Had this on earlier while I was doing some boring paperwork:
I love her music!

This is an old song that I heard when I was back in Newfoundland earlier this month. It was played in the background of a news feature about this year's Regatta (the Royal St. John's Regatta, which has been going since the 19th-C. The "9:13" of the title refers to a longstanding record time that wasn't broken until the 1980s.) They didn't give the name of the artist so I've had a hard time tracking it down but I finally managed to find the version I was looking for, the one I heard on the tv report. I'm not sure how it will sound to anyone who hasn't grown up hearing this kind of music but I really like it.

It conjures up a simpler life to me, I appreciate you sharing this and glad you were able to track it down!

I am a really big David Bowie fan and I have a quite a few of his CDs. Earlier this year, I decided to get the CDs from the library for some of his albums that I don’t own or don’t know very well. So I was driving around and listening to Diamond Dogs for several weeks nonstop in the spring. I never got bored with it. I took it back when I thought I’d had it long enough.
Now I’m listening to Low. Back about 1990, I had a roommate who was a big David Bowie fan also, and he listened to Low a lot. I liked it back then. It’s nice to listen to it again all these years later.

But I have picked up a few of his cds from the mid-90s and onwards and plan to give them a try one of these days.

Anyone check on the Linkin Park show with the new singer. It was really good... you could really tell Mike Shinoda was SO happy to be out there again. I know Emily Armstrong has some issues, but I excited to see how the new album turns out.

As a matter of fact, I had it on cassette. And I used to listen to it over and over again! By the time I started buying more David Bowie, it was all CDs. And I never replaced my Scary Monsters cassette. I had listened to it so much that I didn’t really want to get it on cd right away. And I never did buy another one on cd. That’s another one I should get from the library and play it over and over again in the car for a while.

I never bought Scary Monsters until probably around 10 years afterwards and on cd. I still don't know it really well, the way I do most of his albums up to then, but I always include it in his "classic" era, or whatever you want to call it, as I think it belongs there musically. Young Americans and the two early self-titled albums are the other ones I've listened to only casually from that period up to Scary Monsters. I think he has one of the strongest catalogues in pop music over that span of time.
I don't hate everything I've heard from him since then but it felt more like an isolated good song now and then (e.g. Absolute Beginners, Modern Love) in the middle of a lot of inoffensive but excessively bland material (e.g. Let's Dance, China Girl). But apparently he made an attempt from around the mid-90s to get back to more interesting work so I'm looking forward to giving some of those cds a listen.

My mom had both 1990 AD and Deep Forest. Loved and listened both those albums to death throughout my life. Just so peaceful and blissful sounding

Indirectly inspired by Supercat's Music Thread question about knowing the song order of an act from best of compilations rather than the original albums they came from, I've dug out my Squeeze cds and have been listening to Cool for Cats. The title song in particular has wormed its way into my ears the last few days. I've even started watching The Sweeney because one verse makes reference to it in a cool and funny way.

Squeeze is such a cool band! I didn't know anything about them until the video/single for "Hourglass" came out in 1987 which I loved, and then of course learning they had been around for a long time and had tons of albums.

I liked them on the radio from the time of "Another Nail in My Heart" but for a long time had no albums of theirs and then for a few years only the best of cd. Now I have Cool for Cats, Argy Bargy, and East Side Story, which I think contain most of my favourites apart from one or two on Sweets from a Stranger, which I should also look for. I'm a bit puzzled as to why I didn't have at least one of their records as I remember liking them a lot - way more than some bands whose records I did buy around the same time. For example, I bought a Madness album on the basis of Our House and I like it, but not nearly as much as I liked the Sweet Squeeze singles I had heard around then (or Sweet as well, for that matter, but they were from a different time). Just one of those weird things.
