That’s been open on my iPad for many months!

For the past couple of years, I’ve been binging on watching/listening to videos on my iPad & iPhone. So I have multiple YouTube tabs of music I haven’t gotten yet or CAN’T buy. (At least, not in CD format.) Examples include: 1) Several tabs from this channel are open on both of my devices...

Bowie wrote “All The Young Dudes” for Mott the Hoople after they turned down “Suffragette City”. He recorded a version of the vocals to give them a taste of how he thought the song should go, and they remixed part of that into the backing vocals. Bowie did his own version a couple years later...
