Major Tom 1

I was fooling around listening to Bowie and Schilling and the cover by Brix Smith and others and thingking that would make a pick outta this world Rocket Man kind of mixtape. I didn't include Blackstar, but I am sure I will in volume two which isn't ready yet, but there is enough here to satiate any fan of Major Tom. I know there have been some rumours that this isn't quite about astronauts, but instead it's about drugs. To you I say, too bad. Lots of Elton John covers, several Bowie and then some other originals in the same theme.
