African Night Flight: “David Bowie invented rap.” Don’t worry, we immediately redact that pull quote. Inspired by German airmen stationed in Kenya, Bowie does however spit anachronistic, stream-of-consciousness flow that would seem to fit just as well on Kid A as on Stankon... by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
18 min listen
Andy Warhol: “You don’t even have to know what Andy Warhol looks like to know what Andy Warhol looks like.” The man. The myth. The legend. We discuss all things “Andy Warhol.” by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie

After All: “Oh by jingo!” The Neverending Story is basically Crowley for six-year-olds. Speaking of not speaking of ’80s childrens’s movies, wasn’t Labyrinth great? We bring up Beatles once again, and the stylophone makes its first appearance. by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
16 min listen
Atomica: “It’s turning into a Dr. Dre video in here!” Is this song David Bowie’s wry commentary on the isolation of stardom and the futility of human connection? Or is it just big, dumb pop? Let’s get this show on the road! Let’s get “Atomica!” by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
20 min listen

14 min listen
Across The Universe: “It is David Bowie being the Bowiest he could possibly be.” Like Superman and Batman. Like Fred Flintsone and George Jetson. Like peanut butter and bananas. Seldom does a meeting of such colossal importance shake the foundations of what we previously i... by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
17 min listen
Absolute Beginners: “It was Zoobilee Zoo by way of Casablanca.” Love song or cliche? With an 80s music video like this one, who cares?! Thomas and Travis talk about the song, but also Flight of the Conchords, grunge music, a weird 80s kids’ show, S Club 7, by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
21 min listen

All The Madmen: “If our music teacher when we were in school wanted us to not dismiss recorders, they probably should’ve just played this song.” We take a long look at mental illness and Nietzsche.

13 min listen
Afraid: “I wish I was a little bit taller…” Do you believe in Beatles, or do you just believe in John? We discuss Bowie’s ironic twist on the comforts of delusion in the face of self-doubt.

18 min listen
Alabama Song: “… And John Leguizamo in shortface.” As made famous by The Doors, Bowie takes us back to the source, reviving Lotte Lenya’s rendition of this number.

17 min listen
All Saints: “The technology doesn’t exist yet to do this song. Put it away for 18 years, and we’ll come back to it.” (not David Bowie, ca. 1976) How many saints do you get with your current provider? Not enough, you say! Want “All Saints? by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie

25 min listen
Amazing: “What was the Electoral College makeup of Tin Machine?” Soaring proto-alternative arena rock. Witness David Bowie inventing both Pearl Jam and Nirvana. We appeal to Kanye West to find us a bootleg video of this song. by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
22 min listen
As The World Falls Down: “A more commercially viable and palatable Dark Crystal” (Labyrinth tagline) We get reeeaaally distracted and talk mostly about movies and TV from our childhood. Because see there’s this movie Labyrinth about this girl who—oh! by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie

27 min listen
Amsterdam: “And it turned out I was accidentally at a rave.” We talk about our mutual love for dub before suddenly remembering this episode is about David Bowie’s rendition of a Jacques Brel song. We then quickly derail into a polemic against accidental misogyny... by From A To Ziggy — Alphabetical David Bowie
21 min listen
