What's Spinning

Continuing with Bowie ( @Joe Mac i don’t think I get past Hunky Dory tonight). I don’t have this one on vinyl yet and like Station to Station, i think it is slept on:

this is the ryko reissue and this is the first time I’ve listened to it on a system that was even worth talking about and it’s blowing my damn mind. Will need to rectify the vinyl issue!

I’ll be honest it’s one I slept on for a long time too, I never owned it until I got the five years box set! It’s probably my least favourite of his early output, although that’s not to say it’s bad and the title track is very good! Station to Station on the other hand is an absolute masterpiece, one of my very favourite Bowie albums!

This was the first classic Bowie album I ever owned. I think the title track is best song. It is the point where I think Bowie becomes Bowie and the great run starts here.

As a kid I had Let’s Dance and Never Let me Down on cassette. I had White Tie, Black Noise and Tin Machine on cassette in college. Seeing him on the Outside tour was what made me become obsessed.

i never owned any Bowie beyond a career spanning best of until my mid 20s for a very similar reason to why I was the same with The Beatles. That is that my Dad loves Bowie too and so his music was kind of always on and around throughout my childhood, although not to the same extent as the fabs. I have definite memories of Hunky Dory, Ziggy and the big singles from being a kid and of being lent the likes of Low, Heroes and Station to Station when I was a teenager and really starting to get into music.

This was a gift from a friend a couple years ago, and the only Pogues album I'm really familiar with at all, but I'm looking forward to checking out some others. Recommendation for the next?

The one that follows it “If I Should Fall From Grace With God” is the other one of a similar quality and it has Fairytale of New York on it. Their debut “Red Roses For Me” is worth a check out too.

I was going to say the same but also the excellent EP, Poguetry in Motion, which I still need to get a copy of!
