It's time for
episode 112 of Love That Album. I've gone walkabout this month, but my great
friend and music fiend Dave Blom returns to take over the show.
Another Australian
band with a massive debut album from possibly the last wave of really big album
sales. This 2003 album was the result of a perfect storm of factors for the
members of Jet. The success that The Vines had (subject of previous Dave Blom
LTA podcast) led to record companies searching for more Australian rock. Jet
were in the right place at the right time, they had a sound that was radio
friendly, they were visually marketable and they had some really good singles.
So Jet cashed in on their opportunity and the result was Get Born.
The album itself
whilst not overly original or innovative has many highlights and makes for some
very good listening. The main thing that this album has going for it is
passion. Jet wear their hearts on their sleeves and aren't afraid to
demonstrate exactly who influenced their music. It's time to Get Re-born once
more.
Eric keeps the high
energy up for his Album I Love segment to talk about the music of Finnish group
The Flaming Sideburns.
My HUGE gratitude
to Dave for bringing some class to the show. I'll be back to ramble on next
month.
