the Pravda's Ziggy Stardust


As most around Boston know, the pill's Halloween show is Wednesday at Great Scott, uniting the first real rock star, David Bowie, with the last, Pete Doherty, and with some Blur and the Stone Roses thrown in to rep the Britpop '90s.

To get the glittery juices flowing, the Daily Pravda have posted a recording of "Ziggy Stardust" on their MySpace page.

Now, us over at the Barrows' pill HQ don't fancy Bowie as an opening act (unless it's the Earthing-era), and neither should you. When listening to the Pravda, close your eyes and visualize the theatrical glam rock spectacle. Then imagine Ian Brown and John Squire on the same stage together -- with dynamic chemistry that launched the Stone Roses; witness a fully-functioning Pete Doherty leading the drug-fueled Libertines -- well, almost functioning; delve into the Cool Britannia popscene with the one and only Blur -- in a world where Coxon and Albarn hug every hour.

This should be awesome. Tickets are available at Great Scott and Ticketweb.com.
