Who Almost Replaced Bowie as The Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986)? w/ Keanan Duffty (Slinky Vagabond)

Soundtrack Your Life

A man of many talents, Keanan Duffty is our guest for this episode. His band, Slinky Vagabond, has a new album coming out on January 14th. You can pre-order that here. He is also a fashion designer, one who has collaborated with the iconic David Bowie on his 2008 fashion line for Target. Since Keanan is a Bowie fan and collaborator, Ryan and Nicole thought it would be only fitting to talk to him about Jim Henson's 1986 film, Labyrinth. Bowie not only starred in the film as The Goblin King, Jareth, but he also wrote songs for the film.
