Check out a great, smart new book about #davidbowie — #davidbowieandromanticism — link in bio for details or visit jamesrovira.com #bowie ended the 80s sick of being David Bowie - he wanted to burn down the pop icon he had created throughout the 80s, and the band #tinmachine was his vehicle for doing so. Their first #album, released in #1989, or any of the band’s music for that matter, has not aged well in later receptions of Bowie’s work, but I love these albums. I think Tin Machine’s music needs to be evaluated against the history of #grunge, which was starting up about the same time. While members of the first grunge bands like @nirvana grew up listening to @ledzeppelin and #punk like I did, these bandmembers had been around a bit longer and were bringing in older influences. I love @reevesgabrels’s guitar work for this band, and #huntsales and #tonysales as the rhythm section drove these songs hard. #vinylcollector #vinyljunkie #vinylrecords #rocknroll #vinyladdict #rockandroll #vinyl #vinylcollection #rockmusic #vinylcommunity #vinyljunkie #music #classicrock #rock #rockmusic #rockandroll #rockandromanticism #80s #80srock #80smusic #newrock #alternative #moonagedaydream (at Vinyl Request Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6VNTRO1Ht/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
