Legend has it that producer Bob Ezrin told his young sons their mum had died to get the crying effect needed for Lou Reed's 'The Kids'.

It's likely not the truth, but either way, those distorted cries take a distressing song up another level or three.

Today's Bowie lyric:

"Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema
Dress my friends up just for show
See them as they really are
Put a peephole in my brain
Two new Pence to have a go
Like to be a gallery
Put you all inside my show"

Who else is set and ready for #Top31DavidBowie? ⭐

Some house rules to finalise too:

- Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise) can count as one pick (it certainly will do for me).

- Tin Machine songs are eligible for selection.

Any other questions, let me know...

Today's song lyric:

"I saw him in an airport, while he was sitting on a wing.
And I waved to him, but I don't think he noticed me.
I've got a funny feeling I know who he is.

Mr. X

It's been an absolute blast discovering so much music this year.

But that has meant that 2025 releases have been left by the wayside.

That is, until now. And after hearing rave reviews about Bon Iver's SABLE fABLE, I can understand why.

Such a rich and rewarding listen.

Heard so many good things about ICONOCLASTS.

And yet I'm still overwhelmed at just how epic it is - Anna von Hausswolff controls gothic proceedings like Nico on steroids.

Otis Sandsjö's sax on 'Struggle With The Beast' is heavenly yet descended directly from the fiery pits of hell.

Ride | Going Blank Again
5 | Cool Your Boots

Six minutes of pure bliss. If the first half of my list were very, very good songs, then the second half is somewhere approaching perfection.

Today's Joni Mitchell lyric:

"In a highway service station
Over the month of June
Was a photograph of the earth
Taken coming back from the moon
And you couldn't see a city
On that marbled bowling ball
Or a forest, or a highway
For me here, least of all"

🗣️ Pink Floyd
🎶 High Hopes
🗓️ March 1994

Potentially the most perfect and fitting ending (minus The Endless River) to any band's discography ever.

The video, the lyrics, the final guitar solo - it's absolutely everything, and more.

💿 Swordfishtrombones
🎶 Swordfishtrombone

"And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie"

The lyric and subsequent maniacal laugh sum up everything 80s Tom Waits has to offer - unhinged genius.

The lyric I'm thinking about today:

"I should have known you'd seek my opinion
From all over the country and out
To the great dominions
Careful
Some of the blunders of history
Have been made that way"

Ride | Going Blank Again
6 | Making Judy Smile

The quickest song on GBA and it flies by every time. It's one of those that I can very rarely play just once.

🗣️ Mark Hollis
🎶 The Watershed
🗓️ January 1998

Like the last two Talk Talk albums, Hollis' sole solo record is transcendent, and beyond words of a mere mortal like me.

💿 The Heart Of Saturday Night
🎶 San Diego Serenade

It's my only pick from Waits' second album, which I'm reluctant to call my least favourite.

It is the record of his which has least impacted me, but this song is one of his absolute finest.

Pretty certain my #5debutalbums7074 will be coming from this lot.

Quality over quantity for what I've heard, but whittling these in half is going to be no mean feat.

Public Image Ltd released 'Metal Box's #OnThisDay in 1979.

A post-punk tour de force, the band's second album remains their calling card, a treasure trove of abrasion and avant-garde merging to create a record which still sounds fresh and different to this day.

Today's Bowie lyric:

"Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach
Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are stabilised"

The Joni Mitchell lyric I'm thinking about today:

They would have cleared the floor
Just to watch the rain come down!
They're such sky oriented people
Geared to changing weather"

The lyric I'm thinking about today:

"Here she is with two small problems
And the best part of the blame
Wishes she could call him heartache
But it's not a boy's name"
