Shownotes

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  David Bowie finally locked in on a way to connect with the record buying public - by transforming himself into an alien savior / fame monster. The guys continue their 200th episode celebration and talk about unintelligible but cool lyrics, the melodic bass of Trevor Bolder, and those persistent sharp 4th notes
