Day 4
Crystal Japan - this instrumental track was originally used in a Japanese commercial in 1980
Play a song used in a commercial

Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica

"Gravity Rides Everything" was used in a minivan commercial, which is weird for a song with lines like "flesh it sags" and "spilt milk, sex and weight..." or maybe that makes it perfect for a minivan commercial, come to think about it...

Bowie or Jones - David never changed his last name, David Bowie was strictly a stage name.
Play something by a person who goes by a stage name or pseudonym

Panda Bear "Tomboy" - I have a sneaking suspicion that this guy is not using his real name...that or we should be less worried about AI taking over and be more concerned that Panda Bears can sing and make music!

Play a song used in a commercial

Grizzly Bear "Veckatimest" - the song Two Weeks, which incidentally is an answer record to the Barenaked Ladies "One Week" which kicked off the East Coast West Coast Hip Hop beef, was used in a commercial per Google so here we are!

Kittens don't lie

...but cats sure do. At least our five. Every damn day. They're an evil, mostly feral crew. You can take the cat out of the feral, but you can't take the feral out of the cat.

Band of Horses - Everything All The Time

This album has been in my regular rotation since it came out. I know they got a lot of flack for putting it in this Ford Edge commerical in 2008, but it's not like they ever became one of the insanely wealthy bands and I'm sure the money from this helped them keep making killer records.

Day 6
Brian Eno famously collaborated with David in the late 70s and again in the 90s.

I'll have to backtrack to yesterday's, but was spinning this and realized it fits. Masters of the collab here.

Damn. I thought I saw someone else post this prompt and I can't remember the day lately. That explains why I was surprised I was down two, haha.

Day 1
Arnold Corns - This “band” was created by David to try out some early Ziggy material in 1971 with designer Freddie Burretti as “vocalist” (David is actually singing), going so far as to release a single of Moonage Daydream b/w Lady Stardust.
Play something fake

Mike Jackson & The Soul Providers "The Revenge Of Mr Mopoji" (1996 Sam Leung Pictures)
Fake soundtrack for a fake movie by musicians that would become the members of The Dap-Kings. Released by Desco although there is no indications to this on the sleeve - even the "Sam Leung International Pictures" credit on the sleeve is fake.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced


This is another bargain bin score from my buddy, actually. I'm sure I'll upgrade it one day but for now, it plays pretty well, with just a very small sprinkling of snaps and crackles.

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Day 5 - Name Drop



Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III

On “A Milli” alone he name drops Dennis Rodman, Biggie, Jay Z, 2Pac, Andre 3000, Erykah Badu, and Gwen Stefani

I've always said, it's not really Christmas without the words of Santa Morrissey to really put you in a festive spirit.
