“There She Goes”. I don’t know why - I haven’t heard it lately. I guess it’s been stuck in my head since 1988. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/CZXLLMbJdZ4/maxresdefault.jpg "The La's - There She Goes") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZXLLMbJdZ4) ---

I often wake up with some unexplainable tune going through my mind, probably the result of 50 years as a radio disc jockey. Today it’s “Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car” by Billy Ocean. I haven’t thought of that song in years. Perhaps I heard it on the grocery store PA system last night. Who knows. It will fade away after a couple of hours. ---

_Soul Love_ by David Bowie [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/h3dtDdO5Op4/hqdefault.jpg "David Bowie - Soul Love") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3dtDdO5Op4) I’ve always held the view that I don’t much like Ziggy Stardust, but I gave it a listen the other day and I realised that, while I can’t stand Five Years and Suffragette City, I’m fine with the rest of it. So: _Soul Love_? Yeah, I’ll take that. j ---

Although I prefer [the other video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5uxQElYu68). Currently Ashnikko’s Cry, but the metal version…it’s a change from cute Japanese indie.
