#96 - Dan Kelly on Sly and the Family Stone ‘There’s a Riot Goin’ On’

ARIA-nominated singer-songwriter-guitarist Dan Kelly is known for his laconic rock’n’roll tunes that offer a sly commentary on Australia, but his favorite album is the 1971 R’n’B classic from Sly and the Family Stone - “There’s a Riot Goin’ On”.

Dan and I talk about the album’s notorious coke-fuelled LA sessions, the innovative use of drum machines, the guests who may or may not have played on the record, why the album was so jarring to audiences at the time, the death of the 60s and why Dan’s records don’t sound that much like this one.

#94 - Stella Angelico on The Shangri-Las

Combustible Melbourne soul heroine Stella Angelico joins me to talk about the bad-asses of the 60s girl group scene, New York trio The Shangri-las. We talk about why they were the toughest gals in the game, their fascination with death, the drama inherent in their songs like ‘Leader of the Pack’, their hustling mentor George ‘Shadow’ Morton, why there’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure and why the Shangri-las were the Taylor Swift of their era.

#93 - Eves the Behavior on Joni Mitchell ‘Blue’

In the midst of a banner year (that has just seen her sell out her first headline tour), purveyor of intense electro-pop Eves the Behavior joins me to discuss an album that might surprise people - Joni Mitchell’s heartbreaking classic, 1972′s Blue.

How did discovering Joni change her approach to songwriting? How is Joni’s album a document of depression? How does Eves’ synesthesia manifest the colour Blue? Why is ‘River’ her favorite Christmas song and why isn’t she a Christmas person? How did Eves and Joni undertake parallel journeys before making ‘Blue’ and Eves new self-titled EP? How are different songs like different rooms in a house? And why was Eves’ Splendour in the Grass set her favorite show she’s ever played?

#92 - Troy Cassar-Daley on Willie Nelson ‘Greatest Hits’

One of Australian country’s most respected and awarded country singer-songwriters Troy Cassar-Daley joins me to talk about one of his idols, Willie Nelson, and the iconic Texan’s first ‘Greatest Hits’, collecting his pre-outlaw era classics from the early 60s.

How does the sound of this record diverge from what became Willie’s signature sound? How did Patsy Cline come to record 'Crazy’? What instrument did Troy teach Willie to play when they toured together in the 90s? Why didn’t Troy cut any songs from this album on his platinum selling duets album with Adam Harvey 'The Great Country Songbook’? And how does the original version here of 'Darkness on the Face of the Earth’ compare with Willie’s reggae reimagining of the song?

Plus Troy gives us a peak at a beautiful not yet released song 'Outlaws Like Me’, inspired by Willie and his fellow outlaw country legends.

#88 - Will Hoge on Ray Charles ‘Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music’

It’s no surprise that someone like Will Hoge, whose music blends R&B sounds with heartland rock, would love the genre-busting “Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music”, Ray Charles’ 1962 album that saw him cover country classics by Hank Williams, The Everly Brothers and more.

Will and I discuss how he stumbled upon the album as a kid, what it meant for Charles to release it at the height of the civil rights era, the good and bad ways country and R&B have been mashed up over the years, seeing Ray Charles live in Nashville, why Usher should make a country record and how Charles influenced Will’s song “This Time Around”.

#87 - Shane Nicholson on Billy Joel ‘52nd St’

Shane Nicholson is one of Australia’s finest Americana singer-songwriters and producers, an ARIA and Golden Guitar winner whose new album ‘Hell Breaks Loose’ is one of the most memed record covers of 2015. He’s also an out and proud Billy Joel fan, and today he and I gush and defend the great man’s 1978 album “52nd Street”.

We talk about how listening to Billy Joel brings back Shane’s treasured childhood memories, why Billy Joel is to NYC what Springsteen is to New Jersey, the song “Honesty” and why it’s really about the difficulty of accepting praise, Joel’s talent as a mimic of other artists and how one of Shane’s new songs almost ended up sound a bit too much like BJ.

Sophie Hopes, frontwoman of Perth alt-rockers Tired Lion, joins host Jeremy Dylan in the midst of their Splendour in the Grass performance to talk about her love for Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Rós and their hit 2005 album ‘Takk…’

Sophie talks about the non-obvious influence of the band on her own music, why she turns to the album when her life takes a downward turn, making up her own meanings for the Icelandic lyrics, why part of the album is sung in a made-up language and why she’s never seen Sigur Rós live.

#85 - ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris on Love 'Forever Changes'

‘Whispering’ Bob Harris is one of the most iconic voices in British rock broadcasting, with an incredible career over four decades including ‘Sounds of the Seventies’, ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’ and his current home at ‘Bob Harris Country’ on BBC Radio 2. Today he joins host Jeremy Dylan to reveal why Love’s seminal 1967 album ‘Forever Changes’ is his favorite of all time.

How did the legendary John Peel introduce Bob to the album? Why did Arthur Lee elude Bob as an interview subject for decades? How did confronting lyrical content of the album make it stand out from the other records of the Summer of Love? Was 1967 the greatest ever year for pop music? Was Love really a band or was it all about frontman Arthur Lee? And what does Lee have in common with modern country superstar Kacey Musgraves?

On an intense episode of MFA, Bluejuice frontman Jake Stone joins me to reveal his passion for the self-titled debut album from Ben Folds Five - an album Jake says has inspired almost every song he’s written since.

We talk about how the album got him back into piano playing, what “cool” meant in the 90s and why Folds didn’t fit it, whether BFF were more emotionally honest than grunge bands, what kind of music is best to dance to when you’re coping with anxiety and depression, writing about infidelity, the different types of love you can have for a band and why Jake would prefer not to be himself.

#82 - Dom Alessio on Radiohead ‘OK Computer’

As longtime host of Triple J’s Home and Hosed, Dom Alessio has been bringing the best of new Aussie music to the masses for years. But his favorite album is that seminal British record which defines the late 90s for so many - Radiohead’s “OK Computer”.

Dom talks to host Jeremy Dylan about discovering the record as a teenager, why it sounds more cohesive than other Radiohead albums, the lyrical themes of the album, how it represents a transition from the band’s Britpop roots to their electronic future, seeing Radiohead live and the band’s sometimes antagonistic relationship to their fans.

Along the way, we talk about Dom’s experiences with the “Tool hole”, why Aussie music is having such a moment of recognition and how he balances the music he has to listen to with the music he just wants to.

We talk about the origins of his Nick Cave fandom, seeing him live with the Birthday Party and later with the Bad Seeds, how this album represents a period of Cave in transition, why ‘The Ship Song’ ended up on his playlist when he guest hosted Rage and which Nick Cave song got people moving in his recent DJ set.

#80 John Waters on Jimi Hendrix ‘Electric Ladyland'

English born Aussie acting legend John Waters (Offspring, Oliver, Rush) is probably best known for his one man musical about the life of John Lennon “Looking Through A Glass Onion”, but his favorite album is from another icon who emerged from the 60s British rock scene - Jimi Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” from 1968.

John and host Jeremy Dylan talk about growing up in England during the rock boom, how making a double album allowed Hendrix to experiment more, why Hendrix’s version of “All Along the Watchtower” has eclipsed Bob Dylan’s original, Hendrix’s lack of confidence in his unique voice and why Hendrix did jamming right.

There is no greater rock'n'roll talk show than WBEZ radio’s Sound Opinions, hosted by the Siskel and Ebert of music: Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot. This week, Jim joins host Jeremy Dylan to chat about the band he literally (in the traditional non-ironic sense of the world) wrote the book on - The Flaming Lips, and their 1995 album “Clouds Taste Metallic”.

They talk about how the band’s career parallels their psychedelic-rock forebears Pink Floyd, the unique contributions of guitarist Ronald Jones, frontman Wayne Coyne’s hangups about his lack of formal education, Jim’s experiences being in the studio while the album was made, Coyne’s latter day affinity for Miley Cyrus and why Jim thinks the band has lost his way.
