About Us
Care to "drop us a line" as the kids probably once said? Or get more information so you can send us some free Bowie or Dylan swag? Email us at bowievsdylan (at) gmail.com. We would like that.
The Hosts:
You may have noticed that there are two hosts. They are brothers. Here's some insightful, relevent information about each of them!
Charlie
Charlie likes Bowie. He's a media director (think librarian but with a lot more technology) at a middle school in Minnesota. He's married to a grand lady named Claudia and has three sons. They all prefer Bowie to Dylan. Charlie is the smart one and the cute one.
Jake
Jake looooooves Dylan. He's a music therapist in Washington (state, that is). He's married to a fine, fine woman named Brooke. He has one son and two daughters. None of them are named Bob OR Dylan. Jake is the funny one and the one who has a beard.
Fun Facts:
- The music medium of choice for both brothers is the lowly CD, even though it's cripplingly uncool.
- Charlie's second favorite musician named David is David Byrne.
- Jake wants the words "Alt-Country 4 EVA" tattooed across his back, but he can't find a tattooist willing to do it for free.
- Jake has a larger music collection than Charlie but Charlie's is better (so he insists).
- Charlie likes krautrock (among many other musical styles). Jake has made a snide comment about krautrock every single time Charlie has ever uttered the word (and several times he hasn't).
- There is a third brother named Mike who (to our knowledge) does not run a music podcast that is borderline obsessive over an important rock musician. We're not sure he knows what a podcast is.
- If Mike DID have a music podcast, he would prefer to borderline obsess over Neil Young.
- One of Mike's children is named David, but we're pretty sure he wasn't named after Bowie. It's impossible to know for sure.
- Jake independently released a few albums when he was younger. They're good. Charlie did the artwork for one of them.
- Jake's not super sure what "post-rock" is. Charlie isn't either, but he kind of likes it.
- Charlie owns two Bob Dylan albums.
- Jake owns one David Bowie album and a best-of comp.
- Charlie knows how to make websites. Jake doesn't, but let's face it, he probably could if he had the time.
- Jake knows how to record podcasts. Charlie doesn't, but let's face it, he probably could if he had the time.
