Kick out the Jams by MC5

"I put this on the list because I remember listening to it and thinking that there wasn’t anything that sounded as vital. There’s a see-saw of performance and song and this was all performance and you can feel the excitement on this recording. It’s an unusually good live number. Also Wayne Kramer from the band follows me on the Twitter machine, so in internet terms he’s my friend."

Solo album of a legend
Grew up listening to melodic rock/AoR thanks to my dad and this guy is one of the all time greats. I first knew him from the band Royal Hunt who are also amazing but on this album he shows his solo capabilities. Easily one of the best vocalists ive had the pleasure to see live.

Without You by Harry Nilsson

(0 Ratings)

Track

"This is one of the first songs I can remember listening to over and over again as a little kid. I had ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ and ‘Without You’ and they were my two favourite songs. I remember I would sit on the living room floor with my dad’s big headphones on, we had a massive CD player set and I would put it on and I’d just be… [gasps] I’d listen to it on repeat. “That was my first love of a pop ballad and I think those feelings were my first feelings of love in a way. I would just play it over and over and I think that was my first longing for wanting to create, but maybe not knowing that yet. Just being like ‘Oh my god, this is what I love.’ “It’s quite cool that it was Harry Nilsson, because I was just listening to what my parents were listening to at that time. I fucking love Harry Nilsson, he’s one of my favourite artists. Mariah Carey is a diva and she kills it, but it’s a different experience with the Mariah version. I love a diva and I love a good belt and an intense dramatic thing, but I like the more understated, simpler versions of things sometimes too. It’s like the Dolly Parton version of ‘I Will Always Love You’, there’s something so fucking beautiful and understated about that.”"

Entertaining
I love Louis Theroux and his documentaries, and I was excited to see he'd made a podcast that I could listen to while working and out and about, especially as any TV documentaries of his are likely not going to happen for a while!

Overall this is a rather entertaining and informative podcast. The majority of the people featured at least know about (except for KSI and Troy Deeney), but they wouldn't necessarily be my first choices to feature in something like this. However when listening I actually found i was hugely interested in what they had to say and what they'd been through in their lives. Miriam Margolyes especially is an absolutely hoot, I was cracking up listening to her.

Throughout each episode Louis keeps up his usual interview style that always does him well. I have to be honest I think his style doesn't quite work as well as a podcast rather than on TV. He often uses long pauses to prompt his guests to keep talking which on TV is fine as you have a visual to look at whats going on, but on a podcast it's just silence which gets a bit awkward. Louis technically recorded this audio via Zoom so I guess he had video to work with initially but this did frustrate me a little.

Overall though this is a very interesting, entertaining and often funny podcast that's worth listening to if you're a fan of Louis.
