David Bowie in The Man
Who Fell to Earth
Thanks for suggesting your criminal records (see what I did there?) last time. However, one reader observed that this blog can't go a week without mentioning Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash (see also: Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, The Smiths). Hopefully this week's theme should give us a sabbatical from the usual suspects and inspire a few curveballs.
The topic is space and sci-fi - that covers any songs about space travel (real or imagined), robots, and aliens, from Bowie's Major Tom songs and P-Funk's cosmic fantasies to the burbling futurism of electro and techno and the sci-fi jabbering of Frank Black. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on...
Deadline, as usual, is 6pm Monday.
