NPR was playing a montage of songs by artists who died in the year 2011, and I heard a snippet of "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. Of course, I didn't think "Ah, it's Baker Street." Instead, I thought, "It's that song. That's actually a pretty nice song. What is the name of that song and who performs it? Wow, I have no idea. Quick, brain, copy a snippet of lyrics so that later on you can paste them into an internet search string!" Somehow, this plan worked. Thirteen hours after hearing it on NPR, I give this song to you to enjoy.
Have a happy new year!

Series 3, Episode XV: "Boughs of Bowie"
The Bowie Tree has many branches—or "boughs," if you will. This week we'll be decking The Lab with many such boughs, i.e., some of our favorite examples of the seemingly countless ways—direct and indirect—in which Mr Bowie has infiltrated other musicians and pop culture in general. Here's but one example a couple examples to help get you in the spirit:

2. And here, of course, is the infamous Bowie v. Jagger Dance-Off:
