Sitting In a Tin Can

For a teenager, staying up late is somewhat of a talent. And for me, no less, it lets me get lots of things done. What they are I can't repeat in polite company, but this one can be played loudly and proudly.

While reorganizing my main blog, I had the television on in the background. As I got up to get a drink, this clip for a DVD came on. And in the clip, there was David Bowie, clad in a stripped jumpsuit, singing his face out. This guy is as cool as a cucumber. Seriously. Sixty-five and still cool. By golly yes sir.

And just to note, this post contains three (3) videos because one video does not do this song justice.

From his second studio album David Bowie (the second to be named that), released in 1969, here is "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. 
Ground Control to Major Tom/ You've really made the grade/ Now the papers want to know whose shirts you wear/ Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

Na-Na-Na

I pride myself on my taste of music. It's very peculiar. It's got some of this, a bit of that, and a little of this. But one thing that I love to hear are alternative rock bands. It's not the lyrics in particular (I never hear 'em anyways), but the melody and the beat some of them have is something that can knock you into a shake.

And I just found out that I posted this back in December as part of a three-for-one (it's #2), but I decided to bring you a replacement from the same band.

I'm proud to present "Never Saw It Coming" from the Sensation Junkies from their
2004 album Once for the Money.
And then you disappeared on me/ in the middle of the night/
Guess you changed your mind/ I never saw it coming.

Note: It seems that this band has been out-of-service since 
2004, and the only mention the Sarathan website has of it is
to an online store. I guess it really was once for the money.
