“THIS Album…” with William Hann

• Episode 48 - James Allen from Cultras Football Podcast - LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver

  "Who are ya?! Who are ya?! Who are ya?!"I'm William Hann, host of the podcast, "THIS Album..." thanks for asking.For episode 48 I'm joined by a man so passionate about football, he's actually created an award nominated podcast about it, from Cultras, it's James Allen!Jesus, where do I start?James, is a comedian, broadcaster, writer and actor and it was a joy to be welcomed into his home to discuss LCD Soundsytem's ground breaking sophmore album, Sound of Silver.Sound of Silver is widely considered to be one of THE seminal New York albums. In this humble podcasters opinion, it might just be the greatest album of all time. So this is a BIG episode.The album touches on hedonism, loss, friendship, growing up, gentrification, hipsterdom, escape, identity and it does all this with a level of gravitas and intelligence that was unrrivalled in the mid 00's or any era for that matter! So rather then discussing these things we talk about getting high on lemon sips, Liverpool's Ecru away kit in the 90's and regional table tennis tournaments on The Wirral. Best enjoyed home in the late night.

• Episode 47 - Louise Schofield - Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

  I can’t believe it’s taken 47 episodes to get here, but finally we get to cover Arctic Monkeys seismic debut album - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. An album this important requires a great guest and I was in VERY good hands for this one. From Spill The Sound and behind the decks of the indiest of discos near you, it’s Louise Schofield!Louise’s content is a joy to behold. On Spill The Sound Louise gives a platform for young bands to have the kind of MTV / T4 experience that those a generation behind took for granted. It’s also, a proper laugh and loads of fun. Louise and I had such great time talking about the impact four lads from Sheffield had on us. We talk haircuts, drinking in parks, first gig confessions, pre drinks in Nottingham. All the important subjects. Untuck those socks from your trackie bottoms, believe the hype and enjoy episode 47 of “THIS Album…!”

• Episode 46 - Felix White from The Maccabees - The Futureheads, New & Tributes

  Well this is basically what this podcast nonsense has all been leading up to....Do I really need to introduce Felix White....?Amongst the MANY things that Felix does, he is in one of the very best bands to ever do it , The Maccabees. Getting to spend 60 minutes talking to a man who has had such a big impact on my life was a dream come true.Sure, a large part of this episode was me talking "at" Felix and telling him about the numerous times I've cried my eyes out at the countless Maccabees shows I've been to over the last 20 years. But we also talk Red Button anxieties, playing Latchmere when you're 50 and Oasis (naturally). Felix's album of choice is an underdog album from Sunderland's finest - The Futureheads. We have so much fun deep diving the often overlooked record that he so rightly champions.Felix is set to release his second book, Whatever Will Be Will Be - A Matter of Life and Football will be released on the 30th of October. If it's half as good as his previous book then this is going to be a very special read, so get that pre order in.It's available in some bad book shops and all good ones. You can listen to this episode at the link in bio or you can watch it on Youtube or Spotify, no need to take your Precious Time about it.
