Love That Album: The Compilation Series - Episode 4 - Happy Pub

Published: June 5, 2014, 9:47 a.m.

b'Welcome to episode 4 of the LTA: Compilation Series podcasts\\nhosted by Eric Reanimator. This episode is called Happy Pub.\\n\\nThis time around Eric is discussing a couple of albums\\nfocussing on British pub rock. First of all he talks about Elizabeth McQueen\\nand the Firebrands with their tribute album to pub rock from 2005 called \\u201cHappy\\nDoing What We\\u2019re Doing\\u201d. Then he goes right to the source with the compilation\\n\\u201cPub Rock: Paving The Way For Punk\\u201d featuring artists like Ian Dury, Brinsley\\nSchwartz and the 101\\u2019ers (with a pre-Clash Joe Strummer)\\n\\nAs always, Eric delivers a truly fascinating show. He\\ncontextualises the music describing the circumstances that led to pub rock in\\nEngland. When young artists wanted to bring back pure raw energy to make\\nexciting music (in much the same way rock and rollers from the 50s did), as an\\nalternative to the musicians who were showing their chops through Progressive\\nRock, Pub Rock was created. As a side note, the pub has long been the breeding\\nground for most great Australian rock. I hope to discuss this with Eric on a\\nfuture show.\\n\\nI urge you to give Eric your time. His shows are not just\\npodcasts, but audio documentaries. They are well thought out and you come away\\nknowing something new.\\n\\nYou can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for \\u201clove that\\nalbum\\u201d.
