Jeff Lynne fans take note: he produced and co-wrote this song for his hero, and I think it's the best ballad of Lynne's career.

I was going to click it, but then I saw it's ten minutes long. I'll listen to it during the day tomorrow. TBH, I haven't cared for much of what he's done over the past 35 years since "Scary Monsters".

Sorry, EDE. I'm not feeling it. I gave up on it after one minute.

Thanks EDE. I hadn't heard that one. Trying too hard to start. A little bit drum and bass (oddly the last Bowie one I remember had this in it too), a little electro and a little radiohead.

The vocals hold it together, both because of Bowie's confident ability and because the space that he creates allows various influences to have some moments without feeling shoe horned in there out of desperation. There's some jazz later on for example. But it doesn't feel cluttered. Having nearly ten minutes also helps no doubt.

There's an astronaut in the video, and I suppose 'cause it's Bowie the obvious conclusion is that it's Major Tom.

I'm not jumping up and down over it. It's okay and I'd be interested to hear more from the album. That's mainly due to his voice more than anything.

I definitely heard the Radiohead comparison upon first listen, along with the Scott Walker-influence that everyone seems to be making a big deal about. There's also an element of continuing on from some bits of the Berlin trilogy filtered through the more modern influences.

I'm digging it more with each listen. It's nice to see him trying to do something interesting when a lot of his peers are pretty much content on just repeating the same old thing.

Lots of back voice acting cd's, mostly based on Robert Crais books. Enjoying the stories, but the very bad line readings in some spots as well as the bad "men doing a woman's voice", especially the southern accent, are a bit offputting.

Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to the awesome early 80s crime movie "Thief".

This guy does a lot of cool remixes over familiar beats and they're tons of fun.

Sergio Leone's Dollar Trilogy has perhaps the best score to a film series ever made. Ever single track is amazing. Plus, it makes great studying music! nod

Agreed, Kid. Great music, great movies.

As for me, here's a song that takes me back to bittersweet times:

That song takes me back too, Fanfie. It used always play on the radio when my mom would drive my sister and I to school to school in the late 90's. smile

A bittersweet song for me:



I remember listening to this song for the first time at the end of my senior year of high school when I first used to drive. My commutes to an internship I was doing often had me drive down a long backroad that seemed to stretch for an eternity so to break the monotony I would pop this album on and just watch the scenery pass by. It's one of those songs that just makes you forget all your worries about what the future holds and it still takes me back to a simpler time in my life.

Don't ask how I can go from insulting a singer in the MMB to listening to his entire debut album. I've long had something of a love-hate thing with Tom Petty, but after hearing his first album for the first time, instead of just the hits from it, all I can say is that it's pretty damn good!

Okay, so I listened to the next three Petty albums on YouTube. The second one is almost as good as the first, but the third reminded me why I'm so ambivalent about him: in-your-face overproduction, hammy vocals, everything multi-tracked to headache-inducing proportions. The fourth was marginally less oppressive, and it had one of the few Petty songs that I make no apologies for liking:

From the excellent season finale of the Leftovers. Kevin Garvey, literally singing for his life. Can't stop watching it, it was such a great scene:
