Bowiesongs Extras
Music Diary Project, 4/4/11.

This is the week of Nick Southall’s music diary project, so I will try to keep an accurate journal of what i’ve listened to.


Music during morning drive, 7:30 AM-8:00 AM:

one of the 1977 “year” mixes i’ve made as part of my endless research for the Bowie blog. This was a stretch of “hollywood” songs segued together, some fine, some quite awful (see, Meco):

Rico, “Ska Wars.”

Meco, “Star Wars/Cantina Band.”

John Williams, “The Storm Troopers”

Weather Report, “Teen Town.”

Marvin Hamlisch, “Bond ‘77”

Carly Simon, “Nobody Does It Better.”

Bill Evans, “Suicide Is Painless (theme from MASH)”

Billy Joel, “Vienna.”

Harry Nilsson, “All I Think About Is You.”

Then multiple listens to “Neighborhood Threat,” both Iggy and DB.
