Muses about music, musicians, and musical interludes of all sorts. Also, chronicling the creation of an album of original songs, by a guy who figures he might as well. Thursday, March 12, 2015. If You’re Only Going to Buy One Greatest Hits Set From… David Bowie. The way I started listening to The Beatles:. Now, I had heard Beatle songs on Musicradio 77 WABC, but since they didn’t always front- or back-announce who it was, I often didn’t know. Eleanor Rigby ’. We Can Work It Out ’. You may hate Heathen.

First though, a few they missed:. 1) "I Go to Sleep", Pretenders. Concert release. Both versions blow away the original. 2) "Sleep", Azure Ray.

But when my wife and I finally started watching, we quickly became hooked. Now, obviously the world doesn’t need yet another person saying that The Wire. May be the most the most intricately designed series in TV ...
