A self-professed band geek whose first instrument was trumpet, this week's guest - bassist extraordinaire Dan Bonebrake (Dashboard Confessional, The Lightworkers, Vacant Andys, Quit, Honest Liars...) - brought us a record that for him is an amalgamation of everything he loves about music: "Allroy's Revenge" by ALL. 3/4 of legendary CA punk band Descendents (Bill Stevenson, Karl Alvarez, and Stephen Egerton) teamed up with singer Scott Reynolds in 1989 to create this powerfully melodic, infectiously catchy collection of songs.

It's a flashback to the old days — Kevin and Max are dealing with wedding preparations and moving preparations, so it's just Sean and Pierce. This week, they decided to revisit an old format and talk about something they just watched: Penelope Spheeris's 1981 documentary about the Los Angeles punk scene, The Decline of Western Civilization. They discuss Darby Crash, the aggression of young men, and Black Flag living in squalor.MUSIC: “Los Angeles” - XADDITIONAL MATERIAL: The 10 worst contracts in the NBA (Good Morning It's Basketball)
A humble tribute to our beloved tuxedoed companion Sweet Leaf, who lived a life of rags to riches...and everything in-between.(PLEASE NOTE: This piece was originally conceived for the KCRW's 24 Hour Radio Race for their Independent Producers Project. The theme was "Where the sun don't shine." My race crashed and burned, but I did salvage this 10 minute rough cut of the story. The finished, polished piece, was to be cut down to 4 minutes to qualify.)SHOUT-OUTS: Vanessa Lowe, Nocturne Podcast, Paula SmallMUSIC: D.J. Bonebrake (the only Los Angeles native in the band X)RECORDED: August 10, 2019 at the Zane Grey Estate in Beautiful Altadena, California.EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS: Marisol Martinez

It’s time for a packed episode 74 of Love That Album podcast. I am joined by Eric Reanimator (who normally hosts the LTA - Compilation Series episodes as well as the regular show’s Album I Love segment) to discuss two bands called X: one from Los Angeles and one from Sydney. Firstly, we discuss Los Angeles X’s “Under The Big Black Sun” from 1982. It’s a vibrant album – with some tragic lyrical themes - that combines their punk roots with their love of country, rockabilly and poetry. Then we discuss Sydney X’s “At Home With You” from 1985. Produced by the great Lobby Loyde (of Rose Tattoo and Coloured Balls), and featuring ex- Rose Tattoo member Ian Rilen on bass, this is a tough sounding album, that along with many other alternative Australian bands of the day, probably had a lot of influence on bands to make their presence felt in the nineties. In relation to this show, I must give thanks to my friend and all-round gent, Pat Monaghan We have a special guest Album I Love segment presenter. John Ross of Feed My ears fame generously presents for the show a brief discussion on the band The Sneaker Pimps and their album, “Becoming X” (thus keeping in with the theme of the show, you see).John brings back his love of trip-hop to the show, and I thank him for it. We also present a tune by LTA Facebook member Jason MacIsaac and his band The Heavy Blinkers. It’s from their wonderful album of 2013 “Health”. If you love beautiful arrangements mixed with tasteful orchestration and dig The Beach Boys “Smile”, you will love The Heavy Blinkers. I certainly do. Listen to the song….go buy the album. You’re welcome. There’s a new intro format to the show (I acknowledge I’ve stolen the idea) I’d like to give my gratitude to my wonderful wife Joanne for her assistance with the new intro segment. Hope you dig it.

This week we bring to you a punk band from Los Angeles X, a Swedish folk singer who calls himself "The Tallest Man On Earth" even though he stands at 5'6", and a impressive blues, country picker called Junior Brown.
