17. J Robert Youngtown + Jon Auer (The Posies) on You Am I's "Hi Fi Way"
The seventeenth episode of My Favorite Album breaks new ground for the podcast, as host Jeremy Dylan is double-teamed via Skype by two guests for a discussion of Aussie rock legends You Am I's classic 1995 album Hi Fi Way. Singer-songwriter J Robert Youngtown from frosty Tasmania and expert witness Jon Auer (of legendary bands The Posies and Big Star) from a sweltering Paris.
The trio break down classic songs The Applecross Wing Commander, Handwasher and Cathy’s Clown and discuss Tim Rogers' lyrical insight, the impact of the band's change in drummers and Jon, who mixed the album, recalls a near death experience with Tim Rogers on the eve of the sessions.
My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album’s influence on their own music.
