Scott Peeples

Just chose this album to discuss with the music club I'm part of. We meet once a week, play songs/videos from an album and discuss what we like (or dislike) about it. I'm picking this one because I've always been a Bowie enthusiast and "Life On Mars" floated back into my radar recently when it was prominently used in the movie "Liquorice Pizza." It's a spectacular song and every bit as good as some "Changes," although in a completely different way. Another favorite here is "Kooks." All in all, it's just hunky dory!

1979 is a mood song that sticks in your head and reminds you of a certain time and place, even if you can't figure out what that time and place is. There something intangible about it that makes you pay attention. A few other great tunes here, too.
