On The CD Player Today :-)

[May Kasahara]

This morning I've been listening to David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust.

Man, I will never get tired of this album. You know sometimes when you put some music on and it absolutely hits the spot? That's what I had this morning. It's been a while since I last played this, and what a joy it was to hear again - building from the opening wistfulness of Five Years to the filthy attitudinal strut of Moonage Daydream, pausing a moment to reflect on Lady Stardust before flinging itself into the joyful dance of Hang Onto Yourself, segueing into full-on rock bitch mode that can only lead to Rock'N'Roll Suicide...and just when you think it's all over in a wash of tears, recriminations and streaky mascara, that final, serene major chord.

David, I salute you and your bright red mullet

Ta for the link - unfortunately my receptionist has buggered off due to a family problem so I'm covering, and I don't think listening to Detroit techno full blast would 'do' Will have a listen later/tmrw to your disco compilation

If we're going to talk Detroit compilations, then we have to start and finish with DJ Assault.

 

[frogwoman]

wumpscut and suicide commando...am rather pissed cos me m8 said wumpscut were "shit" and "a cross between rammstein and bob dylan"

 

[The_Reverend_M]

What's your opinion on it?

Only about my third listen ... I'm liking quite a bit actually, making me realise that 'lullabies...' wasn't really up to their standards. Could well end up being my second favourite after 'Rated R' - the problem with 'Songs For The Deaf' is those bloody annoying radio interludes - they add nothing and only serve to jar you out of your listening experience

 

[LDR]

Spice - Spice Girls

I brought it on a whim off eBay for a £1.

It's surprisingly good. I expected the non-singles to be just crap filler but I think they stand up as pretty good pop songs in their own right. It's aged remarkably well too.

Not bad for a £1.
