Comment:

My girlfriend recently got a car (sans CD player) and has asked me to make her some tapes. I know she likes Bowie, but she doesn't own anything by him and has mainly heard the hit singles. So I threw this together last night...a 120 minute tape focusing on what I'd consider his essential period. There's nothing academic about it--I threw it together in the same way I used to throw tapes together 10 years ago...by sitting in front of the stereo with all the CDs in question and arranging it on-the-fly. (In other words, I didn't time anything out beforehand). Came out pretty nice, but there was about 15 songs I had to excise (most regrettably perhaps was the "Lady Stardust" demo, which I originally wanted to end the tape). But I did get to squeeze on some cool rarer stuff from the old Ryko CDs (including the "Sound + Vision" box) and managed to stray from most of the big oversaturated hits. Ah well, I think it works alright....and hey, it's 31 more Bowie songs than she owned before. :-) (Songs I had to excise: "Width Of A Circle," "Changes," "Quicksand," "Five Years," "Suffragette City," "Lady Stardust (demo)," "John, I'm Only Dancing (sax version)," "Drive In Saturday," "Panic In Detroit," "Lady Grinning Soul," "Future Legend/Diamond Dogs," "Candidate (demo)," "Dodo," "Sweet Thing," "Fame," "Stay," "Word On A Wing," "Station To Station," "Golden Years," "Speed Of Life," "Sound + Vision," "Beauty And The Beast," "The Secret Life Of Arabia," "African Night Flight," "Look Back In Anger," "Scream Like A Baby," "Teenage Wildlife," "It's No Game (Part 2)" and "Alabama Song.")
