Ep68: Bowie Vs. Dylan, or the Best Archival Releases of their ENTIRE CAREERS
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
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-produced cardboard sleeve and meant to be housed in 6 different boxes of varying sizes, which are sold separately and (checks online) just sold out. The shipments of each disc and box will be extremely late and each piece will incur an extra shipping charge.
In return, you there will send us 175 buckaroos, on this edition of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Chaz' Special Secret Diary: August 23rd, 2021: Dear diary, I just want to tell you how special of an ep of BvD we just recorded today! I was so funny and insightful about Bowie's albums list, and Jake also happened to be there.
Chaz' Special Secret Diary: September 15th, 2021: Dear diary, remember that sweet sweet ep of BvD I told you I recorded a few weeks ago, the one where I'll be considered for the Pulitzer? And Jake was there but just stared at me and drooled the whole time? Well...it's not been published yet. Guess I'll have to talk with the boys in the IT department!
Chaz' Special Secret Diary: November 1st, 2021: Dear diary, I've become perturbed, because the legendary lost episode of BvD from August still hasn't surfaced, and I hate to rag on the guy, but Jake has REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE. He's the one who's responsible for putting them up and he JUST HASN'T, and here it is nearly Webbys season.
Chaz' Special Diary: December 6th, 2021: It's so cold, diary. I fear this will be my last entry. I can't tell where I am or what's around me. I keep calling out for help, but no one answers. There will be no Bowie vs Dylan podcast episode #66. I am utterly alone.
Goodbye, cruel world, on this very special albums ranking countdown episode of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Here's one or more sentences to describe this shockingly (long) final regular-run episode of the shockingly (all figures relative to actual popular) popular podcast, Bowie vs. Dylan:
It's the last one.
Jake: Are you cryin', Chaz, because I'm not cryin'.
Chaz: I'm not cryin' either, Jake.
Jake: I'm DEFINITELY not not cryin'.
Chaz: Wait, does that mean you ARE cryin'? Your double negative is confusing, as are all your double negatives, and frankly, all of your words altogether.
Jake: I'll let you be the judge, but just know that I had to get a new beer that I'm not not cryin' in, and buy a new keyboard that I didn't not ruin because I was not not cryin' on it, and Lord I hope it comes via not Amazon in time for me to finish this one-or-more-sentences blurb about this not not last episode of Bowie vs. Dylan.
Chaz: (not not cryin')
Jake: (not not cryin')
Internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pVT_mvvZLo
Chaz: I'm Charlie, and I like Bowie, as well as superty-duper long episodes of the podcast I co-host that are so drawn out that they go against every fiber of my being!
Jake: And I'm Jake, and I love Dylan, as well as wildly long and incoherent podcasts that are still half as long as every single average Academy Awards in existence!
Everybody: And that's that, on this not not not final BvD Awards episode of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Ep60 - Bowie vs. Dylan or The Best Deep Cuts of THEIR ENTIRE CAREERS
Tuesday Sep 01, 2020
Tuesday Sep 01, 2020
David Bowie: Say there, good chaps and chapettes! I have a simple, but deceptively profound question to ask of you:
Good Chaps and Chapettes: Lay it on us, Bowie.
David Bowie: Brilliant! So here goes-
Bob Dylan: Heeeeeeeey, Bob Dylan here, also with a question to ask of everyone.
Good Chaps and Chapettes: Hi Bob! Well, as long as it's an incredible coincidence and the question is the same as David's...we suppose, because we have a ton of stuff to do around the yard today and we're not made of time, you know.
David Bowie: Should we just say it together, Bob, on the count of 3?
Bob Dylan: Is that on 3, or just after 3?
David Bowie: ON 3, man.
Bob Dylan: Stop yelling at me.
David Bowie and Bob Dylan: 1...2...HOW DEEP ARE THE CUTS?
Chaps and Chapettes: Our open wounds or musical tracks?
David Bowie: Most of my musical tracks ARE open wounds, metaphorically, well, anyway, we mean music.
Bob Dylan: a. DEEEP cuts?
David Bowie: b. DEEEEP cuts?
Bob Dylan: c. DEEEEEP cuts?
David Bowie: Or d. DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP CUUUUUUTS?
Chaps and Chapettes: No all of the above option? We feel it should be all of the above, on this very special 60th podcast extravaganza edition of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Ep50: Bowie vs. Dylan, or The Top Ten Best Covers OF THEIR ENTIRE CAREERS
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020
It's that very special time of life again, dear listeners! A round-number anniversary. 50 episodes, can that be right? Counting down our personal and professional opinions on the very best covers that any artist ever did of Bowie and Dylan songs?
Boy, it seems like it's been, what? 9, 10, episodes since we here at Bowie vs. Dylan last celebrated a milestone? I mean, besides all the comings and goings of David Bowie and Bob Dylan in any given year, that is, that's always a reason for excitement. Gosh...looking at the old calendar, it seems that we don't have many left before we run out of them, huh?
REALLY makes it hit home when we say it like that, though, doesn't it? Geez, now it's getting a little misty in here, must be our allergies, or all that quarantine dust in the air, it's thick, boy, now we’re really sobbing, so many non-emotionally-related eye irritants, it's getting hard for us to type, yep, we better take a break.
We're back, baby! And don't we feel better; a little time away from some potentially painful feelings never hurt anyone. That and a bottle of red wine, amiright? Or two, one for each of us, and then another couple each for David and Robert, and Chaz, he told me to go ahead and have his, we can't share it anyway on account of COVID-19, wats that, loosen up a little, gol. Heeeeey, we here at Dowie vs. Bylan really loooove you listeners, you’re our flavorite listeneers, we meen it this time!!
We're not crying, YOU’RE crying on this 50th Anniversary Super-Deluxe Edition of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Ep40: Bowie vs. Dylan or the TOP TEN ERAS OF THEIR ENTIRE CAREERS
Friday Nov 01, 2019
Friday Nov 01, 2019
We here at Bowie vs. Dylan want to present to you a VERY special episode wherein Chaz and Jake rank the Top Ten Era/Phases/Whims/Career Choices of David Bowie's and Bob Dylan's career, and you're welcome to listen to it, because it's a TOP TEN LIST, and we believe it to be of similar quality to all the other podcasts that came before.
But we must warn you, the podcast is turning 40 today, and even though over the last two centuries the life expectancy of podcasts has literally doubled, and there is ample revolutionary medicine and surgeries available that podcasts of the past could not have even imagined, and 40 is the new 27.5, statistically, and at least as far as podcasts are concerned, I mean, have you seen that Bowie vs. Dylan lately? What a listener.
Anyway, but since the podcast is turning 40 today, we have to warn you that it's OVER THE HILL. And that suddenly there's too many candles and not enough birthday cake. And that it knows that it's 40 because the only weight-lifting it does is from standing up. And that it's twice as sexy as two 20-year olds. And that it's NOT 40, but actually 39.95 plus shipping and handling. And that it will enjoy it's first colonoscopy. And that it's not 40, but actually 18 with 22 years of experience.
40!!! It's all downhill from here!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, these jokes never get old like a 40-year old, on this episode of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Ep30: Bowie vs. Dylan, or The Top 10 Rivalries of THEIR ENTIRE CAREERS
Saturday Jun 01, 2019
Saturday Jun 01, 2019
Dear Listeners-
We here at Bowie vs. Dylan know that it's generally uncouth to share such an emotional outpouring, especially since we haven't had anything to drink this morning (yet), but hey, what the heck? The internet is such a rotten place sometimes, and we'd like to change that in whatever small way that we can actually control, so here goes:
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.
So much so, in fact, that we'd like to ask your forgiveness in advance for the 1 hour and 45 minutes that you're about to be subjected to of pure podcast petulance. Because although David Bowie and Bob Dylan were and are generally congenial fellows with many friends, acquaintances, and collaborators (see Episode 10 of this podcast), they also each had their share of frenemies, enemies, and rivalries, all of which are covered in exhaustive and exhausting detail, by real-life brothers (and #1 For Realz Rivalz For Life) Chaz and Jake. Warning: It's a petty, salacious, violent, uncaring, contentious, and downright mean episode, just like Chaz and Jake's realz-life relationship, on this episode of Bowie vs. Dylan.

Ep20: Bowie vs. Dylan, or The Top Ten Covers of their ENTIRE CAREERS
Tuesday Jan 01, 2019
Tuesday Jan 01, 2019
David Bowie and Bob Dylan duke it out via the preferences and tastes of Chaz and Jake as the artists' "best" "covers" are counted down 10 to 1 in the second battle royale of the life of this podcast. Let's just say there are some discrepancies, derelictions, depravities, demonizations, despots, dilettantes, Davids, Dylans, and Count Smokulas. Can the boys actually make it to the end? Can you? Will they succumb to mid-pod rule changes and arguments, or soldier on to give the audience what they want and frankly expect, which is the final and decisive objectification of a purely subjective realm. Celebrate! For Bowie vs. Dylan turns 20 today, lo, the first day of 2019! Episodes. Bowie vs. Dylan turns 20 episodes, not years. Just want to make that clear. You should still celebrate, though, for sure. Go crazy.

EP10: Top 10 Collaborators, or How Many Beatles vs. How Many Micks?
Wednesday Aug 01, 2018
Wednesday Aug 01, 2018
Charlie collaborates with Jake, and Jake collaborates with Charlie to share the various luminary celebrity and/or musician collaborators that Bowie collaborated with AND the ones that Dylan collaborated with on this very special collaboratory "Collaborations" 10th episode of Bowie vs. Dylan. Unusually, no points are assessed, but just as unusually, much is revealed, such as the names and backstories of said collaborators in an alternating, list-style format that would have surely built anticipation for the #1 spot, if the brothers hadn't over-shared the bottom half of the list and rushed through the top half. Guess who raps! Guess who launched the career of every single important rock artist of the 20th century besides Bob Dylan! Guess who smooched who, and wonder what a "plumcrusher" is! Tune in for all of this and way, way more on Bowie vs. Dylan's longest podcast ever.
In honor of an extra long podcast, take in an extra long Spotify playlist when you're all done, available at bit.ly/BvD-EP10.

EP01: Introduction
Thursday Mar 15, 2018
Thursday Mar 15, 2018
In the inaugural episode of BOWIE VS DYLAN, real-life brothers (and 33% nemeses) Charlie and Jake attempt to introduce and explain their podcast. They also bore each other to tears trying to briefly detail their history and love of their respective favorite musical artists. Charlie likes Bowie; Jake looooves Dylan. Who will history deem the greatest of them all? Between only two choices, using a convulated and constantly-changing points system, and based purely on the opinion of grossly amatuer enthusiasts?
And speaking of enthusiasts, we made you a sweet playlist on Spotify to go with this episode! Check it out at bit.ly/BvD-EP01.
