Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar, Bab L' Bluz and Etran de L'Air releasing albums within a few months of each other.

So funny that Blues music is kind of coming full circle.

From Africa originally and a combo of Islamic and Sub-saharan music tradition... to the USA from which rock and roll evolved... and now some of the most interesting contemporary blue and rock music is being made in Africa.

First, going back to Human League’s Fascination. Human league’s founding members created a production Co. and formed a side project with a friend and named it Heaven 17 after the band listed by Alex from A Clockwork Orange in the record store scene. Seemed logical to me.


I saw Bowie once with NIN at the Hershey outdoor stadium. They performed together during the encore. Reznor head to toe black leather Jet black hair covered in sweat. Bowie head to toe white leather platinum blonde hair and groomed like a runway model. Singing together inside the same spotlight, fantastic image.

A favorite Bowie cover:

The XPN Countdown is on and pretty much right away they got to one of my top ten (& @Captain Dave Poulin's as well, I'm sure.)

Coming in at #880, this one was a constant in our lives from 2005 on, featured heavily in some family videos I made back then. At the time I was a new father with an adorable baby girl. That little girl is now a sophisticated young woman. Wild.



They haven't hit any of my other top ten yet, but there have been a few of my honorable mentions, including this gem that was short-listed:

Finally able to listen to the end of the countdown for a while. A bit concerned about the lack of Taylor Swift. Not because I want to hear it, but I’m worried about how much is to come.
