Folks! There are some big goings-on in the ATTT universe these days. Thankfully we get by with a little help from people like our friend Joe Lavelle, who has graciously volunteered to help bring back a format we haven't used in a while but are excited to dust off for your listening pleasure. As we all know, the best podcasts never prepare anything and just wing it. Well in a roundabout way that's what we're up to around here. Emergency Pod turns All Time Top Ten into a "Who's Line Is It Anyway"-style improv game where instead of "yes and", our phrase is "check out this amazing song that I just pulled out of thin air". Joe Lavelle has some improv experience so he's the perfect guest to help us bring the concept back, and we promise to keep Emergency Pod going with monthly bonus episodes on Patreon.Patreon is back! We're cooking up monthly installments of Emergency Pod exclusively for our Patreon People. $5 a month gets you full access!https://www.patreon.com/alltimetoptenCheck out the Spotify playlist for this episode and see if you can make it make sense:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7lRsjz0FUMiwpafvmh02rm?si=82aecd01262a4867Thanks to all who have joined the ATTT Podcast Music Chat over on Facebook Groups.

We tend to think more of the guitar as a rock and roll instrument, but Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Fats Domino were a big part of the early sound of rock and roll. While there are plenty of great rock piano players, that lead guy or gal mostly tends to be playing a six-string. In the 70s and 80s, the big piano frontmen were Billy Joel and Elton John – hugely popular with what they did, but much (though not all) of it was balladry. Where were the trouble-makers and the pisstakers behind the 88s? One of them was hiding out in North Carolina. Welcome to episode 171 of Love That Album. By 2000, Ben Folds Five had broken up, leaving behind three incredible albums of “punk music for sissies” (Ben's alleged description of the band). They'd created songs both raucous and tender, angry and loving, serious and funny. In 2001, Ben Folds released his first solo album “Rockin' The Suburbs” (recorded in Adelaide), and he plays and sings nearly everything. Once again, he aimed for your funny bone, but he also told stories that could break your heart. These stories showed once again that Folds was a master of melody, harmony and was very literate. For this episode, I am joined by the host and “numbers girl” of the wonderful All Time Top Ten podcast, Ben Eisen and Shannon Hurley. We sit around the virtual table discussing Folds' techniques in composition and arrangement, his potty mouth, the seeming contrast between the man who could write both The Luckiest and Song For The Dumped, and real life stories from the suburbs about everyday people brought to life in this collection of short stories – love spurned, love embraced, parenthood, mental health, and cussing on the mic. My huge thanks to both Ben and Shannon for being such great partners for this discussion about a performer who we all love. We never even mention the one song seemingly everyone knows….because Folds is so much more than that one song. I won't let it be 3 years before Ben and Shannon rock the mics with me on LTA again.

For a little more than 4 years, the All Time Top Ten Patreon Club put out monthly bonus episodes to the delight of dozens of people! As we say thanks, we salute the fine upstanding members of the ATTT Patreon Club. To honor those who believed in the show enough to put their money where their mouth was and contributed anywhere from $2 to $10 a month, we're giving the Club an official send-off by giving our astute $10 tier members the last say in a bunch of songs that have been played 4 times previously on the show, and we give those songs the retirement they deserve. Once you've been played 5 times on the show, you're given the gold jacket and golf club membership you richly deserve, never to appear on All Time Top Ten again. Anyway help us say goodbye to some great songs and give those who truly believed in the show their due.Check out this incredible playlist on Spotify. As about as good as it gets.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2rFCO3OwilLYomg86Rww6C?si=27f124f9843c4244

Holy cow we need to do this more often. In fact we will. In what will soon be an annual tradition, the main heavies of All Time Top Ten history are in one place at the same time. We're feeling proud to have made such a fun-to-make and long-running podcast, and we want to pay tribute to the show itself by doing a topic suggested by one of our old Patreon Pals, a guy named Ari. This is Top Ten Songs That Could Be The All Time Top Ten Theme Song, a perfect topic for getting the gang together for some heightened ridiculousness. Gabe Scalone, David Daskal, The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake, Joe Lavelle, Matt Dinan, Dustin Prince and the lovely and/or talented Shannon Hurley are all here. This motley-looking crew takes a stab at songs that embody the show, however you might interpret that. Since there's 8 of us, we had to expand things to 16 picks, with picks 16-9 featured in Part 1.Follow all of these good-hearted people on social media!Gabe - https://www.facebook.com/gabescaloneDavid - https://www.facebook.com/xyzyxRyan - https://www.instagram.com/soulsurfhb/Joe - https://twitter.com/JoeLavelleSongsMatt - https://www.instagram.com/frankensteinsjourney/Dustin - https://www.instagram.com/chrisdprince/Shannon - https://www.instagram.com/shannonsongs/

“I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don't like. Every time I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever” - Bob DylanIf you somehow need more convincing that Gordon is an all-time great, listen to the songs featured in this week's episode. The materfamilias herself Elizabeth Eisen aka Mrs. Eisen returns to All Time Top Ten with a warmhearted tribute to the late great Gordon Lightfoot, who sadly passed away on May 1st at the age of 84. We take a look back at the life and career of the Canadian legend, who wrote and performed some of the best songs ever written. "Gord", as he is affectionately known, was and is revered in Canada and beyond, and will be for all time.Get yourself familiar with Elizabeth Eisen the artist by visiting her Instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/eeisenaugust/Join ATTT for bonus episodes every month by joining us on Patreon!

“Creativity is a base element of the human soul.” So says Steven Leavitt, the host of the Language of Creativity podcast. In this very special episode, Steve's very first guest on the podcast flips the tables in this tell-all reverse interview guest-hosted by his long-time collaborator Adam Sears! As a music producer, Steve has helped Sears craft his last 3 projects with Progressive Rock band Lobate Scarp. Their 2016 recording of Beautiful Light has won awards and recognition as “a masterpiece” and in 2022 Steve Co-Executive Produced Lobate Scarp's latest album You Have It All. The ambitious full-length album has received high praise from reviewers and fans alike.  But it wasn't always easy… Steven was born into a family of motion-picture stunt performers but always felt way more at home in front of a microphone, piano or a mixing console. Steve began learning the piano at 8 years old “to express what I was feeling when I couldn't express it in words.” Lyrically blocked, bullied as a kid and extremely sensitive as a boy he was certainly an odd fit in a family that worked in such a rough and tumble industry. But he stuck with it, choosing to pursue audio engineering in college at Musician's Institute in Hollywood after realizing that there was an ideal career path for using his skills and talents: music producer. Steve graduated in 2000, unfortunately right as Napster was crashing the music industry. The dot-com bust made it hard to enter the job market (thanks Enron) so he began to freelance making websites, editing video demo-reels for stunt-people, and started working on films as a background precision driver. He recorded for independent musicians to build experience, joined a band, and edited videos for his dad's stunt-company producing “featurettes” with celebrity talent and assisted with MTV shoots. Steve kept a “web journal” before blogging got big and considered himself a multimedia artist a whole five years before the advent of YouTube. When he started Don't Call Us Tori in 2004, a music showcase he co-founded with with singer-songwriter Shannon Hurley, in Hollywood, Steve's music network really began to grow leading to a fateful introduction to Adam who approached Steve to produce his band's debut album Time and Space in 2008. The album's production coincided with what Steve describes as “an unexpected spiritual awakening” during the lead up to the album's 2012 release “that felt like I was coming home to myself.”  Adam talks with Steve about their very fruitful creative partnership and Steve's relentlessly perfectionistic work ethic in the studio. They discuss starting this podcast and how it has been a major creative outlet for Steve (he probably could have pursued a career in Radio). They talk about what it was like growing up attending “backflips down the aisles churches” and discovering hit singles on KIIS FM while coming of age thinking it's only okay to listen to Christian music but finding Christian grunge, loving Weird Al… about dropping out, burnout, ptsd, and… Just why the heck did Steve choose not to go into the stunt business? Steve shares  about learning the importance of infusing joy into your work, finding your inner creative spark, and how sometimes we can be doing the right thing while going about it the wrong way!

After 4 championships, its time to have that talk about Wardell Stephen Curry!

Guest host Ben Lyons and the guys do a deep dive on Giannis Antetokounmpo's first NBA title and explain why his win is the feel-good story of the year and why his approach to life should be inspiring to all.   Meadowlark Media's Amin Elhassan tells Ben if he regrets his post-Game 2 comments denigrating the Bucks and predicting their demise at the hands of the Suns, if Milwaukee's home-grown approach will lead NBA teams away from the Super Team trend, why he was NOT a fan of Suns' head coach Monty Williams going into the Bucks' locker room after the game to thank his opponents, and why you should check out his “Cinephobe” podcast if you're a fan of very bad movies.     Ben and the guys wrap up the hour wondering which current NBA player is most likely to crack the NBA's All-Time Top Ten list when his career is done.

The word "infallible" doesn't describe too many people who have walked this planet over the years. In fact, we can't think of a single person in history that never made a mistake. To paraphrase Dylan, sometimes even the pope must have to stand naked. In that spirit, special guest DJ Morty Coyle brings his peculiar brand of off-wit back to All Time Top Ten to discuss the infallibility of some artists and bands that we revere. Nobody's perfect, and Top Ten Rage-Inducing Songs From Bands We Love proves it. We apologize for the length of this episode, it's just something that happens when Morty is around but you'll laugh your ass off as you endure the latest in our once-a-year suckfest series, which highlights some of the greatest bands and artists of all time stinking up the joint, which is something that even the best of the best are subject to now and again.

Welcome back to part two of our All Time Top Ten as Gemma, Ollie and I share our picks from 5 to 1. Enjoy!

So many musicians have become popular based on one thing the caught the public's imagination. Daring to try something different artistically could be a “bad career move”. Of course, some musicians might have been “hiding in plain sight” with their real artistic ambitions all along.Welcome to episode 142 of Love That Album, the first episode for 2021.Michael Nesmith along with Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz spent the latter half of the sixties rallying against the image bequeathed on them by NBC and Don Kirshner. The Monkees wanted to show that they could be (and were) a real band. Right from the start, Mike would infuse his own songwriting with his love of country music.However, country is only a small part of the Monkees' own sound. When he announced he was quitting (4 days after McCartney announced The Beatles were no more), he already had plans for his next ensemble, The First National Band. Over a period of a little over a year, they released three brilliant albums, allowing Nesmith to finally make his approach to country music the focus.I am joined by musician, songwriter, comedian and regular co host on All Time Top Ten Podcast, Joe Lavelle to look at the first of those First National Band albums, Magnetic South. Of course we look at a range of things peripheral to the album like The Monkees (duh!), the real origins of country rock, being a musician known for comedy (and a pioneer in music video), Brazil and the link between Magnetic South and Star Trek.It took a year to get around to this episode (I move slower than zombies in a George Romero film), but it was worth it. Joe is a great conversation partner – something you'd know if you've heard him on the ATTT podcast. It was a pleasure and privilege for me to finally have him on the show.You can find the music for his jazz ensemble Brandy Sidecar at https://brandysidecar.bandcamp.com/album/the-christmas-3-epBen Eisen's All Time Top Ten podcast can be found at https://alltimetoptenpod.com/Download this episode of LTA from Spotify, Stitcher or iTunes (search for “Love That Album podcast”).Love That Album is proudly part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

However, it'd be even better if you told a friend about the podcast and Pantheon – at a (socially distanced) barbecue, over coffee (on Skype), on social media….whatever way you choose, consider me grateful.

Of course we look at a range of things peripheral to the album like The Monkees (duh!), the real origins of country rock, being a musician known for comedy (and a pioneer in music video), Brazil and the link between Magnetic South and Star Trek. It took a year to get around to this episode (I move slower than zombies in a George Romero film), but it was worth it. Joe is a great conversation partner – something you'd know if you've heard him on the ATTT podcast. It was a pleasure and privilege for me to finally have him on the show.

So many musicians have become popular based on one thing the caught the public's imagination. Daring to try something different artistically could be a “bad career move”. Of course, some musicians might have been “hiding in plain sight” with their real artistic ambitions all along. Welcome to episode 142 of Love That Album, the first episode for 2021. Michael Nesmith along with Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz spent the latter half of the sixties rallying against the image bequeathed on them by NBC and Don Kirshner. The Monkees wanted to show that they could be (and were) a real band. Right from the start, Mike would infuse his own songwriting with his love of country music. However, country is only a small part of the Monkees' own sound. When he announced he was quitting (4 days after McCartney announced The Beatles were no more), he already had plans for his next ensemble, The First National Band.

Dee and Rude Dogg unveil their All Time Top Ten lists of New York Anthems.... Fun commentary, Brash Opinions and And A Ending that's well Worth the Wait

Ken Hunt joined Brown's coaching staff in 2012 and coaches the men's and women's horizontal jumps, vertical jumps, and multi-events. Hunt was promoted to the position of Associate Head Coach of Track and Field/Anne Rothenberg Assistant Coaching Chair in September of 2020. 

Entering into his eighth season in 2019-20, the Bears have made stellar improvements under Hunt's direction, highlighted by four NCAA All-Americans in each of the past four years consisting of Carly Paul (2019 - heptathlon, 2018 - High Jump), Shanelle DeJournett (2017 - High Jump) and O'Sha Williams in (2016 - Triple Jump). Hunt has coached five total All-Americans at Brown, as well as 47 performers onto Brown University's All-Time Top Ten list, ten school records, and ten NCAA Regional qualifiers.

Hunt was named the Northeast Region Women's Assistant Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for the 2019 outdoor season. He guided his athletes to 51 of the team's 59 points at the Ivy League Championships and coached Carly Paul to the all-time Ivy League record in the heptathlon at 5,632 points and was a national qualifier in the event. In addition, Hunt's long jumpers went 1-2-3 at Heps and four long and one high jumper all advanced to the NCAA East Preliminary meet, while the long jump quad ranked fourth in the nation.

Hunt coached Carly Paul to a standout season in 2017-18, as she captured the Ivy League pentathlon and heptathlon league titles and broke four school records over the course of both track & field seasons. Williams and Paul were named the recipients of the Marjorie Brown Smith Award as Brown's outstanding female varsity athlete of the year in 2016 and 2018, respectively.  Prior to Brown, Hunt spent the 2011-2012 season at LSU, having a hand in the team's NCAA National Outdoor Track Championship and 12 NCAA Individual Qualifiers. Prior to his year at LSU, Hunt coached the sprints, hurdles and jumps at Georgia Southern University. During the 2010 season, his event group won four individual titles and scored 163 of the team's 184 points at the Southern Conference Indoor and Outdoor Championships.He coached Lynndsey Hyter, who achieved Southern Conference history as the first woman to win the Indoor Pentathlon three straight times as well as three times. Hyter recorded the second-highest point total in the championships. Every student-athletes who compete in jumps recorded personal bests during the 2010-2011 indoor season. As a result, Hunt was a finalist for the 2010 NCAA Southeastern Region Assistant Coach of the Year. Prior to his time at Georgia Southern, Hunt coached at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, where his athletes set SIUE records in the pentathlon, long jump and pole vault. Hunt was also an assistant track and field coach at Marquette University. During his two years with the Golden Eagles, Hunt coached 10 Big East qualifiers and 4 NCAA Regional qualifiers. Prior to his career in college coaching, Hunt led the track program at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In his four years as head coach at Rufus King, Hunt coached 100 all-conference athletes, 20 state champions and 15 all-state athletes. He built the team from an initial roster of 45 to more than 150 participants. Hunt started his collegiate competition with the University of Wisconsin before finishing up at UW-Milwaukee. Hunt finished his collegiate competition having set the University and the Horizon League indoor and outdoor triple jump records. Hunt has a bachelor's degree from UW-Milwaukee in History and a USATF Level 2 coaching certificate for jumps.

Lord help us, we're just getting pummeled by despair week after week here in bad ol' 2020. Those of us in the camp we call "people who care", or "people who give a shit" are just trying to keep our heads above water these days and like the great Freddie Mercury advised, we're keeping ourselves alive. A big help is something we call rock n roll, and for this week, we're all about the greatest Classic Rock Songs Of Hope, those hard rockin' gems that keep our spirits up, lyrically and musically. Like 'em or totally love 'em, the newly christened (like 10 seconds ago) Wolffing Brothers are back on the pod to help us keep this hope thing going. Justin and Chris bring their best to a really fun and nostalgic top ten list from those golden years of long hair, bell bottoms and crunchy guitars. Get ready to hopefully rock with us. Chris & Justin's avant garde/dork rock band Coleflatch is back with a new album.

The Summer Of Sin was a thing, and now it is mercifully over. The Oompa Loompas running the show here at ATTT HQ have been getting restless, and are ready for a break from all the negativity we've seen in the world and especially here in these United States. The election is less than 2 months away and we're going to steer this ship in a new direction - the direction of positivity, good vibes, and especially HOPE. Longtime fans of the show know All Time Top Ten has been all about hope for the past 4 years, as we've presented entries in our #1000SongsOfHope series on the social medias. This episode and subsequent ones are a companion piece of sorts to that series, as we're going around the musical world for the best Songs Of Hope we can find.

All Time Top Ten's Summer Of Sin series rolls on with a slippery eel of a topic. it's easy to look at the word 'Pride' and have 90% of your thoughts about the word be positive. However, the negative side of pride can cause humans to do some incredibly destructive things. The side of pride that can hurt you, or worse, is what we're interested in for this particular podcast, and ATTT is delighted to be joined by one of the greatest Rock N Roll Power Couples in the greater Los Angeles area. Dan Rothchild and Sky Nicholas know a thing or two about swallowing one's pride, not having any pride, being too proud to beg, and all of the myriad ways that pride can mess with you and cause great harm. As Marcelus Wallace once said, "Fuck pride. You fight through that shit. It only hurts. It never helps". Don't be too proud to listen to Top Ten Songs About Pride.

Going through the seven deadly sins has taught us a few things - greed is the most destructive sin, lust is the most dangerous, and gluttony is arguably the most fun. To quote Randy Newman, here in America, you get food to eat. Lots of it. More than you could ever want. It's sad to say that in addition to being the most fun of the sins, gluttony is probably the most American. ATTT is excited to have a chat about maximum consumption with our friend Alex, who in addition to being a wonderful musician, is also a bonafide gourmet chef. Alex knows from food, and we have a great conversation about the different kinds of gluttony. In addition, we fill your plates with big steaming helpings of great tuneage, and count down our favorite songs about feeding your face in the most sinful way. You might regret it later, but for now belly up to our latest pod and get all you can eat.

We've been at this for a month now, and so far ATTT's Summer Of Sin series has discussed some pretty intense and dangerous sins. However, nothing can prepare you for the sheer destruction that comes with the sin of greed. Greed has caused untold amounts of pain throughout the history of the world and some would say it's the root of all evil. Gordon Gecko says "greed is good", we say "music is good", and All Time Top Ten is delighted to welcome musician/music savant Fernando Perdomo and first-time guest/righteous babe Cyndi Trissel to the show to count down our ten favorite Songs About Greed. You can sell your mother and go buy another. All bets are off when that mean, mean green is involved.

Of all the seven deadly sins, lust may be the most fun, or the most dangerous, depending on how well you can control yourself. The tunes featured in Top Ten Songs About Lust are not merely songs about sex, or songs about love. To quote the immortal Joan Jett, "if you think it's luv, then you're thinking wrong". To lust is to want, and ATTT wants to introduce our listeners to one of our favorite people, the freewheeling Jenny Lynne. When Jenny is not acting, modeling, swallowing swords, or having knives thrown at her, she's rocking out to her favorite songs about the sin of lust, and we're more than delighted to have her aboard the All Time Top Ten family and to introduce the 3rd of 7 in our series on songs about the seven deadly sins. Without a doubt, the Summer Of Sin just got a little naughtier.

Tired of having your social media filled with the latest COVID-19 stats or fire and brimstone messages from friends who aren't virologists offering their two cents worth? Never fear. This month on LTA, we will digress your mind with stories of murder, depression, and drug addiction. There you go...feel better?For episode 132 of Love That Album, I am joined by electronic music duo, Lovers and Poets ….oh yeah and the hosts of the wonderful All Time Top Ten podcast, Shannon Hurley and Ben Eisen to talk about Wilco's third album Summerteeth.Wilco are probably thought of mostly for their collaboration with Billy Bragg, “Mermaid Avenue” or for the stranger than fiction story surrounding the recording of their Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album. Summerteeth was YHF's predecessor and is often written off as a transitional album. As great as YHF is, Summerteeth is not transitional to anything – it's its own magnificent beast. The lyrical subject matter gets very dark, which can be easily overlooked because many of the melodies are bright and poppy. As wonderful as Wilco's catalogue is, they never made another album that sounded quite like this again. Of course, aside from Jeff Tweedy and John Stirrat, Wilco in 2020 is not the same band as Wilco of 1998.Ben, Shannon and I discuss band dynamics, musical contributions and the stories told on Summerteeth. I make a really large stretch in suggesting that the record is a concept album. Do I justify it? What are Ben and Shannon's thoughts? Tune in and find out.I am so hugely grateful for Ben and Shannon for having this great conversation with me.

It’s time for episode 110 of Love That Album podcast. In terms of status, the Monty Python crew are like rock stars. How big? When they have musicians like Led Zeppelin and George Harrison ready to bankroll their projects, you know they were bigger than Brian…..Their routines are quoted like song lyrics. In the comedy world, their material is ubiquitous. It could be argued they went from fighting the establishment to becoming the establishment…..which is very rock star. For this episode of the show, the great Ben Eisen of the All Time Top Ten podcast joins Maurice to wax lyrical about the collection of Monty Python songs called Monty Python Sings. Do the songs work outside of the context of the sketches they were often a part of? Was performing these songs in the early seventies in a music-hall / stage musical fashion more counter culture than the rock music of the day? Does an African or European swallow have the greater air speed velocity? Ben and Maurice give answering these questions a shot. Eric Reanimator chimes in with his own comedy album selection. For his Album I Love segment, he talks about The Very Best of Dr Demento. Does he concur that dead puppies aren’t much fun? Tune in and find out. A huge thanks to Ben for returning to the show. How grateful am I?

If we’re discussing an album with songs about stalking, emotional control of another human being, Carl Jung, the Loch Ness Monster appearing as a result of a suburbanite’s frustration with life and Oedipus, you’d probably surmise Love That Album podcast is focusing on the Synchronicity by The Police….and you’d be right.   For LTA episode 109, I am joined by songwriter and singer Shannon Hurley (aka Numbers Girl on All Time Top Ten Podcast) to talk about the final studio album released in 1983 by Gordon Sumner, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland. Synchronicity was hugely popular in its day, but for some reason, the band’s detractors have seen them as a singles band at best and pretend-punk at worst.   Yes, their singles were hugely popular on the radio (a cardinal sin for the cool kids), and yes, their albums did contain filler. However, many of the deeper cuts on all 5 albums revealed some gems played by 3 fantastic musicians who knew the dynamics of how to play as a band, not just 3 excellent musicians trying to outdo each other. All 3 wrote songs, some blackly comical, some too earnest, but none of it seemingly the sort of material that would be of interest to the teenagers who were buying the records.   Shannon and I delve into Synchronicity track by track (a rare return to an earlier LTA format) to discuss the album’s themes, musicianship, and whether it’s dated.   Eric Reanimator chimes in with his thoughts about The Crack by another punky reggae band, Ruts as well as cultural appropriation for his Album I Love segment.   You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or downloading streaming directly from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.   Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum.   My huge thanks to Shannon for coming onto the show and bringing some great conversation.

Welcome to episode 105 of Love That Album podcast.   It’s been a while since we’ve had a double header on the podcast, but this time around we’re doing just that. My very special guest is the charismatic and semi-regular co-host of the All Time Top Ten podcast, David Daskal. He pointed out that since it had been a while from him previously joining me on LTA, we needed to talk about TWO albums to make up for that time.   We start off with a conversation about the 1994 album from indie rock band The Grays, “Ro Sham Bo”. The band included two ex-members of Jellyfish, Jason Falkner and Jon Brion. With such a pedigree in melodicism, why was this album not huge? We try to make sense of it.   Then Dave and I put on our leisure suits and strut our collective stuff to the 1976 debut album “Too Hot To Handle” by the band Heatwave. Their songwriter Rod Temperton went on to write songs for one of the biggest selling records in pop history. Is “Too Hot to Handle” actually that? Not only do we give our thoughts, but the gentlemanly Will Smith of the Gentleman’s Guide to Midnite Cinema podcast contributes his thoughts about Heatwave. DIG IT!!!!!   How the hell was Eric Reanimator going to find common ground between Heatwave and The Grays for his Album I Love segment? By talking about Men Without Hats, of course….so obvious.   Huge thanks to the wonderful Dave, Will and Eric for being so giving of their time.   You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or downloading streaming directly from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.

Welcome to episode 104 of Love That Album podcast. I am joined once again by hard working musician and pop lover, Rhys Lett. He’d spent most of the night playing a gig and STILL found energy on a Sunday morning to talk about the music of Emitt Rhodes – that’s dedication. Since I’m a fan of great songwriters, people have expressed surprise that it took me until about a year ago or so to discover Rhodes’ music. LA based musician and producer Chris Price was discussing his involvement producing Rhodes’ 2016 comeback album “Rainbow Ends” on Ben Eisen’s All Time Top Ten podcast. Intrigued, I sought out his first solo album for ABC Dunhill, then bought Rainbow Ends when it was released. Rhys is a long-time fan of Emitt Rhodes music, so we were able to have an interesting discussion focusing on his early bands, his one-man-band albums from the early 70s, the frustrating history behind his reason to walk away from being a recording artist, and his connection to Gabe (Welcome Back Kotter) Kaplan. Most importantly, we discuss THE MUSIC (in theory, what this show is about). More specifically, we talk a little about Emitt Rhodes first (sort of) solo album and then contrast it to his comeback album of 2016, “Rainbow Ends”. Has Emitt changed his songwriting approach? How different does an album with great session musicians compare to albums recorded methodically by one man playing and singing all parts? These and other vitally life-important questions will be answered. Eric Reanimator’s Album I Love segment also focuses on a musician who started his career a long time ago. Eric Burdon’s 2013 album “ ’Til Your River Runs Dry” gets the Reanimator love. I’d like to give huge thanks to Rhys for joining me on the show with so little sleep (though you’d never know it). He’s a passionate music lover, and it was a joy to get his perspective.

Episode 96 of Love That Album is available....and like a bridge over troubled water, it will ease your mind.   Maurice is joined by Ben Eisen ofthe All Time Top Ten podcast to discuss the final two studio albums from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, 1968's "Bookends" and 1970's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters". Their Everly Brothers inspired vocal harmony blend, combined with Simon's songwriting and Garfunkel's fragile vocal style make them a truly unique pairing. Their albums to this point had already yielded classic songs still recalled to this day,but both Bookends and Bridge not only further demonstrate their way with great songs, but also stylistically advance into directions Simon would continue to explore in his solo career.   Ben and Maurice talk about their introduction to S & G and what keeps them listening to these albums throughout their lifetimes. The only thing missing is the two of them harmonising......but they chose not to do so, because they wantedtokeep their listeners satisfied........   Eric Reanimator's "Album I Love" segment covers the the Crash Test Dummies. The band is more than just that (admittedly great) hit Mmm,Mmm, Mmm,Mmm.   You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or downloading streaming directly from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.   Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum   If you enjoy what you hear, please tell a friend or ten to tune in.   You can catch episodes All Time Top Ten by searching on iTunes or going to http://alltimetopten.podomatic.com   If you want to check out, Ben's own duo Lovers and Poets featuring his wife and very fine songwriter Shannon Hurley (also a previous LTA host),you can do so by going to http://loversandpoets.bandcamp.com/  

History could have dictated that the album under focus for this episode was called Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette In New York  - the artist’s real name and the city of choice for her to record her vocals for the album otherwise recorded in Memphis. In the end, the album was called Dusty In Memphis. What’s in a name? Plenty as it turns out.     I am joined by Shannon Hurley (aka Numbers Girl of the All Time Top Ten podcast) to discuss Dusty In Memphis. The album was ignored on release back in 1969, but it has since reached large levels of respect and love over the years. Its most famous cut Son of a Preacher Man is ubiquitous. In a rare return to the old format, Shannon and I discuss the album track by track, but also discuss the album’s place in the soul canon. We ask whether the album really qualifies as a "soul" album, can the Memphis Cats bring the groove (sort of a rhetorical one, really), could Randy Newman have sung the songs he wrote for this album, and does sex really beat a cup of coffee first thing in the morning?     Shannon has been releasing music under her own name, but also as part of the duo Lovers and Poets with husband Ben Eisen (previous LTA presenter and host of All Time Top Ten). We chat a little about Shannon's own musical work and I'm proud to present the premiere presentation of L&P's new song, You And Me In The Summer. A wonderful tune, and great going into the Australian summer. DIG IT!!!     Eric Reanimator returns with his Album I Love segment to discuss an EP by Ronnie Spector called She Talks To Rainbows. Produced by Joey Ramone, it features Spector's take on some classic punk.     You can download the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or downloading streaming directly from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.au/     I'm immensely grateful to Shannon for being part of LTA and allowing me to play her great new song.

Heeeeeeyyyyyy Everybody….welcome to another……poperific episode of Love That Album. I am joined by the bass playing, list counting podcaster himself Mr Ben Eisen, host of the All Tim Top Ten podcast. For episode 76 of LTA, we are discussing the 1999 album by Fountains of Wayne, “Utopia Parkway”. These guys knew how to jangle a guitar, stick a melody deep into the recesses of your subconscious, and tell a tale about life in the suburbs. In the course of our discussion about this album we also talk about the difference between homage and pastiche, why some rock critics feel the need to trash people who live in suburbia (and why they’re stupid for doing it), teenage rites of passage, great summer music, and The Byrds. A really fun chat, and we hope you dig it. Eric Reanimator also brings some power pop to the virtual table for his Album I Love segment. He talks about a band from Massachusetts called The Charms…and the name is apt.

It’s time for episode 71 of Love That Album, the first in 2015 of the regular series. I am joined by first-time co-presenter David Daskal, (frequent co-host of All Time Top Ten and vocalist for Best Of My Love, an L.A. based Eagles tribute band) to talk about Joe Jackson’s second album I’m The Man (1979). He’d released his first album, Look Sharp! earlier the same year to strong public interest. Jackson has always put together great bands across his career, but this one was indeed a force of nature featuring the exciting and frenetic  playing of Dave Houghton, Gary Sanford, and career-long bassist for Jackson, Graham Maby. David and I discuss our thoughts on Jackson, the influence these musicians had on his sound, his career diversity, and of course, the songs on I’m The Man. Eric Reanimator brings his first Album I Love segment for the year with Ball Hog Or Tug Boat by ex Minutemen bass player Mike Watt. I introduce a new segment to play a song each show from any musicians in the Love That Album / Feed My Ears community. Please feel free to send me a song of any genre that you’ve recorded with a little information how folks can hear more of your work or see you live.

If you live in Australia and have turned on the radio, watched TV, gone to the theatre or cinema, or studied in high school any time over the last 30 years, then the name Paul Kelly is no stranger to you. He is revered as one of this country’s (or indeed the world’s) greatest songwriters. LTA contributor Dave Mclemore is a huge devotee over in the Lone Star state, so I know PK has an American fan base as well. If you’ve not heard him before, and you like strong storytelling in you songs, you’re in for a treat. If you dig Nick Cave, then PK should be someone you check out. For episode 48 of Love That Album podcast, I’ve decided that rather than tackle an individual Paul Kelly album (seeing as he has so many), I’ve plagiarised the format of The List Music Podcast and the All Time Top Ten podcast (thanks Ricardo, Jenny, VK, Juan and Ben). My longtime friend (I think we met at 10 years old!!!!) and fellow Paul Kelly fan Darren Lucthner and I count down and discuss our ten favourite Paul Kelly songs. We cover the hits, and the deeper album cuts. We even include a couple of Kelly-penned interpretations by other artists. What made the list? Tune in and find out. Eric Reanimator returns for his Album I Love segment, to discuss some early seventies Willie Nelson and his album Shotgun Willie. As usual, a classy and well thought out chat from Eric.

Episode 43 of LTA is mammoth, huge…not (just) in length, but in content. I am joined by Ben Eisen of the All Time Top Ten podcast to discuss The Who’s “Who’s Next” album. The Who had just come off the success of Tommy, and Pete Townshend was keen to tell another story called Lifehouse. Not for him to write an ordinary kitchen sink drama – no way. Mr Townshend had big ideas about a future run by a totalitarian regime (shades of 1984) where people where linked experience suits all connected together to share common activities (predictor of the internet?). One lone man wants to bring about the long forgotten practice of rock and roll (a precursor to Footloose???) to the world by organising a concert where everyone will sing and dance themselves into such a state where they will find the lost note of purity and disappear in a flash of light…….Are you following the story so far? No? Doesn’t matter. When the project collapsed under the weight of its own heaviosity, “all” that was left was the album “Who’s Next”. Disappoiting for Townshend, but a true gift for the rock loving fraternity. This album contains the cream of song writing and musicianship. Ben and I had a blast discussing these songs, both in the context of the original Lifehouse story and as separate entities in their own right. Whether you’re into spirtituality, Sci-Fi or Keith Moon murdering his drum kit, we’ve got it covered. Also, what do Abbot & Costello and Tom Lehrer have to do with this album? Listen to the show and find out. NOTE: If you’re a Led Zeppelin fan, DO NOT send death threats after listening to this. Ben and I both love Zep, but…… Eric Reanimator returns for an excellent segment to discuss the Nuggets 2 box set. I’ve been a long time fan of Nuggets 1, so I was really keen to hear his words of wisdom about the follow up. You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for “love that album”.

Or should that be Who wins!

For episode 31 of Love That Album I am joined by Ben Eisen of the All Time Top Ten podcast to discuss a highlight album from a champagne year for rock music. By 1967, The Kinks had already released an enviable number of brilliantly crafted singles. Like many other bands from the so-called British Invasion, they had their blues roots (Ray Davies was particularly keen on Big Bill Broonzy), but then went on to explore other musical avenues (though no Dead End Streets – geddit????) “Something Else By The Kinks” was indeed just that. Full of great little character studies and stories, this was the band exploring British life with both affection and a little cynicism. Part psychedelia, part British music hall, this album has its place cemented in history for “Waterloo Sunset” alone. Fortunately, there are many other joys on this record. Dave Davies gets in on the songwriting action too. This album was followed by “Village Green Preservation Society” an album that has garnered more attention. As great as that record is, Ben and I have a lot of affection for “Something Else”, and we discuss why on this latest episode. Eric Reanimator returns to discuss The Soundtrack of Our Lives, “Behind The Music”. Through him, I’ve become a fan, so tune in and become a convert to this great Swedish band.
