#30DaySongChallenge Day 26: A song you've had stuck in your head
Out Of The Blue by #RoxyMusic
This morning I did a bit of research on Roxy Music because, while I am aware of their influence, I don't actually know much more than their US hits.
Things I have learned:
- Their first album was back in 1972!? That's earlier than I thought. Also at least 1 or 2 tracks felt very proto-punk, which was surprising.
- Brian Eno was only with the band for the first 2 albums, neither of which had any songs I was familiar with going into this. Love is the Drug, Avalon, and More Than This... all of those were well after Eno had anything to do with the band.
- After RM broke up, David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd) and 2 members of Dire Straits played on Bryan Ferry's 1985 solo album Girls and Boys.
You can't keep the Brain DJ away from a Saturday night playlist, smack-dab in middle of the glamourous 1970s –

23 March 1973 saw the release of Roxy Music's landmark second album, 'For Your Pleasure', the last to capture the intensity of two rapidly diverging creators, Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno together.
"For Your Pleasure walks the tightrope between the experimental and the accessible, creating a new vocabulary for rock bands, and one that was exploited heavily in the ensuing decade."

#running
Was hoping to build stamina by trying to run slower this afternoon but failing.
I think I spent too long this morning glued to the news. Still carrying a bit of Black Dog from Dec/Jan.
