….and then it's back to Sweden.. this time to talk about the 65 to 68 Garage Rock scene where Swedish youth took their shot at being the Beatles or the Stones and maybe, just maybe laid the ground work for the Swedish music scene to come... you know that Eric is running out of Swedish rock to talk about on this podcast so this might be you last chance to hear about that scene.. or not..

Either way tune in for your rock fix....

Love That Album podcast episode 91 - The Screaming Trees and The Mad Season

Welcome to episode 91s of Love that Album. While Maurice continues on his walkabout/vision quest, Eric Reanimator (of LTA: The Compilation Series) continues leading the show. For this episode, he is joined by creator of the Feed My Ears music discussion Facebook group, John Ross to talk about two classics of the grunge era..

They start the show by discussing the Screaming Trees’ “Sweet Oblivion” album from 1992. Featuring Mark Lanegan on vocals, the Screaming Trees were largely overlooked in their day despite being around at the right place and right time, securing a major label contract, and being an integral part of the Seattle scene.

Following the discussion of the Screaming Trees and a couple of digressions, they proceed to talk about the 1995 album “Above” by Mad Season.  A one album super-group project featuring members of Alice in Chains, The Screaming Trees, and Pearl Jam, Mad Season was recorded as an artistic response to the substance abuse issues in the Seattle scene.   While the album did well and contained a couple of well-known songs, the deaths of 2 of the bands members effectively ended the band. Eric and John discuss all of this and more.

Love That Album episode 89 - Interview with Darian Sahanaja of Wondermints and Brian Wilson’s Band

It’s time for episode 89 of Love That Album podcast.

Maurice is joined in discussion by Darian Sahanaja, the long time “music secretary” of Brian Wilson’s band. He is also one of the songwriters and keyboard player for Los Angeles pop maestros, Wondermints. Besides Darian, Nick Walusko, Mike D’Amico and Probyn Gregory have all been absorbed into Brian’s band.

The conversation took place while Darian was in Australia with Brian for a final tour playing Pet Sounds live. The conversation incorporated Darian’s early love of Beach Boys (and how it got him beat up), the great albums of Wondermints (including Mind If We Make Love To You and Bali), Austin Powers, Henry Mancini, 60s pop, lounge music, Darian’s involvement with the 40^th anniversary of The Zombies’ “Odessey and Oracle”, the nineties power pop movement….and a whole lot more.

Thanks so much to Darian for being so generous with his time. We hope all Love That Album listeners will enjoy this fascinating insight into this great musician.

This time around Eric goes deep into the well of his musical core, exploring three soundtracks that had a strong and important impact on his life.

First, the 1985 soundtrack for the film Return of the Living Dead which mixed punk rock, horror film themes alongside the emerging hard rock, retro fitted new wave and synth sounds of the era.

Next is the soundtrack to Eric's beloved Punk Western Dudes with its mix of late 80s Punk, Hard Rock and the grumblings of what would become Alt Rock in the next several years.

Finally Eric talks about one of the biggest selling soundtracks of the 90s... Singles (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) ... and touches on the film, the time, and his recollection of the era.... enjoy.
