    The A to Z of David Bowie - Y and Z Part 1

    OK -Ā we are now scarily close to the end of the Alphabetā€¦and with it the end of our definitive Podcast journey through the work, life, times, friends and enemies of David Bowie. In this episode we tackle 2 letters! Damn weā€™re good. Y = Young Americans, Davidā€™s fearless foray into that thorny genre knownĀ as 'Blue Eyed Soul'. Of course it is a complete masterpiece. We also take a quick look at a man who could legitimately have turned up under the letter J (for Joe) or D (for Duncan). As it stands we opted for Z (for Zowie), Davidā€™s uber-talented son.

    The A to Z of David Bowie - W Part 1

    The hero of this Episode started off as a Rat and eventually found himself a Spider! Weā€™re talking about the irrepressible Michael or ā€˜Mickā€™ or ā€˜Woodyā€™ Woodmansey. From almost becoming a Spectacle expert in Driffield Yorkshire - he ended up as a Rock n Roll spectacle as the drummer in the hottest band in the world circa 1973. These days he is Holier than Thou...alongside hisĀ old mucker Tony Visconti in the band Holy Holy. We love Woody. If you donā€™t already you will by the time youā€™ve finishedĀ listening to this!

    In this Episode Pinky and Perky (thatā€™s Bob and Marc to you) dig deep into the Underground. The Velvet Underground. Only to discoverĀ the whimsical David Bowie currently ensconced in the world of the Laughing Gnome had gone ā€˜rogueā€™ with his Lou Reed inspired alter-ego! Here we see David as an unsure bohemian artist heading up the slightly bewildered Riot Squad outfit. It wouldnā€™t last. His friendship with Lou Reed howeverā€¦would.

    The A to Z of David Bowie - V Part 2

    In this ever so slightly ā€˜fruityā€™ episode of the A TO Z OF DAVID BOWIE Rob and Marc get all hot and bothered whilst encounter the career of Bowie 70ā€™s PR lady Cherry Vanilla. Her tales of nudity and pleasures of the flesh might be a little shocking to the faint of heart so please tread carefully! Much more innocent tho are the tales of Laughing Gnome producer Mike Vernon! And to put this episode to bed our two ā€˜nosey-neighboursā€™ take a brutal swipe at the debacle that was Velvet Goldmine (film) and applaud the source of its ā€˜inspiration' - Velvet Goldmine (song).

    In this latest chapter looking at all things Bowie (and related) Marc Riley and Rob Hughes sink to new depths courtesy of 'Woody Woodmanseyā€™s U-Boat', and as unlikely as it seems they get a bit Benny Hill in the company of Salvador Dali, they get cosmic whilst scanning the skies for UFOā€™sā€¦and then take swift look at Davidā€™s 'Uncle Arthur'ā€¦a Song not a Relative. But then again - ITā€™S ALL RELATIVE! INNNIT!
