“This is a fecund track.” We talk eyebrows, a guitar shaped like oneself, and Six Degrees of Dave Grohl. Plus, Thomas forgets Richard Hatch’s name (and his role on the original Battlestar Galactica). Did you miss us? Don’t worry, “Everything’s Alright!”

“Relentlessly cheery…” David Bowie never waves bye-bye, because “Everyone Says ‘Hi!’”

“Duck Tales is the kid-friendly version of Indecent Proposal” David Bowie schools us on class warfare, trickle-down economics, and irresponsible child-rearing. Eighty-six that smile, you; we’ll give you something to “’87 and Cry” about!

“Needles everywhere!” Plenty of tactful cactus innuendo as we discuss David Bowie’s “Eight Line Poem.”

“After you get your hands on duck weed, everything makes you quack up.” What do gorilla drummers, Northeastern kids, and flat adverbs have in common? They’re all utterly unrelated to David Bowie’s “The Drowned Girl!”

“Kids love Deliverance.” Why does David Bowie looks so disappointed on this album cover? Plus Jagger stag films, and more post-apocalyptic stuff! Keep your weekend open, because we’re going to the “Drive-In Saturday!”

“The precursor to the running man.” Boy bands entrancing you with ridiculous dance moves? Can’t help getting force-fed by a post-apocalyptic raven militia? Wake up! You’re one of “The Dreamers!”

“A nice bluesy jam between two slices of hippy bread.” When David Bowie presents a song with a message and values we stand for, we “Don’t Sit Down!”
Published 12/28/16
“A mystery wrapped in an enigma stuffed inside a turducken.” David Bowie goes reggae, a genre we both gush over. In fact we mostly talk about that, but “Don’t Look Down” on us, because we also discuss this song!

“Cheddar and synthesizers.” David Bowie ramps up the 80’s cheese & cheese. Get ready for some slow jam & jams. But whatever you do & do, “Don’t Let Me Down & Down!”

“On the floor in your man cave is not classy enough to go French on.” What kind of pillows are these for my David Bowie man cave? I asked for horse hair! “Don’t Bring Me Down!” PS: Thomas is totally serious about changing his name if you send him stuff.

“Fun with homophones!” Life not making cents? Currency-vents giving you banksiety? Have some Denver mint tea, settle up, and take an interest in “Dollar Days!”

“Orwell, that’s life.” Totalitarianism, your permanent record, and you. Didn’t hear it from us, but you will on this episode: it’s “Dodo!”
Published 12/14/16
“Kinda pathetic, really.” Three Ninjas, young David Bowie goes emo (again), and Dusty Springfield chimes in! Want us to talk about these things and more? Sure, we’ll “Do Anything You Say!”

“Mouth love songs. And songs love mouth.” What do bottled water facts and mouth-love playlists have in common? They’re both explored—thoroughly (for that’s our way)—in our episode on “The Dirty Song!”
Published 12/11/16
“Kinda old-timey danger” A gang of James Cagney-like street toughs visits the library. And just how polite are Canadian drug dealers? Take a powder, bluenose; we’re running with the “Dirty Boys!”

“The hero is a guy named Hugh.” Places to go, people to see, languages to speak! “Did You Ever Have A Dream?”
Published 12/07/16
“How better to command Hunger City than astride my tiny horse!” Before Cat People, David Bowie brought us dog people, tiny horses, the whole apocalyptic menagerie. Keep cool, Adam and Mike return for “Diamond Dogs!”
Published 12/05/16
“There’d just been a war, so you had to make riffs last.” Mike and Adam return to discuss Neil Young, Jimmy Page, and low-budget gangster flicks starring David Bowie. Let us dance, dance, dance, like a “Dead Man Walking!”

“It’s like Aqua tried to write an indie record.” Join guests Adam and Mike from Breaking Glass — The Bowie Catalog to decide whether we support this David Bowie song or we’re “Dead Against It!”

“Some good old-fashioned dwelling.” David Bowie really knows how to bum us out. No matter; we could talk about his songs all the “Days” of our lives!
