Welcome!

 The Beatles and David Bowie are two of my favorite artists. They epitomized the popular culture and the zeitgeist of the 1960's, 70's and beyond. And yet, it's interesting to me that both existed in the mainstream (taking into account all of the Beatles' solo careers) around the same time and made music that was accessible to fans of both artists (which is why Beatles fans end up being Bowie fans as well). So with that knowledge, as well as my knowledge of and love for alternate history, I have decided to make an entire alternate timeline that has David Bowie enter the Beatles' lives perpetually, for better of for worse. The goal here is to make something realistic out of a scenario that isn't so, creating albums and scenarios that feel like they really could exist given the circumstances. Most of these albums will be able to be created pretty easily with a simple Spotify or Apple Music playlist, although I have some ideas for custom mixes as well. There are so

The Beatles - From Liverpool (1967)

David Bowie, born David Jones, was at a crossroads in his career. After a few failed singles with a few bands, he had left his label, Pye Records, for a new one, that being EMI. He had passed the audition, and it was here where he would make his mark on music, starting with his first single. He would record "The Laughing Gnome" in January 1967 when who should stop in the studio but one of the four kings of EMI John Lennon. When he first heard the recording, he laughed his ass off, calling it "the most absurd thing i've ever heard". But it was when Bowie played his other, more serious songs when Lennon started to take interest in him. The Beatles had just entered the studio in January, as well, to make their next album, the follow-up to  Revolver . There was a loose concept in Paul McCartney's mind, but other than that, it seems that the Beatles had run empty following the short break in recording "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane&quo

The Beatles - Space Oddity (1969)

Following the release of Get Back and their return to live performances, The Beatles were in the mood to write and record together. This would be the first recording sessions since The Beatles in early 1968 to have no large conflict whatsoever. David Bowie would be thanked for that, bringing John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison together in a way that would benefit the group as a whole. Bowie would also be to blame for their next single and the band's biggest song since "Hey Jude". On 25 July 1969, the Beatles would release "Space Oddity", just in time for the Apollo 11 Moon landing, which had concluded the previous day. The song would be an immediate smash hit and would be the impetus for the remainder of the sessions leading up to the release of their next album. On August 22, 1969, The Beatles would perform the song on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, with universally positive reviews from everyone watching. The song's B-side "You
