Love That Album Episode 77 - Skyhooks - 40th anniversary of Ego Is Not a Dirty Word
Summary: <br> Welcome to episode 77 of Love That Album podcast.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> July 2015 is the 40th anniversary of the release of the<br> classic second album by Melbourne band Skyhooks. That album, Ego Is Not A Dirty<br> Word came a mere 8 months after the release of their amazing and huge selling<br> debut Living In The Seventies. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> To commemorate the occasion, Love That Album<br> will dedicate two episodes this month to this important record. In episode 77, I am joined by the man who authored the Skyhooks<br> biography, Ego Is Not a Dirty Word (and who co-hosted the very first episode of<br> LTA with me), music journalist, Jeff Jenkins. This episode is not so much a<br> discussion of the album itself (that will come in episode 78), but puts into<br> some historical perspective the Australian musical environment in 1975, how<br> Skyhooks approached their second album, the different dynamics in the band<br> personalities, whether they came out on top in the infamous Skyhooks / Sherbert<br> Wars of 1975, and where you could musically go after your first album included<br> a song about masturbating into a Twisties packet. We had a really terrific<br> conversation, and I’m grateful to Jeff for taking the time to come back to the<br> podcast.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> You can<br> download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or<br> downloading streaming directly from <a href="http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.au/">http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.au</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Send the<br> show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the<br> Facebook group at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum">http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Jeff’s weekly articles for The Music magazine can be found archived at <a href="http://www.livinginthelandofoz.com/howzat-archive.html">http://www.livinginthelandofoz.com/howzat-archive.html</a><br> His latest biography is about Australian music personality Ian “Molly” Meldrum<br> called “The<br> Never, Um, Ever Ending Story: Life, Countdown and Everything in Between”. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> If you’d<br> consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, I’d be<br> immensely grateful.<br> <br>
