As a peace offering, I’d like to offer a “Six Degrees of Separation” between the two?

I just picked that one up a few weeks ago. The pressing is quite nice for a reasonable price.

I grabbed this used copy when I was in Vancouver to see Isbell a few months back, but this is the first time I've spun it. Sounds great. The sleeve has definitely lived a life, but the price was nice because of that!

I'm home from vaca and haven't spun in a week. I think I'll try and catch up!

Day 19
Quicksand from Hunky Dory has more ideas crammed into the song than a first year university intro to philosophy course.

Day 20
June 20 1969, David records the song Space Oddity. It only reached #5 in the UK charts in 1969, but went to #1 in the UK when re-released in 1975.
Play a song or album that got a “2nd life”

I didn't scroll back to see everyone's posts, so sorry if I repeat anything.

Not that The Weight was ever unpopular, or gone from radio play, but when this song-around-the-world video came around it really moved a lot of people.

Sault "11" (2023 Forever Living Originals)
Time to play a little of the backlog. This one sort of fits @jamieanderson1968 's words for this prompt. Bear with me. X is the roman numeral for 10. This album goes to "11" man! It's my favorite Sault record so far, topping "5". The bassline in the opening track is killer.
