A Space Poddity 7 : Scary Monsters...(Part 1) Aug 14, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, your intrepid hosts look under the bed and open the coat closets to find David Bowie's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps). This 1980 album captured the quintessential Bowie sound and style that (spoiler alert) your hosts swooned over for an episode so long we had to split it into two parts. In this first chapter, we talk about the year 1980 and all goings on during that time period. We also delve into the first four tracks of Scary Monsters.

Next week will bring the thrilling conclusion.

Feedback and audience participation encouraged! Go to the following links to let us know what you think!

B-Side: The Buddha of Suburbia Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

In this B-Side episode, we quickly look at David Bowie's 1993 soundtrack album, The Buddha of Suburbia. The soundtrack was considered a lost release for many years after it was deleted, despite Bowie claiming it was his favorite album. Do the hosts agree?

A Space Poddity 6 : Black Tie White Noise Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

In this episode we learn that David loved the 90s almost as much as he loved Iman. In this episode of Space Poddity - Pod Like a Hole Phase 2, the audio chrononauts travel to 1993 and dissect an artifact very much of it's time: Black Tie White Noise. Marvel at the plastic production. Be amazed at the on the nose commentary. Envy the giant shoulder pads. And be thankful it's not as bad as Never Let Me Down but not by much. 2.5 hours of Eric, Marc, and Steve trying to mine for gold in David's New Jack City.

Show notes

Before we put on our black ties and enjoy the white noise of the Wedding, your friends at Pod Like A Hole set some time aside to discuss the early 90s Bowie single Real Cool World. We also dive into some talk about the absurd 1992 film Cool World, Brad Pitt, live action animated films, and for some reason - Adventure Games. #monkeyisland.

A Space Poddity 5 : Diamond Dogs Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

Your Bowie Boys have returned to review the oft misunderstood mishmash of the 1974 dystopia known as Diamond Dogs. Marc, Eric and Steve dive deep into the dirt and grime of Hunger City 1984. We give you a track-by-track analysis of the album, a little peek into David's life and recording process at the time, and pop culture in 1974. In addition, we go over some scraps and B-Sides from this time, as well as the Bowie live albums "David Live!" and "Cracked Actor" as well as the accompanied BBC film.

Enjoy! Let us know your ranking (how many out of 5 Bolts?)

A Space Poddity 04 : Station to Station Jun 12, 2019

Show notes

In the latest installment of Pod Like a Hole, the gang goes Station To Station. They cover the crazy recording sessions that David and the band lived through, the nutzo influences our hero was living through, and the bonkers full length feature film The Man Who Fell To Earth lived through. All in the year 1976. This is all preamble to our track by track analysis of the 6 excellent songs found on Station to Station. It was a late night and Eric drank all the milk and Marc unleashed the secret of peppers. If you'd like to support Marc's pepper habit please consider becoming a patron over at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/join/podlikeahole. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as Steve did keeping Thin White Duke hours editing it.
