    Favorite Bowie Non-Singles

    Believe it or not, Dave and Lex have never dug deep on David Bowie, on- OR off-air. That changes with this episode. With a slight twist, of course. They won't be talking hits. This episode is strictly about their favorite Bowie songs that were never released as singles. All decades are spanned in this retrospective, and neither host has an idea of what the other has selected. Let's sparkle some stardust and get to listening!

    Ballads Of

    We stumbled across the idea in our very first episode, and then unearthed it with its recent remaster... In this episode, we gather up our favorite songs with "Ballad Of" in the title. Most are true story-songs, as traditional ballads should be, but others are ballads in name only. It's a loosey-goosey exploration of theme, with more than a few trips down memory lane. Did we forget a great Ballad Of? You know where to tell us! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Chrissie Hynde & Pretenders

    Chrissie Hynde's gravitational presence put her right at the heart of rock & roll's most famous scenes over and over again. And that happened before she recorded her first Pretenders album. Lex and Dave devote over two hours to the indisputable Queen of Cool, who paved the way for the raw energy sound of '90s female rock stars. From the streets of Ohio to the streets of London, this tale tracks the birth, death, and afterlife of punk. Unfasten your safety pins! Enjoying the heck out of what we do?

    Mott The Hoople (Remastered)

    The episode that launched it all... is back, cleaned up and injected with archival clips and new music.  If you've never listened to our first episode about Mott The Hoople or found it unlistenable because of amateurish audio quality, we encourage you to check out this fresh version. There are a still some imperfections, to be sure, but our conversation has some terrific nuggets and Mott's music always delivers. We recorded this episode at Common House in Charlottesville, VA, and you can hear some background ambiance.  At the time, we recorded the episode with the hope that people might find our mutual Hoople and Hunter obsession engaging enough to come back for more, but we weren't totally confident that we had gold. 30+ epic episodes later, it's hard to believe there was ever any doubt. Thanks for your support along the way! Enjoy and don't forget our companion Mott playlist... Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
