Breaking Glass
“When the Grateful Dead covered this, it was a four-minute song.”
Is it a wedding? A bar fight? Who cares! Any excuse is good enough for “Breaking Glass!”

Art Decade
“Puns within puns.”
We examine a portrait piece whose name was inspired by a German pun on art deco. Our discussion of Art Decade decayed quickly, so we talk more about 1978’s Stage and live recordings in general. Also a moral diatrabe about audience etiquette at concerts. #cagethefreebird (Also, hashtags are obnoxious.)

All The Madmen
“If our music teacher when we were in school wanted us to not dismiss recorders, they probably should’ve just played this song.”
We take a long look at mental illness and Nietzsche. Also The Matrix! (But not the sequels.) Yea, into the evil! From our cellar dark and grim, join us for this episode of From A To Ziggy!
Also in this episode, we talk about the Beck/Nirvana cover of “The Man Who Sold The World” and Lady Gaga’s tribute at the Grammys.

Across The Universe
“It is David Bowie being the Bowiest he could possibly be.”
Like Superman and Batman. Like Fred Flintsone and George Jetson. Like peanut butter and bananas. Seldom does a meeting of such colossal importance shake the foundations of what we previously imagined possible as when David Bowie met John Lennon.
Ending our week on a high note, we discuss this epic Bowie/Lennon collaboration (no, not that one). We also mention Beck, Jon Brion, and I ♥︎ Huckabees. Plus, find out who doesn’t actually like Let It Be!
Question: If David Bowie took up the pop baton from The Beatles, who took it up from Bowie? Leave a comment here or on our Facebook page.
