Getting a batch of new followers today, so a fine time I guess for another introduction thread.

Hi, I'm Christiana, and odds are you're following me because of the cute corgi pictures I post of Rocket! (See attached)

But I also do other things! 1/5

Bowie Day 32 “Space Oddity” (1969) Track 1 of “David Bowie (Space Oddity)”

Okay here it is, Bowie’s first real hit. Important enough to me that I will devote more than a single post to it.

This song was my first real introduction to Bowie. I’d certainly heard other…cont.

Bowie Day 31 “Did You Ever Have A Dream” (1967) B-Side of the Love You Til Tuesday Single

A bubbly little bit of fluff, but fun enough. Unconventional sound, (brass, banjo and harpsichord?), and Bowie’s voice sounds different. Almost unrecognizable.

Tomorrow’s a big one!

Doing a movie double-feature today with Die My Love, and Sisu.

A few other things I also want to see but I’m starting with the ones that may not be around as long.

Bowie Day 30 “Love You ‘til Tuesday (Single Version)” (1967)

A new version of the song on the album, I like it marginally better. Had a much fuller and more propulsive orchestral backing & an even-more-smiley vocal performance. Liked the other version, like this one too.

Bowie Day 29 "Please Mr. Gravedigger" (1967) Track 14 (final) track of "David Bowie"

Okay, this is less a real song than a sort of sing-songy skit like on an old-fashioned variety show, but it's no less delightful for all that.

Full of footsteps, thunder and sneezes!

Bowie Day 28 “Maid of Bond Street” Track 13 of “David Bowie”

Another waltz! Another character song, definitely a girl this time. About a young woman who is successful but lonely in high-fashion London.

Some nice rapid-fire lyrics here and a sweet sway in the music.

Bowie Day 27 “She’s Got Medals” Track 12 of “David Bowie”

Bowie loves writing songs about weird little guys! But this one is about a girl, or is it?

Definitely presages some of his interest in gender-bending. Fun musically too, I like it, though I was rooting for Tommy.

Cartoon watching night for me.

Bowie Day 26 “Join the Gang” (1967) Track 11 of “David Bowie”

This one is interesting! Absolutely vicious takedown of London’s drug/club culture with the certainty of a 19-year-old who does later get more involved with it. Great lyrics, crazy sitar opening. Silly finish.

Bowie Day 25 “Silly Boy Blue” (1967) Track 9 of “David Bowie”

I like this one musically but I confess I find the lyrics a little inscrutable? Bowie (like many) was interested in Tibet, so that’s in the mix, general mood is clear, but I’m not always sure what it all means.
