Day 18
Prettiest Star - Marc Bolan played guitar on the earliest version of this Bowie song in 1970.
Play a song with a “guest” on

Going with the CD because this isn't on vinyl. The song Perfect Day has Elton John as a guest.

Whoa, is that really the band on that cover? They look kinda different from when they played Woodstock ‘94

Looks like their label tried to re-launch them as N-Sync 2.0

Yeah, this came out in 2000 and the label pushed them in a strange direction. It's a very weak album, but has two semi-good tracks on it. One of the worst in their catalog though.

Day 19
Quicksand from Hunky Dory has more ideas crammed into the song than a first year university intro to philosophy course.
Play something deep
Janaka Stucky - Ascend Ascend
@avecigrec did you get yours yet? I'm really liking it but also it's a gorgeous package imo.

The name done with a Dymo Emboss label adds to this record immensely

Jarvis Cocker "Further Complications" (2009 Rough Trade; 2020 reissue)
Jarvis sings "I Never Said I Was Deep"... to me one of the deepest philosophical thoughts is the self-awareness of one's limits, especially to one's knowledge. This is not something that everybody comprehends... one of my favorite quotes (I don't know where this comes from) is "Half of the population is smarter than the average and the other half think they are".
I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow
My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow
I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever
And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be waiting forever
Forever and ever

Not yet, but I did get dinged by DHL for taxes and a service fee that was over three times the taxes collected!
(I actually thought that DHL charges were for my RC Succession record, but this makes more sense)

Day 20
June 20 1969, David records the song Space Oddity. It only reached #5 in the UK charts in 1969, but went to #1 in the UK when re-released in 1975.
Play a song or album that got a “2nd life”
Leggat – Illuminations
This mostly forgotten Canadian prog/hard rock outfit only released one album back in 1982 (though its members had been involved in the Canadian rock scene since the sixties.) Lead track "White Flags" received a second life three years later when Blue Öyster Cult covered it to kick off their (much maligned, but frankly quite awesome) album Club Ninja.
I only learned last fall that "White Flags" was originally by these guys and immediately set out to get myself a copy of this album, which I was able to quite cheaply - my initial copy had a very water-warped cover, but the vinyl had remained unscathed. However, I found this promo copy, still sealed, when my wife and I went to Vancouver to see Jason Isbell so I scooped it up and passed the other one along to a co-worker.

I always thought UPS was the absolute worst, but DHL sure gives 'em a run for the money!

All that said, it does indeed look gorgeous!
Not surprised mine hasn't arrived yet. Imagine if it's not here by the end of this week it'll be here early next.

Took a bit for me to get to it, but I finally streamed this in the car earlier today - it's awesome!

David Bowie - "Heroes" (song) And quite a 2nd life it has had. From peaking at #24 in the UK single charts and not even charting in the US, to being one of the most recognizable songs of the last 45 years.

You know Stranger Things is a pretty big deal when my kids’ classmates start saying that Kate Bush is their favorite musician

Day 16
June 16, 1962 - David Jones’ first live performance, playing saxophone with the Konrads
Play a “first”
I follow the first concert trend. Although, I truly can't remember if this or SRV was my first. Pretty sure this was Feb of 85...I know I have the stub somewhere.
