b'Welcome to episode 57 of the Love That Album podcast, the first for\\n2014.\\n\\n\\xa0I am joined by long time supporter but first time participant Will\\nSmith of the wonderful Gentlemen\\u2019s Guite To Midnite Cinema podcast. We discuss\\nalbums by two songwriters who are still early into their careers. First up, we\\ndiscuss, soul stylist Michael Kiwanuka\\u2019s \\u201cHome Again\\u201d (2012), then we chat\\nabout Mac Demarco\\u2019s album \\u201c2\\u201d (2013). Both artists definitely display their\\nlove of artists that have inspired them, but cleverly meld the music into\\nsomething all their own. Kiwanuka\\u2019s album is a beautiful introspective look\\ninto faith and hope without hitting anyone over the head with his beliefs.\\xa0 On the other hand, Demarco creates a sound\\nthat may appeal to fans of Ween. He\\u2019s got a healthy sense of humour, but as\\nWill points out, there\\u2019s something dark hiding behind the Lynchian picket\\nfences of his songs. Will and I look forward keenly to see what they will do\\nnext.\\n\\n\\xa0Eric Reanimator returns for 2014 with his terrific Album I Love segment\\nto discuss Janelle Monae\\u2019s concept album The Arch Android, based on Metropolis.\\n\\n\\xa0NOTE: For the time being, Love That Album will be a monthly podcast. I\\nhave joined Tim Merrill and Wendi Freeman for a new monthly podcast about music\\nrelated films called See Hear. I still get my dumb opinions out twice a month,\\nbut once per month for each podcast.\\n\\n\\xa0You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for \\u201clove that\\nalbum\\u201d. You can stream or download it at \\u201chttp://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com\\u201d.\\n\\n\\xa0If you dig the show, I\\u2019d be ever so grateful for an\\niTunes review.\\n\\n\\xa0Send me any feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au\\n(written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum and start a conversation on any new songwriters you\\u2019re excited about.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
