    Cruising smoothly before surfacing like a submarine sandwich with tasty layers of Kraftwerk and glockenspiel: Did this song inspire the entire sophisti-pop movement or a just a corny chick flick? Is it about freedom, fantasy, or the afterlife? What's a TVO? Is it different for girls? Can you get what you want if you don't know what you want?

    Torture comes and torture goes. We hope you like David Bowie (or can tolerate him somewhat) because this is our most artist-centric episode to date. We start with with an exclusive interview with a real-life Bowie enthusiast: Notorious J.A.M. of VisArt Video and get a whiff of his top-6 essential Bowie albums. Then (about 40-minutes in) AK-47 bursts onto the scene with yet another hefty smattering of Bowie. Had enough Bowie? Well, our Listener Mails got something to say about the good and bad of... you guessed it... BOWIE! But AK-47 also wants to bitch about those YouTube reaction videos. Ironic, considering that this entire podcast is based on reactions. Granted, most ours are more delayed, usually. If anything's worthy of a reaction, it's this new: Fancy video.
