"Dance Magic" by David Bowie

This one goes out to Dave and Fred, in honor of our pub quiz victory last night. We won out-right, but two teams were tied for third, and this was the song they had their third place tiebreaker dance off too. A guy named Freedom won the dance off. Austin: keeping it weird.

"The Man Who Sold The World (Live on SNL)" by David Bowie w/ Klaus Nomi

Full Song on YouTube

This is still the best version of this song ever recorded in my opinion. I think Nomi adds so much to this song. He's the super high pitched voice singing back up. He absolutely kills it at the end of the song. It's amazing.

And, if you've never seen the documentary about Klaus Nomi titled "The Nomi Song", I highly recommend you check it out. It's really good.

"Sometimes I Don't Get You" by Yo La Tengo

Full Song on YouTube

Sorry for the long break in posting. I had LASIK last week and my eyes have been having trouble with computer screens. But I'm back and will be posting daily again.

To say sorry for the short lay-off, I give you a song that has one of my all-time favorite piano solos in it. So, so simple, yet so, so tasty. Breath it in and enjoy it.
