This week: music astronauts listen to


Peter Schilling: Major Tom (Völlig Losgelöst)

 

This week I’m posting songs that astronauts (and cosmonauts) would dig. This first song is the German version of the 80’s super hit Major Tom and the figure in the photo above is none other than first human in space and all around badass cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. He never made it to the new wave era but something tells me he and his astro-cronies would be belting the "oh oh oh ohhh"s of this tune while wearing their spacesuits and drinking molotov cocktails for sure.
