The Afterword Podcast


This is GLK London calling the world...an audio companion to theafterword.co.uk

The sound of the waifs and strays of the Word magazine blog (RIP), musing along the byways of popular culture. We blather, you listen — that’s the deal.

We crawl out of the oxygen tent, tens of millions of peoploids trying tomake sense of the future that David Bowie was always outlining to us.

DrJ, Steven C, SimonGMusic, John Connolly and DFB use this podcast as a cathartic exercise in remembering a musical hero and trying to figure out why, nearly a week on at time of recording, we still are shellshocked and scrabbling around in the dust.

- the living art project 'David Bowie' by Mr David Jones from Brixton

- the ever circling 'David Bowie Is' exhibition
- the 'J' word
- We try and review 'Blackstar' both aurally and visually
- but mostly we just try and celebrate the magnificent bastard

There is no discussion of grief police and the nonsense of social media etc as that can all just be forgotten and his music and spirit will live on. This may not really add anything to the mound of Bowie analysis over the past 2 weeks but it was good for us.
