Love That Album episode 70 - Favourite albums heard in 2014 - with the Shooting the Shit crew

…..and so we arrive at Love That Album episode 70 - the final show for 2014.

We cannot finish off a year without bringing the thunder that is the Shooting The Shit crew. This is our only discussion for the year, but it’s EPIC. Eric Reanimator, John Stirrat, Geoff Smith, Tim Merrill and myself go through our favourite first time listens in 2014 – regardless of whether they were released this year or not. Download and dig the suggestions of music from the crew for your listening pleasure. We dub this special “I Still Know What Shit You Shot Last Summer”. To make the recording more manageable, we recorded the show in two halves with John and Tim in the first part, and Eric, Geoff and myself in the second. Thanks again to these marvellous people for their time, music suggestions, wit and friendship.

It’s been another fun year of music discussion podcasts with musically knowledgeable and articulate people. Eric brought something new into the mix with his own Compilation Series of LTA episodes every month, so effectively, there was some new LTA content roughly every couple of weeks.

I’d like to thank every person who participated in a show or who listened to the show this year. Without you folks, I’d be talking to Mimi my cat…..and she doesn’t even care for music.

I look forward to starting this all up again in 2015.

Love That Album episode 69 - Favourite albums heard in 2014 - the LTA correspondents

It’s December 2014. Where the hell did the year go?????

As lots of podcasters, blog writers, and media folk like to do at this time of year, I like to assemble lists. Love That Album will present to you not one, but TWO episodes in December dedicated to favourite first time listens of 2014.

The first of these specials is episode 69. This is a blockbuster show where some fine people (most of whom have co-hosted previous LTAs) have taken the time to contribute segments telling me their favourite first time listens of the year. Listen, enjoy and take notes as to who you should follow up musically. Segment contributors include:

Will Smith (co host of Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema podcast)

Ben Eisen (host of All Time Top Ten podcast)

Jeff Jenkins (Melbourne music journalist and author, and co-host of first ever LTA)

Michael Pursche (host of Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide podcast)

Brian Nankervis (creator and co-host of SBS TV show Rockwiz)

Bill Pinnell (Rock expert, Triple-M FM Album Show host, segment contributor at Triple-R FM)

….and making his podcast debut

Max Bursztynski (pianist / bassist extraordinaire and Metal expert)

We even have an email from a listener to cite his favourite albums

My gratitude goes to all these wonderful people who gave willingly of their time to make a great LTA episode. You will have a plethora of suggested music to consider tracking down and enjoying from our team of experts.
