From A To Ziggy Alphabetical David Bowie

“Cucumber and Celery crunch together in perfect harmony” Al B. Sure! to let you know how we solved race relations in our episode on “Black Tie White Noise!”

“Putting Lego bricks together to build a structure out of it—except, guitar.” You never know, we might talk about Richard Linklater movies here on “Black Country Rock!”

“He was out of town during that whole scene.” Even a glass eye in a duck’s ass can see that we’re talking about “A Big Hurt” here!

“Gold-tipped match sticks” Ignorance is strength as we try to recall that book we totally read in school and how it relates to “Big Brother!”

“It’s like Koyaanisqatsi the song.” Travis and Thomas purport to unpack the multifaceted meanings of “The Bewlay Brothers.”

“It’s optimiserable.” Today we’re talking about avant garde sax, Puff Daddy, and Dashboard Confessional. Is this still From A To Ziggy? What’s gone “Betty Wrong?”

“This is one of those episodes where there’s the potential to offend some people.” Will we have any listeners left after this episode? We can only hope for “A Better Future!”

“The Macarena that is existence.” Why should you listen to us talk about life, love, and Pete Townshend windmilling on a David Bowie song? “Because You’re Young!”

“I might just yell ‘Fetch a priest’ at work from now on.” My-my! On time it is released. Today’s episode is the “Beauty And The Beast!”

“This would be in the gritty reboot of Labyrinth.” David Bowie wants you to come out and play rhythm because he likes the “Beat Of Your Drum!”

“You can’t go wrong with two shades of orange.” Save the date, folks, because David Bowie pops the big question with “Be My Wife!”

“It’s another cut-up.” The Blitz was (When we talk) a major campaign (about B) in the (we mean) “Battle For Britain (The Letter).”

“He’s like a musical salamander.” Young Davy Jones does a classic Western folk ballad—and we discuss everything from Shel Talmy to Siri—from behind the “Bars Of The County Jail!”

“This is the kind of song where cocaine gets a writing credit in the liner notes.” David Bowie Bowie makes Iggy Pop pop in his own cover cover of the song “Bang Bang!”

“He’s like an ancient version of Patti Smith.” Baal returns to sing the prelude to his own death. We also talk about the Saddest Song Ever Written™, but this episode is mostly about the Holy Holy show last week! It’s “Ballad Of The Adventurers!”

“You don’t grow into a baby, right?” Hallo humans, can you feel us thinking? Is this thing on? We’re thinking (and talking well) about Tin Machine’s “Baby Universal!”

“This is a non-mutual open relationship.” Don’t tell Baby, but she’s in an exclusive relationship with Davy Jones. “Baby Loves That Way!”

“It’s got a very different flavor from your non—Tin-Machine Bowie. Your organic, free-range Bowie.” Channeling a discussion from an alternate timeline, we discuss the sound of Tin Machine, and why this album is either a comfy reverb blanket or a sonic Magic Eye. We try (and probably fail) to be good feminists. Nobody puts us in the … Continue reading "Baby Can Dance"

“He wants the Young Bavarians.” Pull up a chair and have some vulture soup as we listen to “Baal’s Hymn!”

“It’s turning into a Dr. Dre video in here!” Is this song David Bowie’s wry commentary on the isolation of stardom and the futility of human connection? Or is it just big, dumb pop? Let’s get this show on the road! Let’s get “Atomica!”
