Description
Peter Bibby and I pull up a pew at a Newcastle church to talk about the stoner metal epic 'Dopesmoker' by Sleep. One song over an entire album, a peon to weed. We delve into the bizarre story of its creation and release, whether you need to be high to appreciate the album, whether it's a good record to have sex to, and why it makes a good soundtrack to Donald Trump's ramblings. 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. Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer from Sydney, Australia who has worked in the music industry since 2007. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the feature film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins, in addition to many commercials and music videos.
