‘Let me be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust.
Let me be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust.’

My Vibrations will live on
In vibes on vinyl through the years
People will dance to my waves”

You’ll hear a lot about today being “Blue Monday”
In case people fall for it, a reminder that Blue Monday was invented by a UK travel company, Sky Travel, in 2005 as a PR stunt to sell holidays.

This is the only Blue Monday you need.

Happy Birthday to Low. Album released this day in 1977 by David Bowie. His 11th. The first of the fabled “Berlin Trilogy”.
Grounded in Art Rock, it features Bowie’s first explorations in electronic and ambient styles. An album of the past that still sounds like the future .

“The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.”

For me growing up, he was always there.
For me growing older, he’s still here.

WARNING:
Horrific , stomach churning ,scenes in Stranger Things 5. I’m amazed how scenes disturbing as this are even allowed on TV these days.
The dialogue is creepy too , at one point a character says “I hate The Clash”.
I’m going to cheer myself up and watch The Exorcist.

Happy 91st Birthday Elvis and 79th Birthday David Bowie.
If the stories are true and it had came to fruition we would have had a Bowie produced Elvis album.
Jumpsuits forever lads.

My first time seeing R.E.M live on the “Reckoning “ tour in 1984 at Newcastle Tiffany’s.
If memory serves, they did fabulous covers of “Pale Blue Eyes” and “Moon River”, and also bought a very long haired Michael Stipe a pint at the bar.

Happy Birthday Michael Stipe.

Happy 70th Birthday Bernard Sumner.
