Episode 3 of my companion podcast to the book, Everyone's Gone to the Moon, has dropped. You can find it on your favorite podcast site, Buzzsprout, or on the official podcast website which also has additional reference videos. This episode takes a brief look at a few of the music genres that were present in July 1969. Bubble Gum music was still going strong thanks in part to a little help from a popular TV cartoon show, plus the world was introduced to two new forms of music - Punk Rock with the arrival of the band The Stooges led by Iggy Pop, and Glam Rock which was personified by David Bowie and the release of what would (eventually) become a #1. Episode note: The second time Bowie's Space Oddity was released, it reached #15 in the U.S., not #5 as heard in the episode.
