    Favorite Bowie Non-Singles

    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

    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!

    Chrissie Hynde & Pretenders

    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!

Sweet Danny ,

The best

I’m 60 years old and have many interests. Music being at the forefront. This is the only music podcast I listen to. I know a lot about the music they talk about, but always learn something new. Highly recommended!

Best music podcast?

My only criticism is that they don’t upload enough, but when the quality is so high I can’t complain.

I don’t even know who these guys are but they dig deep and they have great taste. The Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman episode brought me here but I also recommend the Underrated Solo Albums, Alice Cooper and Kiss episodes (I hate Kiss and I still loved it.)

Chrissy Hynde & Pretenders

Wow! Eye opening. Very enjoyable. Your passion and understanding of her and her music makes it a great show. I stopped at each of your top favs to listen to each on Youtube. More like this or another show digging deeper into Chrissy and her contemporaries, context for her music. Yes, I would listen to another! :)
