also love that this was the '90s reissue choice. the original was apparently a bit too austere
Lou Reed, 1974, posing w/ Guy Peellaert's painting of him and Bowie for "Rock Dreams"; the VU from the same book (from Peellaert's estate's site https://t.co/KKD8PolpvY )
#MWE Day 27, Jacksons, "Victory" (Jul 84). Of course I know the singles (was 12 then); what of the rest? "Wait" & "One More Chance" are ok generic 80s R&B; Tito's "We Can Change the World" doesn't; Randy's "The Hurt" does. A truly shoddy platinum record; it's rather impressive
#MWE Day 26, Peter Green "In the Skies" (May 79). If its contemporary Tusk was a future, this can sound like a smoother 1971, a Santana kept within bounds. A few hypnotic grooves, tho--"Slabo Day," "Tribal Dance," "Funky Chunk"--are krautrock in spirit (& possible influence)
ultimate Bowie at the BBC bootleg 8-disc set is back. wish the estate/Beeb would just take this idea & do it legit--the complete radio broadcasts are worth having in one place
maybe one of the 7,000 new Marvel series will be a faithful adaptation of "Secret Wars II," one of the most '80s and oddest things they ever ran
