Today is the 40th anniversary of David Bowie’s Lodger album. An album that was mostly panned by critics and such. But, this is a great cover of “Fantastic Voyage.” AV Club comes through with Shearwater’s awesome cover (they did the whole Lodger album)! Enjoy!

“We’re learning to live with somebody’s depression. And I don’t want to live with somebody’s depression. We’ll get by, I suppose. It’s a very modern world, but nobody’s perfect.” – “Fantastic Voyage” (Bowie/Eno)

Yesterday was the 31st anniversary of my former #1 album and current #2 album of all time. But, it remains really close to that #1 spot. Operation:Mindcrime is a masterpiece and showcases the genius that was Queensryche. Yeah, I said was. I love Todd LaTorre as their new singer, but something about this lineup, with Tate and DeGarmo, was magic. I’m still a fan of the band with LaTorre, I want that clear. I couldn’t find a quality cover so you get the real thing here.

“Ten P.M., I feel the rain coming down. My face feels the wet, my mind the storm. Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour. Moving silent, through the streets, they’re mine, they’re mine.” – “Suite Sister Mary” (DeGarmo)

Today is the 40th anniversary of Charlie Daniel’s Band’s Million Mile Reflections which featured what is probably CDB’s most famous tune. Now, this version is different, a little cheesy even, but man, the girl is pretty darned smokin’, so I’ll go with it. Michelle Lambert, take it away…

Salutations™!!

At 815a this morning, I completed nearly 20 hours of waiting in the elements for records outside of Underdog Records. Yes, Record Store Day is today and I along with several of my friends camped out for it. One of the RSD releases that we went for and picked up was the Frank Black album by Frank Black. This is a decent cover.

Yeah, I’m taking the easy way out with this post, but I am known for music (sometimes good, sometimes bad), so this isn’t too far off base. Today is the 22nd anniversary of INXS’ Elegantly Wasted album. It wasn’t that great, I know, as a whole, but it had some moments. It was also the last album Michael Hutchens recorded with the band before his tragic passing in November of 1997. Here’s a decent cover of the title track. Enjoy!

“Look at all that shines. Baby’s down on the world and she knows it. If your spirits running. Why don’t we make it rain like we used to? We run. We hide. We wait and we want the good life. Aw sure, you’re right. This ain’t, the good life. Ah, Elegantly wasted.” – “Elegantly Wasted” (Farriss/Hutchens)

Still recovering from the vocal calisthenics? Yeah, me too. Well, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the release of Breakfast In America from Supertramp. I don’t like how she seems distant and unenthused but her tone, pitch and range are great. So, enjoy!

“A friend of mine she cries at night and she calls me on the phone. Sees babies everywhere she goes and she wants one of her own. She’s waited long enough she says and still, she can’t decide. Pretty soon she’ll have to choose and it tears her up inside. She’s scared, scared she’ll run out of time.” – “Nick of Time” (Raitt)

Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary of KISS’ Destroyer. Probably their most important album (unless you count Alive!). I didn’t even go looking for a cover. I went for the real thing. Enjoy!
