Panic in Detroit

Postby ben_at_work » Mon Mar 28, 2005 6:10 am

Well, I would like to think that i am very knowledgeable when it comes to New Wave and Punk music and music in general. So, how in the heck did i miss David Bowies "Panic in Detroit". I just heard it on my internet radio station and was like, who's that and it was Bowie. I guess it goes to show, you've never really heard everything. It's cool because to me it's like a new release [8D] Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I just heard "Dissident" by Thomas Dolby for the first time ever. Pretty good song.

Quite often, but it's also cool to rediscover songs that I'd forgotten about. (Kind of like "Panic In Detroit".)[:D]

Yes, it's great to discover new bands as well.
For me I discovered: Bonk, Kissing the Pink, The Twins and other german new wave/synth.

Common People...William Shatner...I got the Shatner but couldn't figure out the singer...I definitely knew the voice...drove me nuts til I could look it up...it was Joe Jackson!

(and Panic in Detroit is my very favorite Bowie tune)...

Really one of the coolest Bowie songs of all time. I'm glad you discovered it so I can go dig it out on vinyl and rediscover it.

I have a weird, 1979 (?) Bowie version of this that's no where near as good but interesting to hear for him in his Ashes to Ashes phase with the Carlos Alomar driven band...look for it from me on The Hub...
