#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.
Tonight’s guest: the one and only #SebastianBach! We’ll talk #SkidRow days, solo antics, and whatever wild ride he’s currently on.
Plus, Maggie Rose drops in, we dig into the theme from #TrailerParkBoys, and spin favorites from #BryanFerry, Weezer, War, #KingGizzard, Aimee Mann, Howard Jones, The Move, De La Soul, Mekons, #Paramore, some new Van Morrison, and more.
6p ET on WFPK—tune in, or get left in the dust.

Bryan Ferry on the 6 Music now saying he listens to Ladytron a lot these days and that makes a lot of sense.
My wife refuses to believe Roxy Music is a band and not an event space or recording studio, such is their legacy in contemporary music to as to become part of the background and invisible within the workings.

Maybe it’s just me but every time I hear this song I think of Phil, Phil, Phil!
Rest In Peace Phil Lesh!
You were the pulse. A driving force behind a long strange trip.

Bryan Ferry became known as the visionary behind Roxy Music in 1970, but he's been making solo records for almost as long. @RollingStone talked to "the king of elegant melancholy" about "Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023," which comes out on Friday, as well as his collage sensibility, approach to music-making and why he writes such lonely songs.
"I’ve always been the kind of person who occupies the corner in a party. I’ll try and hide because I like to be in the shadows, and I like to observe. I’m always curious about life and to see what’s going on," he says. "And then when you have those quiet moments at the piano, when you’re working and trying to express yourself, all those experiences come into play."
Read an interview with Bryan Ferry in Rolling Stone this morning and it's inspired me to binge Roxy Music today. Bliss.
Nobody sings Dylan like Ferry!
