It’s a sad week for us here at S&V. Naturally, as a podcast named after a David Bowie Song, we were getting ready to record a review of his new album, Blackstar, when we got the news of his death. In place of a proper review, this episode is half exploration of Bowie’s swan song (released just two days before his death) and half reflection on his legacy.
