88. David Bowie: Hunky Dory (1971)

This week's podcast is truly an extrava danza for all you pretty things as we prove again that Beck Did it Better is the best podcast about David Bowie when we cover Hunky Dory. And to clarify, we're not talking about that fish from Finding Nemo. So just close your Bing browsers now.

 

But before the guys get to the album, we become the best podcast about cars when Aaron shares an unfortunate, but funny, story about how his new car met his retaining wall. Matt answers whether it's ok to sit across from your spouse on a plane in another Flight Tonight. Then the guys talk about fine dining when Russell is eating in the dark, chowing down snacks and eating slices of pork, why did we wear nice clothes. Rob also asks the listeners if people know what a cakewalk is. And if you just searched, "Is Mona Alive?" and landed here, we are definitely the podcast for you.

 

Then at 59:00 we talk about David Bowie's piano pop rock album Hunky Dory. We discuss whether the Beatles influenced this album, what Bowie's lyrics mean, and the best songs recorded on the Trident Studio's Bechstein grand piano.

 

Finally, the guys share their experiences of when they found out they were going to be a parent, and for some it was never a long journey.

Please mention feet if you do review the show. If we can get "ROSIE LOVES FEET" to be something that is searchable online, I feel like this will all be worth it. 

 

 

Next week, the hosts are Bad Dudes when we become the best neo soul podcast and talk about Erykah Badu and her debut studio album, Baudizm.
