A short step for man…
…a giant leap for indie-pop.
It is indeed forty years ago since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.
How to mark that here? Posting ‘Space Oddity’ (which itself is forty years old now) by David Bowie with its’ sort of sequal ‘Ashes to Ashes’ as well?
Too obvious.
‘I’m the Urban Spaceman’ by the Bondo Dog Doo-Dah band?
A great track, but someone’s probably thought of that too.
So…I give you one of Japan’s finest bands…Shonen Knife.
Shonen Knife -’Riding On The Rocket.’ mp3
You’ve musically hit me where I live! Thanks for the great track Ed!
Glad you like it, I still feel the same about this track as I did when it came out; a twee-pop classic.
