25 Days of Bowie

I've been wracking my brain thinking of playlist ideas for December, and then it dawned on me, after stepping out of the shower and hearing "Ashes to Ashes" on my playlist, it's time to resurrect 25 Days of Bowie. I started the David Bowie themed advent count down in 2009 on this blog and it's time to bring it back. Each day in December will have a David Bowie themed post with a treat of some sort: video, playlist, graphic, book, etc. This is by far the best and most awesome way to count down to Christmas!
