45. Megan Washington on Rufus Wainwright "Poses"
On a particularly spirited episode of “My Favorite Album” this week, 2-time ARIA winner, possible Eurovision contender and loose unit Megan Washington joins host Jeremy Dylan for a rave on Rufus Wainwright’s 2001 sophomore album “Poses”. They break down classic track “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” and along the way talk about the musically abusive relationships within the Wainwright family, the uncanny parallels between “Poses” and Meg’s new album “There There”, feeling old fashioned in contemporary music, the debauchery and cattiness of Rufus’s lyrics, why time slows down on stage and why performing at Triple J’s “Beat the Drum” has inspired Meg to make a disco album - plus Blacula! 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 and music industry exec from Sydney, Australia.

Did you watch the Grammys on Sunday and think "Wow, who was that bearded dude playing that awesome medley with Ed Sheeran?" Well this is the podcast for you.

They ask (and answer) questions like - What made this album so out of step with its times? What was Lynne's role in The Traveling Wilburys? How is Lynne like Kevin Bloody Wilson? Is ten o'clock actually the correct time to rock? My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music.
