  urlLink Peter Schilling On my path of self-improvement, one of my personal goals has been to get music into my life as often as possible. I've discovered that when I don't get a good dose of music during my day, I simply don't function as well. As such, I've been using a little program called urlLink NetRadio to listen to a urlLink ShoutCast -based radio station called urlLink Club 977 . They play 80's music. Now to get to the point of all this rambling. Club 977 frequently plays a one-hit-wonder song by Peter Schilling called "Major Tom".
After being re-introduced to this little ditty, I recalled how much I like it. It has a very haunting melody, and a really nice beat. One of my co-workers told me yesterday he considered it "creepy". I found this odd, but then again, I have never really listened to the lyrics (I'm more of a "music" guy, not a "lyrics" guy), so today I looked 'em up. Now I had already known of another "Major Tom" from a David Bowie hit from the 70's, but had no idea these two tunes were actually somewhat "related". So I found this web site, which gives a nice write-up on the song and it's tie to Bowie's tune. Pretty interesting stuff.
