Daily Bowie - Try Some, Buy Some

Throughout his career, Bowie actually recorded a lot more covers than i ever would have imagined.  And they pop up all over the place.  One of my favorites is the 2003 cover of George Harrison's "Try Some, Buy Some," from the "Reality" LP.  It somehow manages to feel intimate and enormous at the same time.  Listen below...your Daily Bowie.

Daily Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

From 2013's "The Next Day," today's Daily Bowie is "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)."  Listen below and enjoy.

Youth Code - Transitions

"Commitment to Complications," the latest from LA electro-industrial act Youth Code is due next month on Dais Records.  Listen to "Transitions" below.

Daily Bowie - Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise)

Oh "Diamond Dogs," how i love you so.  Today's Daily Bowie is actually three songs, yet they flow together so perfectly and wonderfully, that it might as well be one, long, epic track.  Listen to "Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise)" below and have a marvelous day.

Chris Forsyth and The Solar Motel Band

I'm tired today.  I don't have a real reason except that having two children (regardless of how well-tempered, good, or sweet they are) just absolutely drains you.  So, i'm in a slow groove kind of mood this morning.  "The First Ten Minutes of Cocksucker Blues" is a psych-drenched, prog and jazz borrowing jam that just feels right today.  Chris Forsyth and The Solar Motel Band have tapped into something that could easily be the gateway to some extended sense of being, a trance-inducing wonder.  Or it's just the kind of thing to space out and float away to, going nowhere in particular.  Listen below and get the new "The Rarity of Experience" LP from No Quarter tomorrow.

Daily Bowie - Rock n' Roll Suicide (BBC Session)

Seeing as the excellent compilation "Bowie at the Beeb" just got a beautiful 4-record reissue (get it here), let's cull this afternoon's Daily Bowie from that album.  "Rock n' Roll Suicide" is one of my favorite Bowie tracks, and this raw and stripped down take from BBC Radio in the early 70's is a gem.  Listen below.

Thug Entrancer

Producer and electronic artist Thug Entrancer has a new record coming out from Software/Mexican Summer called "Arcology," and it's the closest thing to music meant for cyborgs that you're likely to hear today.  Listen to "Curaga" below and grab the record here.  Act quick and get the "Data Slave" cassette while they last.

M83 - Do It, Try It

So it looks like we've got a new album from M83 heading our way in April, the first since 2011.  "Junk" sounds like it will be a fun and playful record...and maybe a little weird.  Take a listen to the goofy, but catching album opener "Do It, Try It" below and get the record next month from Mute.

RIP George Kennedy

RIP George Kennedy, see here knocking the snot out of Paul Newman in my dad's favorite movie.

Daily Bowie - John, I'm Only Dancing

From the 1972 single, Bowie's "John, I'm Only Dancing" is one of those songs that could almost fit into any era if tweaked enough (see the re-recording "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)" from the "Young American" sessions).  It's fun and it hops and grooves.  Your Daily Bowie.
