The Irrepressibles - Let Go (Everybody Move Your Body Listen to Your Heart)

The Irrepressibles have a new album coming out in May called "Superheroes".  They've released multiple tracks in the previous months but I'm not sure which belong to this album and which were one-offs.  This is the first of any of these tracks I've really enjoyed.  The video is GREAT and the message is wonderful.  A message we should apply to all facets of our lives if you ask me!

David Bowie - My Top 10 - Part 1

This was a hard one to do.  The first draft of my David Bowie Top 10 spanned his entire career, from his self-titled debut all the way through to his last EP of new music in 2017.  As you can see from my list, my faves ended up cutting his career down a couple decades.  Nonetheless, nothing can take away from the amazingness that is all things David Bowie.  I rarely get emotional for celebrity passings, but hearing of his really struck a cord with me for whatever reason.  His final album is one of my favorites, which is strange to say considering his insane catalog.  There are endless things we can say about Bowie, but I'll keep it simple with, I love him.
My fave David Bowie songs starts ... NOW! 

6.  Something in the Air



7.  Dollar Days



8.  Where Are We Now?



9.  I'm Deranged

It was only a matter of time before supreme GODDESS of POP! Vanessa received her very own Top 10 list from me!  Vanessa is pure joy, pure beauty, pure POP!!  I'll never forget discovering her on YouTube while watching a  random ABBA video.  Seeing her smiling face in a still as a recommended video at the end of said video was a must-click moment and my life has never been the same!  "Upside Down" was the song. Vanessa was the Diva.  The rest is history.
