David Bowie 1947 – 2016
David Robert Jones died yesterday at age 69 — which seems way too young. I had no idea he was fighting liver cancer (which is reported as the cause of his death). I wouldn’t say Bowie is my favorite artist ever but you couldn’t help but be impressed by the vitality of his career. I have favorite songs from all parts of his career but a fondness for the overlooked stint with Tin Machine.

I’ve learned a thousand times more about the history of the band in the last 10 years then I ever did in the moment back then. Pictures and music of them playing in clubs from …
Oingo Boingo: Weird Science
The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo was the sound track to my years in highschool and some of college. For those of us growing up listening to KROQ one would think Oingo Boingo was really popular and they were, but after moving to the East Coast as an adult it was interesting to learn it was actually a bit of a west coast phenomenon. I think I’m going to do a series of posts this week on different aspects of the band. (Nothing too deep and probably I’ll have to come back and update them) Their biggest hits probably …
