 I certainly don't get the Bowie connection. Proclivities wrote:
If anything, it's an apparent homage - do you think they expected no one to remember that Bowie tune? It shares one or two of the same chords and the tempo is very different. It's obviously influenced by the Bowie song, as well as earlier Roxy Music stuff (which Bowie's tune was probably influenced by), but no attorney on Earth could bring a plagiarism suit over this. |

I thought this song was named "The Last High."

From Mick Jagger to this... pretty harsh contrast. Serves only to make Courtney Taylor-Taylor's voice that much more soothing and delicious.

Exactly. This album cover in particular, references two album covers designed by Andy Warhol. |

Not that great a song, compared to some of the poppy hits. The rhythm sounds a bit like Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes."

Album titled after a great Kurt Vonnegut story.

This has always been their thing...so few people get it...even with the obvious name of the band. Dust off your soup can...another "hit" by the Dandys. |

Wait'll you see the big Odditorium building they have in the Alphabet District. Fun creative indulgence. I'm headed back for Waterfront Blues and the microbrew fest in July, hope you can make it, too! |
