David Bowie Writes About His Favorite Bowie Songs

Those lucky Brits! Prince gave away his new CD for free in U.K. newspapers last summer and this past Sunday’s Daily Mail came with a free 12-track Bowie compilation handpicked by The Man Who Fell to Earth himself. (Americans have to settle with finding only coupons and Parade magazine in their newspapers…) Even better, Bowie wrote the accompanying liner notes about each song, which you can now read online. The 12 songs he discusses are:

“Life On Mars”
“Sweet Thing/ Candidate/ Sweet Thing”
“The Bewlay Brothers”
“Lady Grinning Soul”
“Win”
“Some Are”
“Teenage Wildlife”
“Repetition”
“Fantastic Voyage”
“Loving The Alien”
“Time Will Crawl”
“Hang On To Yourself (live)”
