New Bowie EPs In 2020

As Stereogum helpfully explains …

It’s a little confusing, so bear with me. First, there’s an EP called Is It Any Wonder? featuring rare and previously unreleased tracks. That one is trickling out one song per week, starting with “The Man Who Sold The World (ChangesNowBowie Version).” It’s taken from a radio session that comprises the other new Bowie release, a limited edition nine-track LP and CD called ChangesNowBowie, which is coming on Record Store Day.

Here’s that first digital track, released yesterday on what would have been Bowie’s 73rd birthday.

Harmonious Aeolian Bastards

”It was only after a critic for the [London] Times said we put ‘Aeolian cadences’ in ‘It Won’t Be Long’ that the middle classes started listening to us. … To this day, I have no idea what ‘Aeolian cadences’ are. They sound like exotic birds.”

– John Lennon

The critic was referring to another song, and no one knows what Aeolian cadences are, but whatevs. Me likey!

Props to these young Argentinians.
