Here we are at the end of another year. I won't pretend it was
wonderful....part of it was downright horrible to be honest.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, two things made me happy – the kindness of
some people and wonderful music. Love That Album is all about the
music.
Welcome to episode 190 of Love That Album.
As long time listeners will know, at the end of most years, I like to
reach out to some of my music loving and musically articulate friends
to chat about what music excited them that year. The emphasis is on
music discovery – some of it may be have been released but some of
it may be 50 years old. As long as it's new for my guests, that's all
that matters. I now present for you the 2025 edition of this
tradition.
Joining me for this year's discussion are:
- Shane Pacey. Shane is part of the LTA furniture at this stage.
Discussing music with him is always a treat. He's the front man for
both the Bondi Cigars and the Shane Pacey Trio. He's a great
musician, sure, but he's a passionate advocate for music history and
a great raconteur in that regard. Check out his music at either
https://shanepaceytriomusic.bandcamp.com/ or https://bondicigars.com/
- Farmer John (aka John Couture). Farmer John is the host of the superb
Vinyl Relics podcast dedicated to the history of (mostly) obscure
bands from the late 60s / early 70s rock era. He discusses albums
with musicians who didn't always get their day in the sun but should
have. Psychedelia, hard rock, pop and folk are his passions. He's
also a guitarist and songwriter for a great band called Newport
Electric. Get Vinyl Relics wherever you get podcasts, and find his
music at https://www.newportelectricmusic.com/
- Brian Nankervis. In Australia, Brian needs no introduction....but for
the rest of you, Brian is most famous for being the co host (with
Julia Zemiro of Rockwiz) – previously a TV program (which yours
truly had 15 minutes of infamy on), now a live touring show. Brian is
indeed a rock music brain. He also hosts a weekly show on the ABC in
Melbourne with Jacinta Parsons, The Friday Revue.
- Jeff Jenkins. Jeff is a music journalist and has been writing a
weekly column called Howzat for many many years, as well as writing
books about Molly Meldrum and Skyhooks. He also is a regular guest on
RRR's The Australian Mood with Neil Rogers. JJ was also the very
first guest to be a part of LTA 14 and a half years ago, back when
most people didn't even know what a podcast was. You can read his articles at http://www.livinginthelandofoz.com/howzat.html
I'm truly grateful for these marvelous musical folk for giving me their
time and great conversations.
In the off chance you were interested in what some of my favourite
discoveries were this year, I have recorded solo segments I play in
between my chats with my guests giving 3 albums that gave me pleasure
this year – there were many more, but I didn't want this to be a 10
hour show.
If you've listened to an episode this year or sent me a correspondence
or posted in the Facebook group to have music discussions or
recommended LTA or See Hear Podcast to your friends or have been a
guest on the show, I offer my gratitude to you.
