Listening to these two David Bowie albums back-to-back for the first time. They're different mixes of the same LP. Kinda prefer the UK man in dress cover to the US cartoon but much prefer the new title (his original choice). I've heard the original mix and it's perhaps a little indistinct in places (although not as much as Exile In Main Street on a couple of tracks) so I'll see what the Tony Visconti 2010 mix brings to the table. Mick Ronson's Hendrixesque guitar playing is really great, especially on opener "The Width Of A Circle".



Next up is Hunky Dory which is my favourite of the Bowie albums I've already heard so far.

Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You

 

[Yard_Sale]

 

[Imbissbrunto]

I‘ve listened to this so many times and I still absolutely love it. Definitely one of my favorite modern hip hop songs!

 

[Chris30]

I'm listening to the Beatles, "Let It Be". What is your favorite Beatles tune?

When Muhammad Ali was trash talking his opponent Smokin' Joe Frazier prior to their March 8, 1971 title fight, among the litany of failures Ali called him out on was that his music was awful. Now you can decide for yourself after listening to Joe's October 1969 single "Knock Out Drop" / "Gonna Spend My Life".




Also listening to Deniece Williams's 1976 debut album This Is Niecy again. I'm not surprised she wanted to make more albums with co-producer Charles Stepney. Regrettably he suffered a second, fatal heart attack shortly after making this record and Earth, Wind & Fire's Spirit.

Journey - Somethin' To Hide.

 

[Mikey]

Air's debut EP Premieres Symptômes and album Moon Safari are a great relaxing listen so far. I bought the album around the time "Kelly Watch The Stars" was in the charts but never got around to listening to it until now.

Keith LeBlanc (as Malcolm X) - No Sell Out

New Order's 1989 and 1993 albums Technique and Republic©.

New Order's 1989 and 1993 albums Technique and Republic©.

Technique was excellent in terms of bangers-to-fillers ratio but my old boss is a massive New Order fan and has just advised me on Facebook to skip Republic and listen to their 2015 album Music Complete instead, specifically "Academic". I'm a sucker for punishment so will give the extended version Complete Music a go instead.

The Beatles- Eight Days A Week

 

[Chris30]

So much better in the slow version. I miss Michael Jackson and his powerful music!!

Throwback that popped-up...ahhhh the 90's...😁

Hoodoo Gurus - My Caravan

 

[Mikey]

Strawbs - 'Til The Sun Comes Shining Through. I only listened to this album 'cos it had Rick Wakeman on. He's not even on this track but it's the nicest on the album imo. Frontman Dave Cousins's solo cut Two Weeks In Summer is also worth a listen. Anyway, see what you think.

Cool, I've never heard of that song before...

Kevin Gilbert - Taxi Ride (Jane Siberry cover)


What a gorgeous tune. It's very Blue Nile. KG even sounds a bit like Buchanan when he gets up there. Closing in on 29 years since KG's death at age 29. Middle of next month, anyway.

I remember him from your Toy Matinee posts. The guy who co-wrote most of Sheryl Crow's first album before she ditched him. Would like to hear Nuts, Bolts and The Shaming Of The True but he's hard to find on streaming services.

I'm still in a classic rock phase and am giving Mott The Hoople's breakthrough album All The Young Dudes a metaphorical spin. Bowie gave it a great production job. Probably gonna check out some of Ian Hunter's solo work with Mick Ronson next.

Yeah, there are a few individual tracks from those three here and there but nothing consistent. Sort of lucked out finding that one on Dailymotion and it could disappear.

Thud and No Reasons Given show up in their entirety on Spotify under KG as artist, and Toy Matinee is on there as well under Toy Matinee.

This one's on both the Gentle Giant tribute and Shaming, inspired by a GG track I posted just recently and very much in the theme of the latter album, being about an up-and-coming artist sort of overwhelmed by the vampirism of the industry.

Kevin Gilbert - Suit Fugue
(language warning)


I still remember hearing about his death on the radio the following day. Toy Matinee had been and still is a firm anchor for my musical tastes.

One of my favorites. Mick Ralphs took "Ready For Love" from that with him to Bad Company. I still hesitate to call Bad Company's version a cover given that the songwriter was a member of the band.
