One of the great features of @plexamp is the "On this day" section when you load the app up.
I always try to listen to whatevers featured. As my library grows though I imagine it'll get harder and harder 😅

Any major dude will tell you that today is Donald Fagen’s 76th birthday.

It’s David Bowie’s birthday and he would have been 77. I still feel very raw over his death, probably because of things that had been going on in my own life, and those dark January days.
Anyway, let’s focus on his life and music. I’ve been listening to The Stars Are Out Tonight quite a bit, and it strikes me as being quite similar to China Girl in parts. The video is excellent: https://youtu.be/gH7dMBcg-gE?si=9kDfI4h6U82r8aJ1

#RubberSoul by #TheBeatles was released 58 years ago today, on 3 December 1965.
Listen to Nowhere Man: https://youtu.be/8scSwaKbE64?si=vv1DdW6o1WM34eNi
Of my many older attempts to draw The Beatles, I was quite happy with this one just because of how Paul turned out. I know Ringo in particular is not great.

Happy 75th birthday to #OzzyOsbourne!

Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson Lake and Palmer was released 50 years ago on 19 November 1973, sporting the memorable cover by #HRGiger, of which this is my version.
The name #BrainSaladSurgery was taken from the lyrics of Right Place Wrong Time by #DrJohn:
“just need a little brain salad surgery, got to cure my insecurity”

I’ve not drawn anything new and posted it here in an age, but out of a combination of self-care and trying not to lose my union card, see below a very quick, scrappy attempt at a hairy Beatle.
This is John in 1969, when he was only 28 or 29 years old. He was murdered not long after he turned 40, and would have been 83 years old on 9 October.

Steve Mackey of Pulp sadly died this morning at the age of 56.
Outside of his work with Pulp, he was a busy producer, songwriter and sound designer, working with Florence and the Machine, The Long Blondes and on Jarvis' solo albums.

Richard Harris was born on this day in 1930.
Another towering, storied Irish talent who was much more than a “Harry Potter actor”, he also had a big hit with MacArthur Park in 1968, written by the brilliant Jimmy Webb (of Wichita Lineman, Highwayman and many others).
Listen to it today, perhaps watch this live performance, and remember to bring your cake inside at the first sign of showers.

Huddie Ledbetter, aka Lead Belly, was born on 20 January 1888. Or 23 January 1888. Or 20 January 1889. There is some disagreement.
