Battlecries + Champagne: A non-linear David Bowie podcast

Peter & The Wolf/Atlantis Squarepants (Bowie's Voicework)

In this episode of Battlecries + Champagne, Aaron, Andrew and John investigate David Bowie's rarest bubble of output: his voicework in 1978's Peter And The Wolf (Sergei Prokofiev's symphonic fairytale) and 2007's Atlantis Squarepants (a TV movie in the Spongebob Squarepants universe).   Though the trio are just saplings in the world of audio recording themselves, they decide to tackle Bowie's spoken word oeuvre head on.   00:00 Introduction 06:39 Where Are We Now?

Labyrinth

We can show you a good time!

Hear what John, Andrew and Aaron (the chilliest bunch in the land) think of the film and specifically David Bowie's musical contributions.   02:36 Where Are We Now? * film context and production history 23:31 Let’s Face The Music and Dance * scene-by-scene review and overall appreciation of the film 1:27:41 Your Record Sleeves Are Better Than Your Songs * analysis of album artwork, singles artwork and movie posters 1:35:32 VideoTime * comments on the project's music videos (Underground and As The World Falls Down)   If you want to contact the show, we’d love to hear from you!
