Sound & Vision (3.5)

Which version? The recent "re-release" or the genuine article from, what, 20 years ago?

I love the songs Heroes and All the Young Dudes.

I have a couple of good covers of those - Heroes by Blondie, and All The Young Dudes by Gene Loves Jezebel. Well, and, as someone metioned upthread, the Goth Oddity (which, now that I think about it, is where the GLJ cover comes from), but, for the most part, they were eh.

I have the 1989 Sound & Vision. that was NOT 20 years ago. sigh.

I have the Blondie Heroes, but have never heard the GLJ. And I like GLJ, so I'd love to hear it, may have to look for that? The Alejandro Escovedo, All the Young Dudes maked me ridiculously happy, I think I've mentioned that hear before.

edit - it helps if I read the previous post correctly and thoroughly.

I heard the Bowie "Heroes" in Starbucks today, and it played concurrently in my head with the Moulin Rouge version.

Hey Angus! I actually just saw that album on some best-of list within the past week, but I'm waaaay too lazy to see if it was on Pitchfork's.

And I spent most of the afternoon listening to Miles Davis's Jack Johnson Sessions box. Which is most decidedly not white guy music (although it's so influential to the indie-rock that maybe someone could make that argument, but not me).

Is that all it was? I could have sworn it was earlier, but I was too lazy to look it up. So, 15 years ago. And you could get a LOT of money for that, by the way. Does it have those videos on it?

It has the Ashes to Ashes video, but that's it.

The Alejandro Escovedo, All the Young Dudes maked me ridiculously happy, I think I've mentioned that hear before.

When I saw him live with True Believers (they were opening for Los Lobos at The Channel - mid 80s), he did T. Rex's "20th Century Boy." (Steve Berlin sat in on sax.) Throw in his New York Dolls love and he's almost as much of a glam fiend as I am.

I have a 12" single with "Heroes" in English/German on one side and English/French on the other. That and a CD of Hunky Dory are the only Bowie I own.

I'm sure you're going to say yes, but is the Interpol CD good? I love "NYC" and "Obstacle 1" oh so much.

Yes. If you like those two songs then it won't disappoint.

Both times I've been to Austin, I've seen Alejandro hanging out at the awesome Maria's Taco X-Press. I've heard his health is a little better.

Ha, yes, I think in this case it was a specific riposte to some band whose records used to say "no synthesisers were used in this recording"...was it Queen? (Which would be a bit ironic considering how completely non-"live" their music sounds!)

The only album I've ever seen this was on Queen's A Night at the Opera, which IIRC came out in '75.

First album I ever owned. sniff....

I've mentioned this before, but my first three music loves were Elton John, Queen, and David Bowie. I was so meant to be gay.

I've heard his health is a little better.

I'm glad. Somebody should get his life story down on tape - he's got to have some stories to tell having been involved in so many seminal scenes, and with his personal history.

I need to report two things: (1) Iggy's "Shake Appeal" still fuckin' smokes; (2) I think I am addicted to Trader Joe's hummus.
