Bing Crosby and David Bowie – "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" (1977)
2010/12/15
This is an unlikely pairing of two great singers and was recorded not long before Bing Crosby's death in 1977. Bridging the generations, it is certainly a Christmas classic at this point.

Julian Casablancas – "11th Dimension" (2009)
2010/02/26
A few weeks ago someone (my neighbor friend, I think) had recommended Julian Casablancas to me. Julian is best known for being the lead singer of The Strokes. I am late to the party when it comes to listening to his solo project and album "Phrazes for the Young".
I must say I love "11th Dimension" but since I first heard it, there was something too familiar. The opening notes on the synthesizer sounded like a song I had heard before. Something 1970s or 1980s-ish. The closest I could come after much searching was Animotion's "Obsession" (1985):
I included G in the puzzle though and she delivered. The clear influence is David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" (1974):
Listen to the beginning of "11th Dimension" and then "Rebel Rebel" and you'll see what I am talking about! I still love the "11th Dimension" mind you!

David Bowie – "Let's Dance" (1983)
2009/07/04Woof! I spent a good chunk of today setting up my blip.fm account with ALL the songs I have posted thus far. Now you'll be able to just 'push play' at "http://blip.fm/tsotd" and listen to the songs I've posted. It is basically my online radio station because my posting a song or two a day I am essentially a DJ, in slow motion.
To celebrate completion, "Let's Dance"!!!
