So many songs. I love Bowie. Cried when he died and felt very sad for a long long time - his music was a key part of my youth. So talented and very smart.

I was actually thinking of him the other day, talking to a colleague about how long it took people to understand the potential of the internet. Does anyone remember that interview with Jeremy Paxman - this one?

BringBackDoves · 12/08/2021 21:20

Golden Years
Life on Mars
The Man Who Sold The World
Modern Love
Let’s Dance

Also the Soulwax mix of loads of Bowie tunes is EPIC. It’s called Dave.
