Monday’s Tune: Life on Mars? Special

Aracde Fire & David Bowie – Life on Mars? Life On Mars? (Live at Fashion Rocks)

Greetings!

Life on Mars? is one of David Bowie’s best and most moving songs. Appeared for the first time on the album Hunky Dory from 1973, BBC Radio 2 later called “a cross between a Broadway musical and a Salvador Dalí painting”.  The attached version is a recorded performance of David Bowie together with Arcade Fire (featured last week) at Fashion Rocks on 8th September, 2005 in New York.

Monday’s Tune: The Apples

And today, to continue the story from last week, but sans politics, here are The Apples – an Israeli jazz band who’s members are from Haifa, Tel Aviv and New York.
