My second favourite album by The Burning Hell! They very recently did a limited repress, which is great because I wasn't buying vinyl the first time around. This one includes "Men Without Hats" which is "a story about how Mathias fell in love with music via the album Pop Goes The World by the Canadian new wave band Men Without Hats."

 
Day 6
Brian Eno famously collaborated with David in the late 70s and again in the 90s.
Play a collaboration

Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1, is a collaboration between U2 and Brian Eno as a side project. Eno was a co-writer, so they used the name Passengers to differentiate it from U2's albums.

Play a song used in a commercial

Janis Joplin "Pearl" (1971 CBS; 2016 2x45 MOFI reissue)
Mercedes Benz was used in a commercial, although not without controversy due to the anti-consumerist message of the song.

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

Nirvana - In Utero
