Love That Album Episode 79 - Interview with Marshall Crenshaw

Episode 79 of Love That Album is ready for your aural pleasure. I am presenting a couple of episodes this month with interviews I did way back in 2001 while doing a summer fill-in on a local public access radio station in Melbourne. It was really exciting to get the opportunity to speak to a couple of musical titans in my listening development, and I think it was high time to present these to listeners of the podcast. This time around, I am presenting my interview with American songwriter, musician, radio show presenter, and writer of a music-related film encyclopedia, Marshall Crenshaw. Over 35 years, he has given the pop loving world a bunch of great records. Most recently he has been doing a show on WFUV called The Bottomless Pit and has released a series of crowd funded 10-inch 45 rpm records. This interview was recorded just prior to his release of his brilliant and reflective album What’s In The Bag. Have a listen and hear Marshall discuss his thoughts on his recorded legacy, playing John Lennon and Buddy Holly, and the Lenny Kaye “Nuggets” albums. Eric Reanimator presents his Album I Love segment discussing Swedish garage band The Strollers (I never knew Eric dug Swedish garage bands!!!) and their album Falling Right Down. The world needs more farfisa organs I say. The Strollers happily agree.
