Glam rock was more than just a sound—it was a shift in how music, fashion, and identity intertwined.  We explore the rise of Glam in the early ‘70s, with David Bowie as its central figure. Through alter egos like Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke, Bowie use theatricality, androgyny, and science fiction themes to push the boundaries of rock music and stardom.  But Glam wasn't just Bowie. UK Artists like T. Rex and Slade, and Americans like Lou Reed and Alice Cooper each brought their own take, blending rock with elaborate visuals and a playful disregard for traditional norms.  Glam faded after a few short years, but its influence is lasting. Glam style and attitude reappear, over and over, in Rock Music.  Producer and Host: Christian Swain  Head Writer: Richard Evans  Sound Designer: Jerry Danielsen Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Andrew welcomes Dr. Sam (aka Flan F***er Page—yes, really) for a deep dive into _great_ musical collaborations. Along the way, they cover everything from Tito Puente to Sinead O'Connor, the genius of Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, and a story about Ginger Baker's olive farm that involves derelict barns, blind-drunk driving, and horses casually chilling indoors. Expect rants about Gary Boys (and how they ruined Ipswich's traffic flow), the horror of Elton John being "a bit too nice," and why Michael Jackson's legal team was probably modeled after Mr. Burns' army of lawyers. Oh, and the duo revisits Bowie collaborations—because sometimes even the Thin White Duke gets it wrong. Also discussed: - Why siblings harmonize better (scientifically proven during heated sibling arguments). - Prog metal that sounds like unicorns having a fistfight. - How to tell if you've ever accidentally given your partner a migraine with music. This episode is a messy, joyful, and slightly unhinged celebration of collaborations—because life's too short for solo acts. ### Riffs of the week #### Dr Sam's Riff - Tito Puente - Cua Cua (opening) #### Andrew's Riff - Cream - Toad (0:20) ### Dr Sam's track choices 1.

En tan solo cinco años David Bowie protagonizó una de sus mejores y más prolíficas etapas creativas. En el período que fue desde 1972 hasta 1976, el músico británico publicó seis álbumes de su estudio -incluidos entre lo mejor de su discografía-, mostrando al mundo facetas musicales y teatrales muy distintas; para materializar sus inquietudes artísticas, Bowie necesitaba encarnar diferentes personajes. Así fue como se transformó en Ziggy Stardust en su fase glam rock para años después acabar mutando en The Thin White Duke (el Delgado Duque Blanco) con su combinación de soul, funk y experimentación. A lo largo de grabaciones de estudio, tomas alternativas, maquetas y grabaciones en directo, asistimos en este especial a la genialidad de un artista único.Playlist:DAVID BOWIE - StarmanDAVID BOWIE - My Death (Live, Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1973)DAVID BOWIE - It Ain't EasyDAVID BOWIE - Star (aka 'Stars') (Alternative Version - Take 5)DAVID BOWIE - StarDAVID BOWIE - Hang On To Yourself (Demo)DAVID BOWIE - Hang On To Yourself (Early Ziggy Session Take)DAVID BOWIE - Hang On To Yourself (Live, BBC, 1972)DAVID BOWIE - Velvet Goldmine (Ziggy Session Outtake)DAVID BOWIE - John, I'm Only Dancing (Alternative Trident Studios Version) DAVID BOWIE - Life On Mars?

On episode 21 of Past Prime, Steve and Matty put on their dayglo, double-breasted suits and grab their headless guitars to fully absorb the proto-Alt noise of Tin Machine "II," the second album from David Bowie's alleged band of equals. Alongside Staten Island everyman, Reeves Gabrels, and two of Soupy Sales kiddos, the once Thin White Duke maintained he was just one fourth of a middle-aged band that was obsessed with The Pixies, but who also might have predicted Grunge. Our co-hosts tackle everything from the album's de-phallused cover, to their one great hit, to the contributions of drummer, Hunt Sales, who liked to perform in his underwear and who wrestled the mic away from Bowie for the album's most bombastic, least defensible moments. "II" (1991) was the band's final studio album. After a world tour that spawned a live album ("Oy Vey Baby"), Bowie married Iman, pulled Gabrels aside and said farewell to the Sales brothers. Though for years he insisted that Tin Machine would return, it never came to be. They survive primarily as the butt of jokes about middle-aged rock star missteps and as an awkward transition from Bowie's dry period to his less dry turn towards Trent Reznor. "II" is not available on most streaming services. It wants to be forgotten, but our co-hosts won't let that happen because middle age comes for everyone -- even Ziggy Stardust. To read more about Tin Machine's "II" check out the full essay at Past Prime.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 21, 2022 is: iconoclast • eye-KAH-nuh-klast • noun Iconoclast originally referred to someone who destroys religious images or who opposes their veneration. It is now used to refer broadly to anyone who attacks widely accepted beliefs or institutions. // The comedian had developed a reputation as a contrarian and an iconoclast for whom no topic was off-limits. See the entry > Examples: "David Bowie was the ultimate iconoclast, a man who took his unique vocal instrument and used it to reinvent rock music almost album to album. From otherworldly Ziggy Stardust to the ethereal Thin White Duke, Bowie played fast and loose with style and sexuality throughout a five-decade career." — Marco della Cava, USA Today, 28 May 2022 Did you know? Iconoclast comes from the Greek word eikonoklastēs, which translates literally as “image destroyer.” While the destruction wrought by today's iconoclasts is figurative—in modern use, an iconoclast is someone who criticizes or opposes beliefs and practices that are widely accepted—the first iconoclasts directed their ire at religious icons, those representations of sacred individuals used as objects of veneration. The Byzantine Empire's Iconoclastic Controversy occurred in the 8th and 9th centuries, but the word iconoclast didn't find its way to English until the 17th century. Figurative use came later still.
