#216 - Courtney Marie Andrews on Bob Dylan ‘Blood on the Tracks’

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Acclaimed Americana singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews joins me to talk about one of high watermarks of Bob Dylan’s career - his 1975 breakup album ‘Blood on the Tracks’.

We talk about why this album is Dylan at his most emotionally transparent, how the album captures all the different colours of a relationship - and its disillusion, how Dylan has maintained his mystique for over 50 years, how turn a song written from trauma into something you can sign night after night, and why Courtney wishes she was compared more often to men.

#215 - Anita Lester on Leonard Cohen ‘Songs of Love and Hate’, Cohen’s sexuality and heavy Jewish themes

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

After 214 episodes and four and a half years of podcasting, Leonard Cohen makes his first appearance on the show. One of my earliest guests, purveyor of dark sensuality and grand emotional intimacy Anita Lester joins me from London to unpack the allure, craft and mystique of Cohen - how he entered Anita’s life during a traumatic moment in her childhood, the confronting maturity of his lyrics, the atypically adult sexuality in his music, why listening to his music doesn’t make her sad and what is was like to see Cohen live a few years before he died.

Plus, Anita closes the show with a cover of my personal favorite Leonard Cohen song ‘I’m Your Man’.

#214 - Meet Me In The Bathroom author Lizzy Goodman on Yeah Yeah Yeahs ‘Fever to Tell’, why Karen O is a true rock star, the magic of 'Maps’ and more

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Rock journalist and author of the definitive oral history of the New York rock revival ‘Meet Me in the Bathroom’, Lizzy Goodman, joins me to talk about one of the seminal albums of that era - the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ debut LP 'Fever to Tell’.

We talk about why Karen O is the truest rock star of her era, what makes 'Maps’ such a special song and how it influenced mainstream pop, the contrast between the band’s offstage awkwardness and their high-octane music, why being a woman can’t be politically neutral in rock and the world in general, why it’s silly to pretend clothes don’t matter and why Lorde made Lizzy excited about the next wave of New York music.

Plus we delve into the writing process of 'Meet Me in the Bathroom’, 2017’s best music book, and why she will never undertake a similar project again.

#213 - JAY-Z biographer Zack O'Malley Greenburg on JAY-Z ‘Reasonable Doubt’

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

To mark the release of JAY-Z’s first album in four years, Forbes magazine senior editor and author (Empire State of Mind, Michael Jackson Inc) Zack O'Malley Greenburg joins me for a look back on Jay’s 1996 debut album ‘Reasonable Doubt’.

Zack lays out the true stories behind the myths of how the album was released, why Jay-Z founded Roc-A-Fella records, how Biggie almost swiped the track for 'Brooklyn’s Finest’ and how it became a duet between him and Jay, why it’s ignorant to wag your finger at conspicuous consumption in hip-hop, why 'Reasonable Doubt’ is particularly special to the man who made it and also what is up with the hyphen in Jay’s name.

#212 - #BeatlesMonth Wall Street Journal’s Allan Kozinn on how ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ broke the Beatles in America and the anatomy of an iconic hit

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Today’ Allan Kozinn joins me to tell the behind-the-scenes story of 'I Want to Hold Your Hand’ - why hadn’t the Beatles cracked America prior to this song? How did a teenage girl and a radio DJ force the Beatles record label to rush release the song? How did the JFK assassination set the stage for Americans embrace of aspirational British pop?

Plus we break down the song piece by piece to show how the Fab Four constructed a perfect single which was just as groundbreaking and sophisticated as their later work - from the lyrics to the harmonies, the guitar parts and their first use of four-track overdubbing, the sexual undertones in the music and how it marked the apex and the climax of their 'Wooo’ period.

If you enjoyed this episode, pick up a copy of Allan’s book Got That Something! How the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” Changed Everything.

#211 - #BeatlesMonth Conan’s Jimmy Vivino on the Sgt Pepper remixes and recreating the intricacies of the Beatles with the Fab Faux

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Guitar legend, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader of Conan’s Basic Cable Band - Jimmy Vivino - returns to the show for #BeatlesMonth.  

I caught up with Jimmy last week to talk about the Fab Faux, in which he and a handful of other impeccable Beatles obsessed musicians recreate the licks and intricacies of the great band of all time’s song catalogue, and why the Beatles legacy has lasted so long, but first we kicked off comparing notes on the recently release 50th Anniversary version of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which features new stereo mixes of the album by Giles Martin, son of the album’s original legendary producer George Martin.

Keyboard legend Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Mudcrutch) returns to the show as Beatles Month rolls on.

Benmont unpacks the multi-layered genius of Beatles for Sale opening track ‘No Reply’, explores why the Beatles R'n'B roots are at the heart of their greatness, recalls how his first exposure to the band scared him as a kid, why the Heartbreakers avoided playing Beatles covers, wonders about his friend Ryan Adams’ recent discovery of the Beatles albums and talks about his relationship with Ringo Starr across 20+ years of playing on each other’s records.

#209 -#BeatlesMonth - TV legend Ken Levine on 50 years of ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

All of June we are celebrating the Fab Four with #BeatlesMonth, indulging my favorite past time - talking about the Beatles - with guests old and new, and revisiting some favorite episodes from the past three and a half years of podcasts.

Today we are celebrating 50 years of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with TV legend Ken Levine - writer, producer and director on iconic shows from M*A*S*H to Cheers to Frasier, co-creator of Almost Perfect and Big Wave Dave’s, I could go on… He’s also a baseball announcer, author, my favorite blogger and host of his own podcast Hollywood and Levine.

Ken’s masterful storytelling is at the fore in this episode as he lays out how he discovered the Beatles as a teenager in 1964, his doomed scheme to meet the band in California, his encounters with John Lennon and Ringo Starr, why he chose not to see the Beatles live, and what it was like to work in a record store when Sgt Pepper was unleashed on the world. We talk about how his feelings about the record have and haven’t changed through the years, and why it’s the one album he will never get sick of listening to.

#208 - All Our Exes Live In Texas on Rufus Wainwright ‘Want’ (2004), sex and genre-blending in Rufus songs, and how musical taste can end romantic relationships

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

This episode is like being a guest at the best Rufus Wainwright themed dinner party of all time - and believe it or not, no alcohol was consumed before or during recording.

Elana Stone and Georgia Mooney - half of Australia’s premiere Americana quartet All Our Exes Live In Texas - drop in ahead of their US tour to explore Rufus Wainwright’s two ‘Want’ albums, how they reflect his languid sexuality, genre-bending ambition, relationship with his musical siblings and parents, and why loving and hating Rufus can both lead to the end of romantic relationships. Plus, we record the pilot episode of my new podcast 'My Favorite Cereal’.

#207 - Eilish Gilligan on Counting Crows ‘August and Everything After’, introversion and mental illness in musicians, proper nouns in songs and more

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Despite being a baby when it was released, Melbourne singer/songwriter Eilish Gilligan has long been fascinated by the Counting Crows classic ‘August and Everything After’, an album that captured the existential malaise of a generation when it was released in 1993.

We talk about how Eilish’s relationship with songs like 'Round Here’ have changed over the years as she’s gone from child to teen to young woman, how Adam Duritz’s mental health issues manifest in his lyrics, why Gang of Youths are the Counting Crows of today, extroverted introverts in the music world, how seeing Counting Crows live taught Eilish to be a better performer and why she’d rather listen to this record than many of the classics that influenced it.

#206 - 10 years of Rilo Kiley ‘Under the Blacklight’ with Katie Brianna

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Australian Americana singer/songwriter Katie Brianna on the album that helped her transform herself and stake out her independence as a young woman - Rilo Kiley’s 2007 swan song ‘Under the Blacklight’.

We make the case for the album as Rilo Kiley’s best record - and how it represents a breadth and musical ambition beyond their previous catalogue. We discuss the songs fall in the evolution of frontwoman Jenny Lewis, from RK’s indie rock origins to her subsequent solo success. Katie talks about why 'Under the Blacklight’ is the album she wishes she was 'cool enough’ to make, and we really overwork the 'your band is your baby’ metaphor.

#205 - Pegi Young on her biggest influences, from Janis to Joni, Clapton to the Dead, and her new album RAW

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Singer-songwriter Pegi Young’s new album ‘Raw’ was inspired by her recent divorce, but her musical identity has been developing for decades, taking inspiration from her heroes, peers and people who have become friends, as she moved from backing vocalist for ex-husband Neil to mature solo artist. We talk about her biggest influences, from Otis Redding to Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell to Billie Holliday, Paul McCartney to Bonnie Raitt, JJ Cale to the Grateful Dead, Laura Nyro to Eric Clapton.

Plus, how curating the annual Bridge School Benefits has helped her discover new artists, how the trauma of her divorce left her temporarily unable to play guitar and why she hopes her new music will resonate with audiences who don’t share her life experiences.

On the latest episode of My Favorite Album, bullshit-destroying Californian singer-songwriter and Telecaster-slinger Margaret Glaspy battles migraines to talk about the balance of (*cough*) emotion and math involved in the intricate and emotional Bjork classic ‘Vespertine’.

Also, we talk about how she took apart Bjork’s song ‘Who Is It’ and made it her own, the different responsibilities of being a support act and a headliner, making deliberate craft seem spontaneous, being compared to Liz Phair and whether she’s got enough credit for her role as producer on her debut album ‘Emotions and Math’.

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Comic, actor and triple j host Veronica Milsom is a rare guest who knew exactly what her favourite album is straight away - the seminal decade young record from The Shins ‘Wincing the Night Away’.

We talk about how Veronica’s older brother’s mixtapes introduced her to the Shins, how frontman’s James Mercer’s insomnia fuelled the creation of the album, the intimacy of his singing, the Zach Braff driven high expectations and backlash toward this album, and whether any contemporary music has hit her as hard as this record did ten years ago.

Plus, we discuss Veronica’s legendary “thing” for Bernard Fanning, how the events of your life change how you perceive time, why her perspective as a radio DJ has made her hate certain songs, her own self-induced bout with insomnia in Perth and the questions she feels guilty for asking bands during interviews.

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Singer/songwriter, actor, improv comic and the man behind the soulful stare of Nashville’s Deacon Claybourne, Charles Esten, joins me to open up about his love for Bruce Springsteen and ‘Born to Run’.

We talk about how the album awakened him as a musician in his teens, the country music strain in Bruce’s writing, how the album taught Charles to identify with stories he hasn’t lived, why he likes to call on Deacon’s point of view when writing songs, the unexpected reaction he had to finally seeing Bruce in concert, his seminal Springsteen karaoke moment and how he would approach it if he ever had to play Bruce as an actor.

#199 - Showrunner Jeff Lieber on Gregory Alan Isakov ‘The Weatherman’ and how music fuels his writing process

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

Writer/producer Jeff Lieber (Necessary Roughness, NCIS: New Orleans) joins me to explore the intersection between music and drama, and how he uses an obsession with an album to fuel his writing process. We talk about how Gregory Alan Isakov’s ‘The Weatherman’ has been the soundtrack to his current writing project, the different ways that changing technology has effected TV and music, what the Beatles have in common with the Sopranos, why he has failed multiple times to write song lyrics, the secrets to using songs in episodes of TV drama and why he sometimes envies indie musicians - and sometimes doesn’t.

#197 - Benmont Tench on playing with Bob Dylan, Jenny Lewis and Ryan Adams and the worst advice he’s received

Jeremy Dylan April 5, 2018

In a shorter and off-model episode of the podcast, rock legend Benmont Tench returns for some stories about his session career. Although a singer-songwriter a multi-instrumentalist in his own right, Benmont is best known for his 40 year career as keyboardist/pianist/organist in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

In this chat, he tells the story of how producer Jimmy Iovine got him into session work, the bad advice he got while playing on a Bob Dylan record, why doing sessions made him a better Heartbreaker, recording Jenny Lewis’s The Voyager album and why he loves recording at Ryan Adams’ Pax Am studios.
