It's been years since I heard this, and then I heard it today on the radio . . . WFMU of course.

Starcrawler - I Love L.A.
I heard these guys on WFMU this morning. I'd heard this song before but I didn't know who did it.
I really like it - I spent a good bit of time streaming Starcrawler songs in the background as I did some work at home.

Just a public service announcement:

Ozzy Osborne: All The Young Dudes
Thanks to an amazing two and half hours of Bowie and Bowie covers on station manager Ken's show on WFMU this morning, I heard this:
Ozzy covering "All the Young Dudes" - written by David Bowie, and given to Mott the Hoople by Bowie.
Pretty amazing.
The WFMU show is streamed, if you want to hear Ozzie's cover, weirder ones like the Langley Schools Music Project doing Space Oddity, and more. This was my workout music this morning - unexpected but great.

Wire - Map Ref. 41N 93W
The is my favorite song by Wire. I happened to turn on WFMU just in time to catch it on Fabio's show, Strength Through Failure.
"Map Ref. 41N 93W"
I especially love that they introduce the chorus by saying, "Chorus!"
I must have worn out the section of audiotape where I had that song back in the mid-90s. That's when I discovered Wire and a lot of other UK punk I'd missed when I was younger - Wire, the Stiff Little Fingers, the Undertones, Poly Styrene and X-Ray Specs, Infrariot, Television, and more. Some bands I'd heard of, but never heard - some neither. Some I knew the catalog backward and forward - Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks. Wire was a "neither." This song just blew me away . . . and I hadn't listened to it in years. Time to pull out all my Wire stuff and re-listen. They're touring the NY area right now, but work means I won't see them. Maybe someday.
