Crack City

“I don’t believe that Nancy Reagan ever smoked crack.”

Ronald Reagan
“Don’t grab that scabby hand”

We discuss Reagan’s drug problem, bicycle seat fetishes, and false endings. Plus yet another Beck tangent, and David Bowie’s best worst lyric. You can find it all here in “Crack City!”

Bus Stop

“I don’t believe that you’re right. But I believe that you believe that you’re right.”

Blackstar Book
“I’m a young man at odds with the Bible…”

Have your fare ready and don’t look strangers in the eye, because today we’re at the “Bus Stop!”

Baby Can Dance

“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 corner because we know “Baby Can Dance!”

Amazing

“What was the Electoral College makeup of Tin Machine?”

Soaring proto-alternative arena rock. Witness David Bowie inventing both Pearl Jam and Nirvana. We appeal to Kanye West to find us a bootleg video of this song. And Alicia Silverstone sky-surfs from a VR biplane. Wait, what? This song is “Amazing!”
