Songs of David Bowie by Chris O'Leary on Tosh Talks

Songs of David Bowie by Chris O'Leary on Tosh Talks



Two books (volumes) by Chris O'Leary that covers every song David Bowie released, as well as obscure b-sides, and recordings not released.  Remarkable information which makes these books essential to the Bowie Library. Here I give my thoughts on both books as well as my Bowie obsession. -Tosh Berman.

Tosh Talks: Tosh Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World (an introduction)

Joe Meek on Tosh Talks

Joe Meek on Tosh Talks

Joe Meek is without a doubt one of the intriguing figures that came out of contemporary music. A gay man who lived in London when it was illegal to have gay sex or even hinting of having a relationship with another man, very much lived in his working space on Holloway Road in North London. He didn't leave his flat/recording studio that much, as he was, at the time, focused on making recordings that to this day is revolutionary and profound, in the sense that he was probably one of the first DIY personalities in the recording world. On this episode of "Tosh Talks," I focus on three albums by The Meek planet. Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages, Heinz, and the brilliant "I Hear a New World" (1960) billed as Joe Meek and the Blue Men. I also commented on Brian Eno's "Another Green World" and how that is the little sister or brother to Meek's "I Hear a New World." A friend commented that Meek is the bridge between Les Paul and Phil Spector, but to me, as he was a non-musician, he used the recording studio as an instrument, similar to what Eno did years later. A remarkable sonic artist in an extraordinary era.

Andy Warhol Screen Tests on Tosh Talks

Andy Warhol Screen Tests on Tosh Talks

Andy Warhol is too huge of a subject matter for one show. So, on "Tosh Talks" I focus on the Andy Warhol Screen Tests, as well as the film "Empire," which is his portrait of the Empire State Building. Warhol did a series of portraits of people he worked with at his Factory, as well as those who just stopped by like Dennis Hopper, Ann Buchanan, and Edie Sedgwick. "13 Most Beautiful..." is a superb DVD released by Plexifilm. "Andy Warhol Screen Tests" edited by Callie Angell is a must-have book for anyone who is interested in Andy Warhol as well as his cinema. This is one of my favorite episodes. - Tosh Berman.
