Eastern<br> Suburbs School of Music in Melbourne to pontificate the actual album. We<br> discuss the songs, composition technique, lyrics, jazz vs pop chord<br> progressions, our first recollections of hearing the album and a myriad of<br> other things. Rhys even gets out his guitar to illustrate the cleverness of<br> Greg Macainsh and Red Symons’ composition style. I hope you enjoy listening as<br> much as we enjoyed chatting.<br> Eric Reanimator is back with his Album I Love segment. Trying to find a<br> complementary group for this show, he decided on Blue Oyster Cult and their<br> third album Secret Treaties.
