They truly are, and 50 years later (or there about) it still sounds fantastic today. This music takes my mind to Hwy 101 I've just crossed over into Marin county, I'm northbound and I've got the top pulled down, the music is cookin' as I pass by her old haunts....

 

Hearing Janis "takes me there", and the Redwoods come into view....

Moonage Daydream by David Bowie.  It's been 3 years since we lost him.

[Josie Beth]

I still can’t believe he is gone. It seems like yesterday he was still producing and vibrant.

[Maid In Bedlam]

Strangly enough I was just about to type. " I never really liked David Bowie"  But after some consideration and thinking about how i know the opening bars to Gene Genie, life on Mars, up to Fashion and Scary Monsters.  Still recall when this Skinny little fella came on Top of the pops My dad Looking at him and saying "Is that a Man or a Woman" Therefore i decided to retract my comment and say. Yes such a shame he had so much more to give this world and the pleasure we still get from the back catalogue. The memorys that fill you when you hear one of those old tracks still does it for me.

 

 

My listening pleasure today will mostly be Night Club, The album being, Scary World

 

 

Do we still call them Albums?

 

 

 

[Josie Beth]

Yes they are still albums. Even if it’s digital media. I’ll always remember David for “The man who fell to earth”. Although weird and sometimes psychedelic, it was a study of how one can feel out of place in the world, even with success, and failing to find that fit can result in strange exploration, self destructive behavior, and ultimately realizing that what is missing is very simple. In that case it was the character realizing that going home to a dying world to be with their family was preferable to a meaningless life on earth. I’m still touched by the scenes of his family struggling without him and feeling lost on a desert world, and how powerless he felt so far away. 

 

As far as music goes he was a genius and still had it right to the end. As I grew up and revisited much of it I realized he was also a philosophical genius and I owe much of my introspection to his thoughts in various forms of art.

 

One of the reasons I grew to really like the Arcade Fire album “Reflektor” was due to his guidance as a coproducer. I liked them before but he helped them out refining the song “We exist” which is such an anthem for LGBTQ, it’s something I can truly identify with.

[jo jo]

[Cyndee]

The post above took me back to walking the streets of Manchester in 04', the pubs, the clubs, the stadium, the Salford Quays and all

 

I really like David Bowie's last studio album before he left us "Dark Star", an amazing production.

 

Right now I'm listening to "The Fixx" greatest hits album, gosh this sounds good...

I have never been to Manchester as I am predominantly an East Coast girl, but I do remember video's of the Hacienda night club from  a few years ago. It had ( and maybe still has) cult status here.

You’re welcome! I like the album version better. It’s got these lyrics at the end (I swear David Bowie sang the cameo) 

 

“Maybe if you hang together
You can make the changes in our hearts
And if you hang together, you can change us
Just where should you start?”

 

 This repeats in several songs throughout the album.

 

Ashlee, have fun at the wedding! I wish I could have been there. 

[Maid In Bedlam]

Today I will Be Mostly Listening to Blutengel. Black and the rest of the Album Leitbuild

Today is a Rebelution and The Movement kind of day for me. ❤️ My music. 

[Briana]

The news...  And not Huey Lewis and The News.  LOL  But yesterday I had some off site quiet time and the establishment I was had had on a 70's pop music play list and then a 90's hip hop play list.  It was honestly fun to listen too.  I enjoyed it so much I had a hard time finishing my work. 

[Cyndee]

I recall the experience, when grocery shopping back in like the late 80's and I realized they were playing Jimi Hendrix 3rd Stone from the sun in the store, and I realized then, the music of my youth was now store music, oh no, that only means one thing ?

 

Today I'm listening to Traffic, and the song "The Dealer"....
