b'It\\u2019s time for a packed episode 74 of Love That Album\\npodcast.\\n\\nI am joined by Eric Reanimator (who normally hosts the LTA -\\nCompilation Series episodes as well as the regular show\\u2019s Album I Love segment)\\nto discuss two bands called X: one from Los Angeles and one from Sydney.\\n\\nFirstly, we discuss Los Angeles X\\u2019s \\u201cUnder The Big Black\\nSun\\u201d from 1982. It\\u2019s a vibrant album \\u2013 with some tragic lyrical themes - that\\ncombines their punk roots with their love of country, rockabilly and poetry.\\nThen we discuss Sydney X\\u2019s \\u201cAt Home With You\\u201d from 1985. Produced by the great\\nLobby Loyde (of Rose Tattoo and Coloured Balls), and featuring ex- Rose Tattoo\\nmember Ian Rilen on bass,\\xa0 this is a\\ntough sounding album, that along with many other alternative Australian bands\\nof the day, probably had a lot of influence on bands to make their presence\\nfelt in the nineties. In relation to this show, I must give thanks to my friend and all-round gent, Pat Monaghan\\n\\nWe have a special guest Album I Love segment presenter. John\\nRoss of Feed My ears fame generously presents for the show a brief discussion\\non the band The Sneaker Pimps and their album, \\u201cBecoming X\\u201d (thus keeping in\\nwith the theme of the show, you see).John brings back his love of trip-hop to\\nthe show, and I thank him for it.\\n\\nWe also present a tune by LTA Facebook member\\xa0 Jason MacIsaac and his band The Heavy\\nBlinkers. It\\u2019s from their wonderful album of 2013 \\u201cHealth\\u201d. If you love beautiful\\narrangements mixed with tasteful orchestration and dig The Beach Boys \\u201cSmile\\u201d,\\nyou will love The Heavy Blinkers. I certainly do.
