Love You ‘Til Tuesday (1969)
Posted on January 3, 2020 | No CommentsIn 1969, Kenneth Pitt was desperate to make his wayward, odd little artist David Bowie somehow profitable. David had been plodding away for years, chasing trends, cutting singles that went […] -
Federale – All the Colours of the Dark
Posted on January 12, 2017 | No CommentsA review in texts… And then I quit texting because of my beer: And whiskey: This is cowboy music for the Sphagetti cowboy. How does it compare to the earlier […] -

Posted on January 10, 2017 | No CommentsDesperate connections are a regular theme for David Bowie (most famously on “Heroes”, which this song precedes on the Lazarus soundtrack.) Much of his work could be summed up as […] -
Emerson, Lake, and remembering

Prince – Controversy (the first side)
Posted on May 7, 2016 | No CommentsIt wasn’t simply that Prince was a singular talent. He was different. It was the way he melded his God-talk, his lust, and his fondness for funk, pop, rock and […] -
Space Drones
Posted on April 17, 2016 | No CommentsBefore they composed the soundtracks to such varied films as Sorcerer, Thief, Risky Business, and Legend, Tangerine Dream were a bunch of long-haired machine heads from Germany, fiddling obsessively with towers of […] -
Aerosmith – Toys in the Attic / Rocks
Posted on April 10, 2016 | No CommentsThey don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Made when Boston’s best had something to prove, and long before Pro Tools and song doctors turned the band into laughingstocks (to me, that […]
