  • Ep 71 : Ziggy Stardust the Motion Picture (sort of) vs. Shadow Kingdom, or the Great Deluxe Role Reversal of 2023

    30/03/2024 Duración: 01h32min

    Dear Bowie vs. Dylan consumers: Please find below a synopsis, free of charge, from one of our esteemed children, Mabel, of the following episode, #71 in an unending series.  Mabel also serves as an executive producer of the podcast, and was instrumental in actually getting Jake to post this sweet ep, which was truly meant to go live to the world at large not too long after 2023 ended, and 2024 began, because of course the subject matter of said sweet ep is a rundown of all of the many doings of David Bowie and Bob Dylan in the year 2023: It was super cool and it now should be called: "Mabel's Dad's Cool Songs", and in Dad's cool songs, they talk about Bowie vs. Dylan, because they're really cool.  But there's no Charlie! Just Mabel and Dad; that's why it's "Mabel's Dad's Cool Songs".  I'll bet you can't resist clicking "Download" now, can you, on the latest episode of Mabel's Dad's Cool Songs.  

  • Ep70: Bowie vs. Dylan, or the Top (Bottom) 5 (10) Songs (Are They?) of Their ENTIRE CAREERS

    15/08/2023 Duración: 01h03min

    Quick survey, yes or no questions, real quick, no skin off your back: Are you a frequent listener of podcasts?  Yes. Do you frequently listen to podcasts that have music as their subject? Yes. Do some of your most preferred music podcasts fall loosely under the category of "classic rock"?  I guess, but don't you find those genre signifiers outmoded and narrow in scope, especially as they pertain to certain artists who might happen to have decades-long, groundbreaking, and chameleonic careers?   ....... As a listener of classic rock podcasts, do you take a virulently entrenched stance as to who's better, David Bowie or Bob Dylan?  HELL YES. As a listener of classic rock podcasts with a virulently entrenched stance as to who's better, David Bowie or Bob Dylan, would you be willing to engage in any sort of physical altercation with a member of the opposite preferred artist's camp, no matter how frighteningly it might escalate?  Why, I would fight someone right now given the opportunity. When listening to this hi

  • Ep69: Divine Symmetry vs. The Modern Philosophy of Song or The Moonage Near-Fragmenting of 2022

    24/02/2023 Duración: 01h47min

    Find out how shocked the boys are, on a scale of 1-10, that the Bowie camp decided to release TWO good boxsets in consecutive years. Spoiler alert: the answer is 11. But not to fear!  They also released literally 68 other things that weren't nearly as shockingly excellent. And what's that, you ask? Did Dylan do some stuff, too, whether good, bad, or ugly?  Spoiler alert: the answer is maybe? 2022 is the new boss that you meet that's the same as the old boss, on this episode of Bowie vs. Dylan.

  • Ep68: Bowie Vs. Dylan, or the Best Archival Releases of their ENTIRE CAREERS

    01/09/2022 Duración: 01h33min

    Say there: Are you one of the lucky few Bowie vs. Dylan fans who have invented and/or participated in time travel, thereby allowing yourselves to go forward a few (dozen) years in time and pick up the Bowie vs. Dylan archival release deluxe edition box set, and then travel back to the present day to compare that future release, which of course includes Episode #68 (Top 10 Archival Releases), to the current one (Episode #68, Top Ten Archival Releases), just to see if the archival bonus material is truly revelatory, or just another shameless cash grab from we here at Bowie vs. Dylan?   You did?   Well, then can we offer you a full refund on this podcast in the present day?  Or at the very least, can we offer a compromise that I think will work out excellently for both parties?  Here's the deal: we here will send you there compact discs of each 10 minute segment of "Ep 68" (as its colloquially known in the future, but of course you already know that), each of the 14 discs in its own lovingly rendered mass-produc

  • Ep67 : Width of a Circle vs. Springtime in New York or The Brilliant Jive Self-Portraiting of 2021

    14/01/2022 Duración: 01h38min

    Thanks podcast audience, for choosing and paying handsomely for this LIVE from bowievs.dylan.com concert experience!  We thank you kindly for your patronage, and we hope you enjoy this LIVE concert experience! Editor's note: this experience is neither concert, nor LIVE.  What's that you say?  You figured that out the moment you clicked on the link that you paid handsomely for?  You didn't want to pay for a tasteful black and white-filmed rendition of BvD's greatest early hits, only this time in differing Americana-flavored arrangements? Well, that's all fine and good, but I bet you also didn't want to pay handsomely for 6 nearly-identical David Bowie concerts from the 90's, plus a frickin' sold-out BOX to house them in, plus shipping and handling on each and every one, only to find that neither the CD's or the box were actually arriving on time, did you?  But you did. And I bet you didn't want to pay handsomely for 2 separate (but nearly identical) super-deluxe editions of a sprawling Bob Dylan Bootleg Ser

  • Louder Than Sound Ep28: Late Bloomers : Yo La Tengo - Painful

    31/12/2021 Duración: 29min

    Charlie discusses Yo La Tengo's 1993 album "Painful", which is his entry for the "Late Bloomers" theme.  Jake listens to it at the gentle behest of Charlie, and wants to discuss it as well, but is too busy gazing at his shoes and tinkering with that damn organ to really do it justice. Ouch!  That really hurts, it's almost painful, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep27 : Late Bloomers : Wilco - Being There

    31/12/2021 Duración: 33min

    On this episode, Jake discusses Wilco's 1995 album "Being There", which is his entry for the "Late Bloomers", or as it's more colloquially known, "Albums We Didn't Like at First but Came To Love", theme.  Chaz listens to it  at the gentle behest of Jake, and wants to discuss it as well, but is too busy traveling in a time machine to recommend it to Jake again in the year 2000, just so that he can take credit for Jake's hopeless love affair with it even more in the year 2021 on this podcast. There's rows and rows of houses, with the windows painted blue, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep26 : Best Albums of 1970-1974 - #5 through #1

    31/12/2021 Duración: 48min

    t's an extravaganza!   If by extravaganza, you mean a continuing little break from our usual format to present a celebration and countdown of hosts Jake and Charlie's favorite albums from the years of our Lord 1970-1974 in an alternating format that starts this time at #5 and finally ends at #1, then yes!   It's definitely an extravaganza, on this edition of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep25 : Best Albums of 1970-1974 - #10 through #6

    31/12/2021 Duración: 41min

    t's an extravaganza!   If by extravaganza, you mean a little break from our usual format to present a celebration and countdown of hosts Jake and Charlie's favorite albums from the years of our Lord 1970-1974 in an alternating format but stopping at our number 6 album and continuing next time with the rest, then yes!   It's definitely an extravaganza, on this edition of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep24 : Breakup Albums : The Jayhawks - Mockingbird Time

    31/12/2021 Duración: 27min

    On this episode, Jake discusses The Jayhawks' 2011 album "Mockingbird Time", which is his entry for the "Breakup Albums" theme.  Chaz listens to it  at the gentle behest of Jake, and wants to discuss it as well, but is exhausted by the thought of how he's going to go about becoming estranged from Jake again, honestly, this time it better stick because Jake's just out here touring with the Louder Than Sound podcast and using the name even though clearly it wouldn't work without him, and now he's never speaking to Jake again.  Again. Plus the last Louder Than Sound album was absolutely terrible, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep23 : Break Up Albums : St Vincent - Masseduction

    31/12/2021 Duración: 34min

    Charlie discusses St Vincent's 2019 album "Masseduction", which is his entry for the "Break Up Albums" theme.  Jake listens to it at the gentle behest of Charlie, and wants to discuss it as well, but is too engaged at the moment with popping pills and reveling in some light and consensual BDSM. The safe words are "Louder than Sound" on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep22 : Unlikely Collaborations : Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Raising Sand

    24/12/2021 Duración: 30min

    On this episode, Jake discusses Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' album "Raising Sand", which is his entry for the "Unlikely Collaborators" theme.  Chaz listens to it as well at the gentle behest of Jake, and wants to discuss it as well, but the sand raised by the artists is in his eyes and scratching them badly, plus all of Alison Krauss' 27 Grammys are clogging up the works. There's a lot going on here, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder than Sound Ep21 : Unlikely Collaborations : Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach - Painted From Memory

    24/12/2021 Duración: 34min

    Charlie discusses Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach's album "Painted From Memory", which is his entry for the "Unlikely Collaborations" theme.  Jake listens to it at the gentle behest of Charlie, and wants to discuss it as well, but found himself awash in a pastiche-tinged 60's pop fever dream instead. It was a bit of challenge overall, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder than Sound Ep20 : Albums of One : John Vanderslice, featuring The Magik Magik Orchestra - White Wilderness

    24/12/2021 Duración: 29min

    On this episode, Jake discusses John Vanderslice's 2011 album "White Wilderness", which is his entry for the "Albums Of One" theme.  Chaz listens to it as well at the gentle behest of Jake, and wants to discuss it as well, but is so busy ravaging the indie legend John Vanderslice with John Mayer and Jack Johnson comparisons that he disappears up his own butt in a spectacular display of poor referentialism.   But at least he likes the album alot, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep19 : Albums of One : Laurie Anderson - Big Science

    24/12/2021 Duración: 33min

    Charlie discusses Laurie Anderson's 1982 album "Big Science", which is his entry for the "Albums of One" theme.  Jake listens to it at the gentle behest of Charlie, and wants to discuss it as well, but can't speak about the mundane yet profound outrageousness of life (and consequently, the album) without a constant "huh" noise of his own creation on an endless loop in the background, and he couldn't figure out how to produce one in time even though the technology has existed since the late 1970's. But then again, Chaz doesn't like the color of his sweaters anymore anyway, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep18 : Music Recorded Before 1955 : Roy Acuff - The Great Roy Acuff

    24/12/2021 Duración: 33min

    On this episode, Jake discusses Roy Acuff's nebulous compilation of material recorded in the early 50's "The Great Roy Acuff", which is his entry for the "Music Recorded Before 1955" theme.  Chaz listens to it as well at the gentle behest of Jake, and wants to discuss it, but gets so into the country-western vibe that his voice gets stuck in a twang so twangy that it becomes incomprehensible. And don't even get me started on the near-yodeling, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep17 : Music Recorded Before1955 : Washington Phillips - And His Manzarene Dream

    24/12/2021 Duración: 33min

    Charlie discusses Washington Phillips' compilation album "Washington Phillips and His Manzarene Dream", which is his entry for the "Music Recorded Before 1955" theme, it having been recorded in the late 1920's and early 1930's.  Jake listens to it and discusses as well, but gets so worked up and full of the genuine spirit that he leaves the podcast right then to become a full-time jackleg preacher, which he realizes is a bit against the spirit of jackleg preaching, as he thinks by definition is a part-time unpaid gig. But so is this podcast anyway, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep16 : Music Recorded Before 1955 : Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours

    24/12/2021 Duración: 49min

    Very special guest Tim Rebers discusses Frank Sinatra's 1955 album "In the Wee Small Hours", which is the inaugural entry for new theme "Music Recorded Before 1955".  Jake and Charlie listen to it and discuss in tandem as well, but are frankly not as knowledgable and charming as Tim, so they resort to crooning sad sack tunes about watching the breath they breathe from their lungs on a cold day in January that's enough past Christmas to feel bittersweetly about it, but also far enough from spring that the frigid air burns not just their lungs and nose but also their yet-thawed hearts.  They think it's a metaphor?

  • Louder Than Sound Ep15 : Albums That Hit Us Hard in 2020 : Bridget Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg - Bonnie and Clyde

    17/12/2021 Duración: 30min

    Charlie discusses Bridget Bardot and Serge Gainsbourgs' 1968 collaborative album "Bonnie and Clyde", which is his not first, but second entry for the "Albums That Hit Us Hard in 2020" theme.  Jake listens to it and discusses as well, but got so, so sick from trying to chain-smoke unfiltered French cigarettes for the entirety of its running time, and about halfway through got his face stuck in an overly-swarthy leer when his unfortunate wife accidentally walked in on him listening. Comme ci, comme ca, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.

  • Louder Than Sound Ep14 : Albums That Hit Us Hard in 2020 : Aimee Mann - Mental Illness

    17/12/2021 Duración: 31min

    Is everyone ready for 2022 yet? On this episode, Jake discusses Aimee Mann's 2017 album "Mental Illness", which is his not first, but SECOND entry for the "Albums That Hit Us Hard in 2020" theme.  Chaz listens to it as well, and discusses as well, at the gentle behest of Jake, and wants to discuss it as well, but is so overwhelmed by the general classiness and empathy of the album that his vocal cords start crying every time he tries to say something. We're looking at a goose snow cone, on this episode of Louder Than Sound.
