Shall I jam Space Oddity? The Laughing Gnome? Heroes? Changes? Ziggy Stardust? Magic Dance? China Girl? Hallo Spaceboy? Let's Dance? Loving The Alien? I can't go wrong really. I ended up choosing Bowie's latest video (that I have found anyway) cuz it shows he's just as simultaneously out of this world and down to Earth as he always has been.
I have this list on my wall that I have used this past month to help me focus on what artists I wanted to jam. I started with roughly sixty names on the list, but have only managed to jam about a dozen. Many I ultimately chose aren't on this list. Not sure if this experiment with the list is a successful failure or a failed success. The list has become a starting point from which to decide. A tool or guideline more than a rigid list I had to abide by. Many of the names on this list, when I think of their body of work, I just can't decide which of their songs to jam, cuz I love everything. David Bowie is one of those artists. It's all so good.
