S5E228 - David Bowie 'Diamond Dogs' with Oscar Herrera

<p>In 1974, the one-of-a-kind chameleon that is <strong>David Bowie</strong> was poised to shed his Ziggy Stardust persona for the Thin White Duke. Before that transformation, he fired the Spiders from Mars and - using George Orwell and William S. Burroughs as inspiration, crafted his nightmarish apocalyptic opus <strong>Diamond Dogs</strong>. This week's guest, <strong>Oscar Hererra</strong> (The Sleep of Reason, Black Tape For A Blue Girl), leads us on a journey through this raw, challenging and ambitious album.<br /> <em>"This ain't Rock'n'Roll, This is Genocide!"</em></p> <p>Songs featured in this episode: <em>All the Young Girls Love Alice</em> - Elton John; <em>1984</em> - David Bowie; <em>Excerpt from The Wild Boys</em> - William S.
