A NOTE ON THE EPISODE: While discussing themes in Hubert Selby Jr.’s novel “Last Exit to Brooklyn” we are not aiming to group transgender people together with some other negative themes from the novel in a negative way. The context is describing similar themes found in the novel and on the album.

Jesse & John reveal their 20-track playlist that they feel captures the "Spiders" era of Bowie's career. They also manage to mention both The Legendary Stardust Cowboy and Buddy Holly without acknowledging their shared hometown of Lubbock Texas!

October 19th is as good a day as any to release another Pinups episode, don't you think?
