b'\\u2026and it\\u2019s time for episode 78 of Love That Album podcast. Earlier this month, for episode 77, music journalist and biographer\\nJeff Jenkins and I discussed the history behind the recording of the second\\nalbum by Melbourne band Skyhooks, \\u201cEgo Is Not a Dirty Word\\u201d celebrating 40\\nyears since it was first released. Continuing LTA declared Skyhooks month, I am\\njoined by Michael Pursche, host of the Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide podcast\\n(itself named after a Skyhooks song), and Rhys Lett, head honcho at the Eastern\\nSuburbs School of Music in Melbourne to pontificate the actual album. We\\ndiscuss the songs, composition technique, lyrics, jazz vs pop chord\\nprogressions, our first recollections of hearing the album and a myriad of\\nother things. Rhys even gets out his guitar to illustrate the cleverness of\\nGreg Macainsh and Red Symons\\u2019 composition style. I hope you enjoy listening as\\nmuch as we enjoyed chatting.Eric Reanimator is back with his Album I Love segment. Trying to find a\\ncomplementary group for this show, he decided on Blue Oyster Cult and their\\nthird album Secret Treaties.
