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