No prob. I've listened to a lot of the Bowie you burned for me, btw, but I'm not quite as familiar with it yet as, I imagine, you would be.
I'm looking for two songs in Bowie's pre-1974 work that fulfill the following conditions:
1.) They have to directly follow each other, 2.) and not just on a CD, but *on the same side* of a vinyl LP, and 3.) they need to have themes of madness and/or (nuclear) destruction. (Or, in a pinch, other themes that are relevant to Sam's character. Time travel, whatever.)
Ah yes, of course. I think Hunky Dory's the best bet (and not saying that just 'cause I'm biased, lol). It's got some interesting stuff on it. Will have to try to remember to stick it on while I'm working one day...
Oh, yes, that's actually one I haven't converted to mp3s and put on my mp3 player yet. Maybe I should do that now... I tried Aladdin Sane and The Man Who Sold the World and Ziggy Stardust first, because they seemed the most obviously thematically relevant... and there's certainly quite a few songs on these that would fit, but I'm drawing a blank on finding two consecutive ones (that would also have been on the same side of an LP). Granted, I'm not entirely clear what some of the songs are about, so some of the ones that are before or after the more obvious ones may actually be relevant without me having noticed.
