I first heard Roxy Music in high school, maybe even before, the sounds of "Avalon" echoing to the end of the '80s and beyond. I didn't pay too much attention until i was a teenager, having just discovered Brian Eno through this weirdo i knew back in school. He wore the same puffy orange coat every single day...even in the summer...even in Texas. So i checked out those early Roxy Music albums before Eno departed the band, and i wasn't ready. College brought me into the Bryan Ferry's circle once again via Todd Haynes' "Velvet Goldmine" film, and this time around, i took to it like a fish in water. Nothing else sounds like Roxy Music. And nothing should. Here's "Ladytron" from the band's debut, our Daily Jam.
