Downloaded a bunch of David Bowie. I'm sort of tuning my family out with my headphones on. Man...memories are flooding back.
David Bowie - Scary Monsters
His last good album.
His last good album.
Many Bowie songs keep running through my head.

Interesting choice Steve. Nothing since then that you have liked?

An amazing song... An amazing songwriter. Sadly taken far too soon.

I miss his music as well as Harry Chapin. Both taken too soon, but what a band they'll have in heaven.

Two amazing story tellers. I was just a wee lad when they were in their prime, but I clearly remember hearing the songs and stories live as my folks were huge fans.
I still listen to Harry's Bottom Line sessions and a Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen live show frequently.

I've heard several songs from both but they didn't do much for me. I wouldn't consider myself a big Bowie fan fwiw even though I have most of his albums from the 70's (somehow I lost Young Americans). I don't consider any of his albums to be great, rather a mix of great and so-so songs. Low and Aladdin Sane are probably my favourites.
A Tribe Called Quest in the office today.

I have this on again today. I was very pleased to learn they will be performing this at Lyric opera this Fall. I've waited for this one for a long time.

Are you a fan of Berlioz in general?

Mmmm. I'm a fan enough that I really like the few things of his that I have, but not enough that they have caused me to explore a lot of stuff I don't know. So, the Symphonie Fantastique, the Damnation of Faust, the songs are all things I really like.
You?

I'm listening to Jakob Dylan's "Women + Country." One of the best albums in recent memory, IMHO.
Toots & the Maytals - True Love
- Mahler 9

Love Mahler. I actually prefer his 6th and then 5th more that his 9th. Perhaps I'll refresh myself with the 9th.

The 6th is my favorite also even though I basically agree with this assessment of it:
"Whereas all the other symphonies either end in triumph (1, 2, 5, 7 and 8), tranquillity (3, 4) or resigned acceptance (Das Lied, 9 and 10) the sixth is almost unremittingly bleak. "Life's a bitch and then you die" just about sums up this work."

I don't know. There's just something about that 4th Movement in Mahler 9 that just gets me every time I hear it.
Definitely need to revisit the others though.
The Stooges Raw Power.
Bon Iver
The always cool, Alvin Lucier.
Jon Cleary - GoGo Juice
Just discovered him via SiriusXM.

I haven't said this in about 29 years. Been listening to the new Def Leppard album and really like it!

Violent Femmes
Arctic Monkeys - AM
Eva Cassidy
Dmitry Shostakovich - Symphony No. 11 "The Year 1905". Going to see this performed next week, so just trying to familiarize myself with it. Incredibly moving piece that allows a glimpse of the rage and tragedy during the 1905 Revolution in Russia. This is a stark contrast to the companion piece being played - Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring.
Otis Spann
Burning Spear
