Love That Album Episode 184 - Record Store Memories Part 2

 

For those who haven't caught up with episode 183 of LTA, I came up with the idea of speaking with a range of previous guests from the show (musicians, podcasters, TV and radio broadcasters) to talk with me about their earliest recollections of walking into the sacred temple that is a record / CD store. I wanted to know what drew them to the stores they went to, what the guys / gals behind the counter were like, hijinks that went on in the stores, how their musical tastes were influenced by LPs they discovered for the first time in said stores.

Welcome to episode 184 of Love That Album.

I had 10 conversations with 11 people (was hoping for a 12th, but.......life happens). Too many for one episode, so I divided the conversations into two parts. For this second part of the recollections of record stores, I speak with the following magnificent bastards:

Eric “Reanimator” Peterson – ex-host of Love That Album: The Compilation Edition

Ben Eisen and Shannon Hurley – Host and Numbers Girl of All Time Top Ten podcast and partners in the duo Lovers And Poets

Mike White – Host of The Projection Booth and a ton of other great shows at Weirding Way Media

Michael Pursche – Host of Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide on Lofty 88.9 Radio in the Adelaide Hills

Tim Merrill – My co host at See Hear and all-round wonderful human being.

I had a marvelous time finding out a ton of things about their record stores, really a wonderful part of their personal history, and their towns' history. My thanks to all of them for being so willing to hang out with me for these conversations.

If you haven't yet checked out episode 183 to here more of these conversations, do that as well.....not at all required to appreciate 184, though, so listen in whatever order you please.

Love That Album Bonus Episode - The Comp Series Ep:1 - Songs The Cramps Taught Us

Hey folks,

Here’s an exciting new development at LTA headquarters. As you know, Eric “Reanimator” Peterson has been doing his Album I Love segment for the show for quite a large part of its history. I asked Eric if he was interested in doing an ongoing series of bonus episodes for the show, and I am thrilled to present to you the first episode of these bonus shows – Love That Album: The Compilation Series.  These shows will concentrate on great compilations, be they movie soundtracks, stylistic compilations, artist box sets..whatever takes Eric’s fancy.

….and what a corker of a start.  First episode around he discusses the three brilliant albums under the name “Songs The Cramps Taught Us”. This is a great collection of rockabilly, rock and roll, surf…all the things that influenced The Cramps’ own recordings. This is a fascinating show. Please listen to these bonus shows and give Eric your support. I look forward to hearing more from him. The AIL segment for the main shows will continue.

The bonus episodes run off the same RSS Feed as the regular episodes.

Love That Album Episode 45 - The Gentlemen's Guide to Midnight Punk

A real treat for you on episode 45 of Love That Album podcast – I’m not on it!!!

I’ve enlisted the services of show regulars Eric Peterson and Tim Merrill to talk about all things punk. They discuss their favourite bands, obviously, but there’s so much more going on here. They raise questions valid for fans of any music genre. Do punk/music icons belong in a museum? Is art maintained by the idea that generated it or by the fans who appreciated it? What do Little River Band and Black Flag have in common? Is new punk too streamlined when compared to the diversity of old punk? Should Gwyneth Paltrow be punk’s poster girl? Tim and Eric have a great time discussing all this and more, and I can tell you, it’s a fascinating and educational show. I urge you to listen and give them your support.

There’s plenty of music to accompany their discussion (it even comes in at the relevant parts of the discussion). They also find some time to discuss about what they’ve been listening to lately outside of punk.

Love That Album Episode 41 - Son of Shooting The Shit

Welcome to episode 41 of Love That Album aka “Son of Shooting The Shit”. Yep, in addition to the regular crew of Tim Merrill, Eric Peterson, and John Stirrat, we welcome special guest shit-shooter Thomas Deja to the world-wide round table.

Ever wonder where the old LTA segment of “What have You Been Listening to Lately” went? No??? Oh…(said he with a slightly wounded ego)… I’ll tell you anyway. It found a home at Shooting the Shit headquarters. In fact we spent so much time talking about our recent listening pleasures (with a myriad of diversions, it must be added) that this took up the whole show. It was a fascinating conversation, and thanks to the impeccable taste of my cohorts, I now have some new music to chase up.

We also play a tune from The Art of War, a band out of Geraldton, Western Australia, fronted by “Bad” James McDonald (known well to the Silva and Gold community). Dig it.

Oh, and have you ever wondered where my old technique of laying music underneath the discussion that didn’t actually correspond to what we were talking about went? Not that either, huh? Well, I’d better just shut up now.

My thanks go to the guys for their time and efforts into this episode.
