Love That Album Episode 77 - Skyhooks - 40th anniversary of Ego Is Not a Dirty Word
b'Welcome to episode 77 of Love That Album podcast.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nJuly 2015 is the 40th anniversary of the release of the\\nclassic second album by Melbourne band Skyhooks. That album, Ego Is Not A Dirty\\nWord came a mere 8 months after the release of their amazing and huge selling\\ndebut Living In The Seventies. \\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nTo commemorate the occasion, Love That Album\\nwill dedicate two episodes this month to this important record. In episode 77, I am joined by the man who authored the Skyhooks\\nbiography, Ego Is Not a Dirty Word (and who co-hosted the very first episode of\\nLTA with me), music journalist, Jeff Jenkins. This episode is not so much a\\ndiscussion of the album itself (that will come in episode 78), but puts into\\nsome historical perspective the Australian musical environment in 1975, how\\nSkyhooks approached their second album, the different dynamics in the band\\npersonalities, whether they came out on top in the infamous Skyhooks / Sherbert\\nWars of 1975, and where you could musically go after your first album included\\na song about masturbating into a Twisties packet. We had a really terrific\\nconversation, and I\\u2019m grateful to Jeff for taking the time to come back to the\\npodcast.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nYou can\\ndownload the show by searching for Love That Album in the iTunes store or\\ndownloading streaming directly from\\xa0http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com.au\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nSend the\\nshow feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the\\nFacebook group at\\xa0http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nJeff\\u2019s weekly articles for The Music magazine can be found archived at http://www.livinginthelandofoz.com/howzat-archive.html\\nHis latest biography is about Australian music personality Ian \\u201cMolly\\u201d Meldrum\\ncalled \\u201cThe\\nNever, Um, Ever Ending Story: Life, Countdown and Everything in Between\\u201d.\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nIf you\\u2019d\\nconsider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, I\\u2019d be\\nimmensely grateful.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
