My Favorite Album with Jeremy Dylan

• 438. Steven Cockcroft (Nothing is Real) on George Harrison 'Living in the Material World' (1973)

  We roar back into life for our 2025 season with the podcast crossover that nobody but us was asking for, as co-host of venerated blockbuster Beatles podcast Steven Cockcroft joins Jeremy Dylan to talk about George Harrison's solo classic 'Living in the Material World'. In amongst numerous fab-adjacent tangents, Steven and Jeremy talk about the long shadow All Things Must Pass casts over this record, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner's innovative double drumming techniques, the lead piano of the legendary Nicky Hopkins, how this album might have served as a template for the rest of Harrison's recording career, Harrison's bitterness around the Beatles and the push and pull between his spirituality and material appetites, lawyer-based hoedowns, Harrison's extremely intermittent history as a live act and more. Plus, Steven shares his memories of attending the amazing Concert for George tribute night featuring every single living (at the time) rock legend plus a surprise Monty Python reunion.

• Emma Swift on Marianne Faithfull 'Broken English' (repost in tribute to Marianne Faithfull)

  Today we sadly lost the legendary Marianne Faithfull, so in tribute we are resharing this episode from 2016 with Emma Swift celebrating Faithfull's classic album 'Broken English'.   ---- Queen of the Sadcore Bangers Emma Swift returns to the show to talk about Marianne Faithfull’s brittle, confronting classic ‘Broken English’. Faithfull started her career being exploited as a folk-pop starlet, hitting rock bottom with drugs and homelessness and then taking control of her life and identity with this album. Emma and I talk about the cock forrest of the punk / new wave scene, how women are often written out of pop history, the inappropriate way Emma discovered the album, how it’s influencing the shift in her music from despair to rage, and more.

• Jack Colwell on Tori Amos 'Boys for Pele' (repost in memory of Jack)

  After the tragic loss of Jack Colwell this past week, I wanted to share this conversation with Jack celebrating his hero Tori Amos. I have such great memories of recording this chat with Jack, I feel like it captured him at his most ebuliant, articulate and insightful. He was one of a kind and will be deeply missed by a lot of people. ----- Sydney singer-songwriter Jack Colwell makes the case for Tori Amos as a transformative figure in pop - a woman who seized her major-label power to create sophisticated adult pop music, bridging the divide between classical and pop, creating a unique sound and exploring her complicated relationship with her religious upbringing and femininity.

• 436. Katie Pearlman on Sarah McLachlan 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' (1993)

  My guest is a musician, songwriter and artist who has never stopped evolving and exploring, from LA to New Orleans to Nashville. Her new EP Fumbling Towards Glory is out now, five years in the making and as she says, is her way of honouring the mess - her mess - of growing up, coming face to face either her own ambition, desire, doubt and experiencing the turmoil and beauty that accompanies is.
