Love
That Album is baaaaaaack.
For
the second time in the show’s history, The Kinks are the focus of
the program (look for Episode 31 back in October 2012 where I was
joined by the wonderful Ben Eisen to talk about Something Else). For
episode 123, film and music writer extraordinaire, Heather Drain
returns to the episode 123 to talk about the Kinks’ album from
November 1970, “Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part
One”.
Of
course, being the gabblers that we are, many other Kinky related
topics get discussed. Bans from touring in America, Ray Davies as
documenter of British life, sarcasm vs heart-on-the-sleeve,
musicianship, the music business, environmentalism, a sweet love song
with a Kinks’ twist and the most singalong coda since hey Jude…it’s
all there. We even find tenuous links to our beloved Tubes.
You
can download the show from Spotify, Stitcher or iTunes (search for
“Love That Album podcast”) or from the website
at http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.
Once
again, I'd like to thank the wonderful Ms Drain for bringing her
great insight to the show. She's a terrific co-host. You can (and
should) follow her writings about music and film at
http:mondoheather.com and
https://diaboliquemagazine.com/
She has a book coming out later this year “The Bizarro
Encyclopedia of Film, Volume 1”....and if that isn't enough, she
appears frequently on the greatest film podcast around, The
Projection Booth Podcast hosted by Mike White.

you’d consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to
a friend at a barbecue / birthday bash / barmitzvah, we’d be
immensely grateful.
