May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A great interview with Ken Scott, talking quite broadly about his time producing Bowie albums Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Aladdin Sane and Pin-Ups. Also a reissue review of the Low/Heroes/Lodger/Stage/Scary Monsters 180gm vinyl albums (for those of us who still haven’t bothered/won £500 on a scratch card to “invest” in ANCIANT box set). Can’t say I…
Wow, Mr David Bowie…I do love you! Listen to that voice! Wunderbar! I love these vocals isolations…and WHAT A VOICE to isolate! https://youtu.be/P3Jw_xmpPSU
Went to Ikea on Wednesday…got a few frames… This is the only one hanging, for now…and yes, there is a portrait in a landscape frame but I only have three landscape photos. Never mind.
Hmmmm. Interesting choice, Classic Rock! In choosing their “100 Greatest Albums of the 90s” they chose (one of the rules of the list – only ONE album per act/artist) EARTHLING over OUTSIDE?! HUH? I really like Earthling…but NOT over Outside! I mean…COME ON! Lol. It’s high up on the list too. Sorry…but it NEEDS to…
Took my guests to St Albans today. Among the places shown were Empire Records (my first meeting with Catherine taking place there in October, 2016) and to a vintage clothes shop. Some goodies to be had in both. Found recent back issues of Mojo magazine at the record shop…complete with complimentary CDs on the covers…
What about a BOWIE song typography? Anyone interested? Yep…I don’t just do Minds stuff (but, yes, I mostly do Minds stuff). So, Bowie fans out there, if you’d like to win a typography with your personal choice of songs (a minimum of 30, up to 50)…just comment here…with a fave Bowie song, or album, or…
Wowzers! Go Midge!
Celebrating its release date anniversary (in the US…it doesn’t get a release in the UK until April 1971) today. And seeing as I referred to this track when discussing Lady Grinning Soul in a recent post, it seemed appropriate to share the PURE SEX that is She Shook Me Cold. Incredible Ronson guitar and Visconti…
Went into town to FINALLY become a blood donor…(which…didn’t go to plan…never mind…trying again on Saturday) And on the way, stopped into the HMV. With £24 of vouchers to spend, I settled on these…I mean, HOW COULD I PASS UP a copy of Young Americans for £9.99?!! I couldn’t!. And…I just love, love, love Diamond…
Quite possibly the most sensual Bowie song there is. It just…expresses desire like no other song can. It isn’t about sex…other Bowie songs do that (She Shook Me Cold, for example…that’s about nothing else)…it’s about love-making, physical contact, the senses, foreplay. And it’s musically exotic…Spanish guitars…there’s a heat and sultriness to it musically because of…
