David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust Ryko 1990 reissue extras

There were many important music anniversaries within 2012 and this blog had no reference to any of them. Let's try to cover some before this year ends. The first one was of course, earlier this year, the 40th anniversary of the release of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars lp, easily among the five best albums of the 70's.
The uploaded material offers the extras of the 1990 vinyl reissue.

Tracklisting:
1-John, I'm Only Dancing (mix)
2-Velvet Goldmine
3-Sweet Head
4-Ziggy Stardust (original demo)
5-Lady Stardust (original demo)

OST - The Rose (Bette Midler) (1979)

I read some time ago that a biopic about Janis Joplin is expected, which will chronicle the last six months of the singer's life. Joplin will be played by Nina Arianda. It was unavoidable to recall Bette Midler's role in The Rose which was loosely based on the life of Joplin. Midler's role earned her an Oscar nomination, while the song that took its name from the movie title was a big success for her.

Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards (1972)

After two Artful Dodgers and one Tiny Tim, the tribute to Charles Dickens is coming to an end with the most obvious of the choices, Uriah Heep. Enjoy.

Talib Kweli & Hi Tek - Reflection Eternal (2000)

This post salutes once more the struggle of the working people  against the greediness of the extreme minority that represent "the markets". So, hats off to the people in Spain and Portugal who keep the flame alive but also a good opportunity to remember the first anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement (on Sep., 17) that slipped my attention because of the reuploading project. Talib Kweli, among the protestors of Occupy Wall Street, was inspired the brilliant "Distraction (Occupy Wall Street Freestyle)", during (and because of) that period; the lyrics can be found here.

The offered upload gives one of his previous releases which is my personal pick from his discography. Enjoy!

Re-activating dead links - last part

With the addition of the missing links of 2010, 2011 and 2012, the reactivation project is now complete. Please report any dead links; now with mirrorcreator it's very time-consuming to check them myself again and again.
It's been some time since the last post with fresh material so within the next few days new stuff should be expected. I salute you all.

Re-activating dead links part 3

All links of 2009 are readily available. Enjoy!
