David Marsden on the Rock.FM every Saturday and Sunday night from 7 p.m. until midnight.

Tonight’s show was a refreshing respite from the real world. Imagine a place where worries and cares are left at the door while fabulous tunes roll purposefully into your ears…that’s the Marsbar Theatre on Saturday and Sunday nights. If you haven’t experienced it, you are really missing out on something wonderful.

Many thanks to Blogger Andrew/Nowhereman who filled in some of the gaps by sending me the BDS list (which, unfortunately does not capture every song). We’re much closer to a completed list, however, thanks to his efforts.

Gary Numan ~ Semi-Unplugged via SHOWstudio

It has been well over a year since I saw/met Gary Numan in Orlando. During that time, he has recorded an incredibly moving album called Dead Son Rising, and has performed in multiple venues across Europe and Australia. Critics, who panned him for the last 20+ years, are again enamored of him, and rightfully so (although I think they’ve had their heads up their collective behinds for the past two decades, but that’s a rant for another post).

Recently, Mr. Numan engaged in a presentation called “SHOWstudio” where he performed several of his songs in a semi-unplugged (minimal back-up) style. The breathtakingly atmospheric videos are posted on YouTube and are way too fabulous to not repost here. Enjoy!
