Love That Album Episode 20 - The Horrible Crowes - Elsie

Published: May 7, 2012, 6:34 a.m.

b'The Gaslight Anthem have in the last few years attracted a dedicated following with their cross of modern punk and Springsteen influences.\\xa0 Songwriter Brian Fallon has put together a side project called The Horrible Crowes for material that would not necessarily work in the context of his main band. If you\\u2019ve listened to previous episodes of Love That Album with Geoff Smith as my fellow commentator, you\\u2019d know of his love for both of these bands.\\nIn episode 20 of LTA, Geoff, John Stirrat and myself discuss The Horrible Crowes album, \\u201cElsie\\u201d, in detail covering the themes being written about in the album, as well as the music and lyrics. We ask the big questions \\u2013 is Brian Fallon a stalker? Does he take self pity a little too far or has he had his heart put through the grinder, and is dealing with it the same way Roy Orbison, Chris Isaak and even Beck dealt with it? This was a heated discussion, and we didn\\u2019t all agree on the merits or otherwise of this album \\u2013 which makes for a (hopefully) interesting show.\\xa0 \\nWe also discuss the John Peel archives being made public\\u2026in a virtual sort of way. Also, Eric Reanimator returns with his segment \\u201cAn Album I Love\\u201d to discuss a classic album from the Screaming Trees.\\nDownload from iTunes store (search for lovethatalbum \\u2013 all one word) or from http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.
