Little Miss Lady A & The Gribshnobler: Hey Horses

It's been a long wait, but the David Bowie tribute is finally done and I am rather proud of the result. For the bulk of the episode I am joined by LadyMissGee, Scrumbles, and Shannon for a discussion of David Bowie, his work in music and film, and my top 11 favorite Bowie songs. Also included is a verbal tribute from Roman Guzman (of the Roman's World Progressive Rock podcast), a new experimental piece of music by myself, and a lengthy coda with Bungle No Face discussing some of the celebrity tributes to Bowie and including a reading of "In Memory of My Great Gay Saint" an article by Alex Frank from Pitchfork media, and two of my favorite Bowie Songs.

To accompany this episode I also made an epic Youtube playlist featuring pretty much every single Bowie song, video, and movie clip mentioned in the podcast, plus a few extras, thus providing you hours of listening and viewing pleasure. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu4Ei7kM19lREjlCD2WEPLyMIYH8PllJP

The Gribshnobler has been going out to the movies again and he wants to share his enthusiasm. In the first half of this show he and LadyMsGee discuss how they feel about the multiple oscar nominated The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Will Poulter, and directed by Alejandro Inarritu. In the second half he joins The Contrarian in the ContrariCar to talk about Ben Stiller's Zoolander 2, just released tonight.

SPOILER WARNING: some spoilers for The Revenant, some cameos revealed for Zoolander 2 (although no details are given).

Song is Survivor Type: Inspired by the short story by Stephen King, featuring Charles Matthew Sellers on guitar and Erich Kimball on bass.

The Gribshnobler is joined by LadyMsGee to discuss the critically acclaimed action blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road and its feminist subtext while sharing the many Facebook posts and discussions LadyMsGee had while we were initially watching the film. As a bonus at the end of the episode we also include our reaction to the new Todd Haynes' film Carol.

WARNING: Although ultimately we have many positive things to say about Mad Max (especially the 2nd half), we are still quite irreverent towards to film and make a lot of jokes at its expense, so if you don't want to hear that you have been warned.

SPOILER WARNING: Many spoilers for both Mad Max: Fury Road and Carol.

Part 2 of our tribute to Chris Squire, the recently passed bass player for progressive rock band Yes. Sadly, due to an error with garageband the entire last quarter of my conversation with musician Rand Kelly was lost. Nonetheless I do have a remaining portion to share, so you can still hear Rand and I discuss the Yes albums from Going For the One through Big Generator, with special focus on Chris Squire's contributions to each. Also featuring more songs by John Demarkis

Other albums covered: Relayer, Tormato, and 90125.

Happy New Year everyone! Stay tuned for more episodes coming soon.
