The next phase of the Album Project is to listen to all David Bowie's studio albums - that's 25 albums! And so I started with 'David Bowie' (1967), which was a very odd album. When he released his debut album he was 20 years old. Apparently at this early stage of his career he was influenced by various people including The Kinks. I guess the crazy story songs (like 'Uncle Arthur') fit with that. It's an odd album really. I can't say I like all the songs, but some are great. 'Little Bombadier' is very sad.

Album Project Update! 'Blur' (1997). This is the re-invention of Blur - gone are the silly songs of 'The Great Escape'. There are songs on this that are far more like their earlier albums. It's likely that you would know 'Song 2', which is annoyingly the only song that gets onto Rock Band's playlist! But hey. I really like 'Strange News From Another Star'. It's grown up. It's a new direction for the band. Hooray!
