Dem Vinyl Boyz are back again this week to drop the needle on David Bowie's fifteenth studio album, 'Let's Dance'. This was Bowie's best selling album of his career, reaching number one on charts in numerous countries. This commercial success led David Bowie into becoming a major superstar and getting well recognized by the populous. On this album, Bowie apparently chose to only sing and played no instruments, instead he got some new players including Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan playing the lead guitar. Let's Dance has been reviewed musically as a post-disco record, with elements of dance-rock, dance-pop and new wave. It holds three cover songs: Iggy Pop's "China Girl", which Bowie and Pop had recorded together for the latter's The Idiot (1977); Metro's "Criminal World"; and a reworking of "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)", originally recorded by Bowie and Giorgio Moroder in 1982 for the film "Cat People". The album also contained four hit singles that were all commercial successes, but the air play of music videos for "Let's Dance" and "China Girl'' on MTV were one of the main sources for the success for this album. Overall this is one of Bowie's most captivating and successful albums of his career, selling over ten million copies worldwide. Thanks for tuning in and remember to like and subscribe !!

This episode we explore Bowie's succinctly titled The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. We journey on through Bowie's legacy to queer audiences, his vast array of bangers, and how we turned death into an art form. Facts are facts – David Bowie made life more bearable for othered people around the world. From the Seventies onwards, queer people could see parts of themselves in an unconventional patron saint – sexually ambiguous, highly successful, and full of joy. He also probably wasn't gay. As in, putting his d*** in other men. But how does that impact the other facets of his queerness, and how much does it matter? Further questions we may or may not explore are:Does Angie Bowie deserve more than immortalisation as a @loveofhuns meme?Is it BAO-ee, or BOH-ee? Why did Andy forget to mention how incredible "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" is?A special thank you to the Bowie stans in our logical families, David Collings and Liam Casey, for aiding this deep dive. Additionally, our undying gratitude to our friends at Forbes Street Studios, particularly Anthony Garvin.

Pro/Con's resident mascot, Celeste the Cat, was very pleased with this week's episode: "Catwoman" (2004). This weirdo adaptation is the last DC movie from the pre-Nolan era. More interesting is how closely it mirrors 2019's "Joker" in a surprising number of ways. It isn't exactly the most well-developed piece of pop feminist cinema, but it's distinctly more unique than most superhero fare.

Episode 49: David Bowie - Let's Dance (1983) Part 3 The month of February is coming to a close, and so is Brian and Sarah's discussion of the 1983 David Bowie album, "Let's Dance." This episode finds our hosts ready to flip the record to Side Two of this classic LP. Part 3 - Track by Track, continued Side Two, like Side One, also contains four tracks. However, only one of the tracks on Side Two was released as the A-side of a single, and it actually came out a year before the album did. Brian and Sarah spend some time discussing the differences between the movie soundtrack version of "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" and the album version. Another song on Side Two is revealed to be a cover, although unlike "China Girl," David Bowie didn't have a hand in writing it. While Brian and Sarah both enjoy the song, they have some issues and questions about Bowie's decision to include it on the album and the lyrics he changed. But by the time they get to the last song on "Let's Dance," there's no question about it-- both hosts dislike it immensely! Ricochet Criminal World Cat People (Putting Out Fire) Shake It Part 4 - Extra Credit Since "Let's Dance" contains some covers, Brian decides a good topic for the Extra Credit question is "Favorite Bowie Covers." Each host chose their top two songs, but it turns out only three songs are discussed. Which song made both hosts' short list? Listen to find out! Part 5 - Final Review and Rating Sarah decides to take the boxing theme portrayed on the album cover and apply it to her review of the album. Is "Let's Dance" a heavyweight champion, or is it a 98-pound weakling? Her track-by-track (or should we say round-by-round?) analysis provides the answer. Brian then follows up with a lot of mathematical formulas and calculations to determine his final rating for the album. After all, if cold, hard numbers worked for Bowie in the 80s, why can't they work for Brian's album rating as well?

“Cat People is an erotic thriller in the same way Caligula is a historical epic.” Today we discuss a song (and the remake of a song) that’s the theme to a movie that’s a remake of another movie. We also discuss the movie (the remake, not the original). Also Australian music, hipster fire departments, and explosive guitar … Continue reading "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)"
