#226 - Steven Hyden on Led Zeppelin IV, Zeppelin’s influence and losing our classic rock gods

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

Uproxx rock critic, Celebration Rock podcast host and author of ‘You’re Favorite Band is Killing Me’, Steven Hyden is one of most erudite and compelling analysts of classic rock mythology. He joins me to talk about one of the elephant albums in the room, 'Led Zeppelin IV’.

We talk about why it’s easily the best Zeppelin album but rarely chosen as a fan favorite, argue about Zeppelin’s influence on subsequent generations of rock bands, lament and analyze the passing of our rock heroes and why Tom Petty’s passing was such a shock, are bemused at Stairway to Heaven’s prom anthem status and get it why Zeppelin pulled off a style that borders on self-parody and made it magic. Plus, a preview of Steven’s upcoming book ‘Twilight of the Gods’.

#225 - David Ryan Harris on Sly & the Family Stone ‘There’s A Riot Goin On’

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

David Ryan Harris hasn’t had time to sleep for decades, between his constant touring, eclectic and highly melodic albums, guitar duels with John Mayer, producing artists like Guy Sebastian and more. His latest album is ‘Songs for Other People’.

DRH joins me to discuss the classic watershed album ‘There’s A Riot Goin’ On’, the album recorded by Sly & the Family Stone in the coked-out hangover after the Summer of Love fell.

#224 - Lilly Hiatt on Pearl Jam ‘No Code’

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

East Nashvillian singer-songwriter Lilly Hiatt draws as much from the fundamentals of 90s guitar rock as she does from Americana storytelling, and today she joins me to celebrate ‘No Code’ - the album that cemented the legacy of one of the all-time great rock bands, Pearl Jam.

#223 - Sarah Lewitinn (Ultragrrrl) on Interpol ‘Our Love to Admire’ and why they should have been 'the’ band of the 2000s

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

Sarah Lewitinn’s career has taken from writer to manager to DJ, self-described ‘queen of beneficient debauchery’ and the once and future ’Ultragrrl’.

In a personal and emotionally honest conversation, Sarah makes the case for Interpol’s 'Our Love to Admire’ as the band’s best album and the deep, slow-burning relationship she has had with it. We talk about the efforts she’s made to keep her personal distance from the members of Interpol, the legend and reality of Carlos D, and how the album feels like the closing chapter on an era of her New York life.

If you haven’t yet, I recommend reading Lizzy Goodman’s amazing oral history of the 2000s NYC rock scene 'Meet Me in the Bathroom’, in which Sarah features, and listening to my recent podcast with Lizzy.

#222 - Whispertown on Sugar Pie DeSanto ‘Down in the Basement: The Chess Years’

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

The core of the dreamy, ethereal LA outfit Whispertown, frontwoman and songwriter Morgan Nagler and guitarist/producer Jake Bellows, on the inspiration of soul legend Sugar Pie Desanto - how the Californian raised singer-songwriter carved out her space in the Chess Records R&B empire, why this is the best record to put on at any party, how Morgan would’ve handled operating in the early 60s and the way Jake transformed the conventional understanding of a rhythm section on the new Whispertown LP.

#221 - Aaron Lee Tasjan on The Beatles ‘Revolver’ (1966)

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

Aaron Lee Tasjan followed the classic well worn path to Americana stardom - starting 150 bands, playing guitar with the New York Dolls, sticking sequins onto his own suits and micro dosing for songwriting inspiration.

He joins me to talk about the album that taught him to play guitar - The Beatles uber-classic ‘Revolver’. We talk about the Beatles eternal mission to top their latest groundbreaking recordings, what it would’ve been like to hear these songs new when they first were released, the diversity of influences on both Aaron and the Beatles (and the impact that has on their music) and more.

#220 - Jon Cryer on Radiohead ‘OK Computer’

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

Jon Cryer is one of the most beloved figures in the last three decades of American comedy, from his breakout role in ‘Pretty in Pink’ to starring in one of the most successful sitcoms in history in ‘Two and a Half Men’. In addition, he’s also an author, screenwriter, director and lately a podcaster. But today he joins me in his capacity as a music fan with a deep love for Radiohead’s era-defining classic ‘OK Computer’.

From battling the network to get Radiohead posters included in one of his early sitcoms, why the track ‘Fitter Happier’ made him burst into tears on first listen, why he listens to the album in his car, his experiences bringing Radiohead virgins to see the band live and more. Jon discovers live on air what the lyrics to two of the album’s songs are for the first time, and compares the precision in Radiohead’s music to the precision that can make or break a gag in a comedy film. Plus, we talk about what it’s like to act opposite Elvis Costello.

#219 - Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, The Rutles) on Mothers of Invention ‘We’re Only In It For the Money’

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

A legend of both music and comedy, Neil Innes has weaved dry wit around sweet soulful melody for decades, from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band to the Rutles, his work with Monty Python and on television with Rutland Weekend Television and The Innes Book of Records.

Neil joins me to talk about Frank Zappa’s classic commentary on the Summer of Love and response to Sgt Pepper, ‘We’re Only In It For the Money’. We talk about how the album balances satire and music inventiveness, how Zappa misunderstood one of Neil’s songs while reviewing it, when the Bonzo’s hung out with the Mothers of Invention in the US and the kinship they felt, plus how so much of the turmoil Zappa was writing about in 1968 has become eerily relevant again almost 50 years on.

#217 - Julian Velard on Billy Joel ‘Turnstiles’

Jeremy Dylan April 8, 2018

Quintessentially New York singer-songwriter Julian Velard joins me for a celebration/defense of fellow piano man Billy Joel, and his classic 1976 album ‘Turnstiles’.

We tell the story of how Turnstiles was Joel’s return to New York, the building of his classic band, and his celebration of the city - from modern day standard 'New York State of Mind’ to album closer, the apocalyptic 'Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)’. Julian compares the perceptions of Joel in the UK to the US, how he has become like a NYC sports franchise, whether it’s a good or bad thing that he hasn’t released a new album in decades and how understanding Billy Joel as a great mimic helps you appreciate his music.

#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.

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.

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.

#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.
