It’s December, so it must be time
for another Love That Album end-of-year Shooting The Shit session.In case you’re not familiar with
the term, LTA has done a small number of panel shows under the Shooting The
Shit moniker. We haven’t held a more general discussion in a long while, but
the tradition holds that we do our “favourite first time listens of the year”
show. As long as the panellists heard a particular album for the first time in
2015 (regardless of the year of release), it’s up for discussion.Because the crew is comprised of
6 of us, we’re doing this over two shows so you’re not listening for 4 hours
straight!!! For episode 85, and the first of the STS faves specials, I am
joined by my See Hear co-host Tim Merrill and Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide podcast
host, Michael Pursche. We offer 5 albums each for your consideration as our
favourite first time listens in 2015. Let me tell you folks, the key word here
is “diversity”. There are a range of styles on offer here, so there will be
something that will appeal to all tastes.I even have some feedback from
listeners as to their favourite albums of the year. I love getting feedback for
the same reason Sally Field loves getting Academy Awards….Episode 86 will be part 2 of the
end-of-year shows, and will be online in a couple of weeks. That will feature
Geoff Smith, John Stirrat, and Eric Reanimator giving their well-considered
choices.My thanks to my co-presenters for
taking the time to record these shows with me, and my thanks to anyone who
listens to the shows. There are a lot of podcasts out there to demand your
time, so if you’ve let me into your headphones, I’m grateful to be included a
part of your listening schedule.You can
