b'Love That Album episode 120 is ready for your aural gratification.\\n\\xa0\\nIt\\u2019s December, so as is the annual tradition, I provide for you the first of two programs where I ask some wonderful fellow music lovers to give their opinions as to the great first time listens of the year. I know most people like to contemplate the greatest music released over the previous 12 months, but I like to ask my guests to talk about the best albums they heard for the first time over the past year \\u2013 regardless of when it was released. That way there\\u2019s plenty of scope for recommendations of things you may have missed.\\n\\xa0\\nI am thrilled that returning from last year are music journalist and author Jeff Jenkins, broadcaster and podcaster Billy Pinnell, and rock historian and author Ian McFarlane. Also taking part for the first time in a few years is Rockwiz co-host and adjudicator Brian Nankervis. These four fellows are inspirations to me. They listen to plenty of music and I just know that there is enough variety in their picks for something to appeal to you or for you to nod your heads wisely in agreement with their selections. Huge thanks to them all for the giving of their time to this podcast.\\n\\xa0\\nThe second episode with music recommendations will come in January 2019 when I will be joined by my son Max (an accomplished musician and keen devourer of new sounds) to have an across-the-kitchen table discussion as to our faves for 2018.\\n\\xa0\\nYou can download all episodes of the podcast from Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher or from the website at\\xa0http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com (or just type it into your podcast app of choice).\\n\\xa0\\nJeff\\u2019s weekly columns can be read in The Music and you can hear him every month on Radio 774 and 3RRR\\u2019s The Australian Mood.\\n\\xa0\\nYou can (and should) subscribe to Billy\\u2019s podcast The Music Show with Billy Pinnell (https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/the-music-show-with-billy-pinnell/id1084610942?mt=2) as well as hearing him on Sundays on 3AW.\\n\\xa0\\nKeep up with all things Rockwiz at the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RocKwizOfficialpage/)\\n\\xa0\\nIan McFarlane\\u2019s essential The Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop is available from https://www.thirdstonepress.com.au/\\n\\xa0\\nSend the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at\\xa0http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIf you\\u2019d consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, I\\u2019d be immensely grateful.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
