Damien Jurado - Exit 353

Discovered this a couple of days ago. Only heard part, on BBC Radio 6 Music. And then
ferreted it out. The album for the song not yet released.

David Bowie

The media overload has now quietened since the death of Bowie. I never really enjoyed his work, the singles put me off listening to the albums. Unsure why, though I was unimpressed with the personnas he adopted.  They either detracted from the music, or they seemed to try to compensate for average material.

Anyway, there were two major exceptions.

The Passenger, by Iggy Pop. Bowie played organ and sang backing vocals on it. They were both in Berlin at the time. Absolutely visceral version here......

And secondly, The Man who Sold The World. Others have covered this song, stronger than the original. Lulu for one. And here, Nirvana, with Kurt Cobain looking suitably eye-deadened.
