Fall Dog Bombs The Moon

2018-05-3123:55

“Destruction for the sake of destruction…” Today West Anthony joins us to discuss the Bush administration, Trump, and our song today: “Fall Dog Bombs The Moon!” Have a listen to West’s film music podcast Musical Notation (@notationpod) and follow him on Twitter @drwestanthony!

Everything’s Alright

2018-01-0816:45

“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!”

Everyone Says ‘Hi’

2017-03-2322:53

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

’87 And Cry

2017-03-0817:08

“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!

Eight Line Poem

2017-02-1917:24

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

The Drowned Girl

2017-02-0918:33

“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!”

Drive-In Saturday

2017-01-0221:22

“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 Dreamers

2016-12-2914:18

“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!”

Don’t Sit Down

2016-12-2809:22

“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!”

Don’t Look Down

2016-12-2622:23

“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!

Don’t Let Me Down & Down

2016-12-2519:12

“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!”

Don’t Bring Me Down

2016-12-2218:10

“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.

Dollar Days

2016-12-1716:10

“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!”

Dodo

2016-12-1416:01

“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!”

Do Anything You Say

2016-12-1219:45

“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!”

The Dirty Song

2016-12-1121:06

“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!”

Dirty Boys

2016-12-0914:21

“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!”

Did You Ever Have A Dream

2016-12-0720:44

“The hero is a guy named Hugh.” Places to go, people to see, languages to speak! “Did You Ever Have A Dream?”
