Description

It’s the early seventies and Dame Elton John is spaffing out music like it’s nobody’s business. As part of his songwriting sisterhood with Bernie Taupin, Elton had already gifted us with six albums by early 1973, featuring hits such as “Your Song”, “Tiny Dancer” and “Crocodile Rock”. You’d think at this point the gal needed a break. Actually – if you’ve seen Rocket Man, you’d know the gal needed a break. But anyway...  Break he did not, for it was straight back into the studio with our Elt. What came out what undoubtedly Elton’s most experimental offering to date – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. A celebration of bravery, fantasy and bold brassy lassies, GYBR is lauded by many as Ms. John’s best album – but what makes it so (in Andy’s words) qwee-yah? Join Andy and Drew as they take a deep dive into the ultimate diva. You can find this episode's companion playlist on Spotify, and follow us on Instagram at @auralfixationpodcast. Follow the dolls on @drew_down_under and @andrewdoyouthinkyouare. *This episode is dedicated to Elton’s eyebrow during his performance of “Candle in the Wind” at Princess Diana’s funeral.

British expats living and recording in Sydney, Drew and Andy bring a uniquely cross-genre and cross-hemispheric viewpoint to being gay and loving music, shared perhaps only by the Minogue sisters.
