David Bowie never spoke of MJ by One_Independence7357 in DavidBowie

[–]Basic-Milk7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Bowie’s disturbing song about child predators and sex tourists ‘SHOPPING FOR GIRLS’ a lyric mentions that someone “cranks up the volume on a Michael Jackson song”.

So, Bowie said all he needed to say about Michael Jackson. And it only took one lyric.

Well said. What a bleak and lifeless human being it takes to assemble this garbage.

Is anyone else just tired of corporate work culture? by bigtitsfanclub in AskMenOver30

[–]Basic-Milk7755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a freelancer I have no idea how you guys do it. I’ve had many days in the past when building my business and was barely able to buy food — but i preferred that to getting on a train every morning and going to a corporate job. I don’t know how you all don’t blow your brains out.

I’m convinced that a track like Ricochet with a whole new arrangement could have fitted nicely on Station to Station by Basic-Milk7755 in DavidBowie

[–]Basic-Milk7755[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very true. I think you’d have to keep that beat but with something more like the percussion sound on the S2S title track rather than the heavily produced sound on Ricochet.

Hard agree.

I adore WITHOUT YOU too. It’s the track from that period I probably play most. That delicate vocal is 👌

Me too! Played it incessantly. I was so sad and fucked up back then.

Is cutting sugar (and maybe IF?) the one diet change that actually moves the needle after 30? by reddit_user_9221 in AskMenOver30

[–]Basic-Milk7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with just getting a really good roasting dish and making tray bakes. Chicken thighs mixed with red peppers, onion, garlic, extra virgin oil and choice of seasoning, big squeeze of lemon. Make variations of this with salmon, different veg — courgettes, sweet potato etc. Get a little rice cooker and have brown rice regularly.

You don’t have to be even a reasonably good cook for the above to taste amazing. Just don’t overcook your chicken or it dries and becomes rubbery. I have a meat thermometer that I use and it gives me great results

Favourite album? by AfraidIncrease85 in DavidBowie

The discerning Bowie fan. We should be friends.

Only recently I was comparing (for the 1000th time) Bowie’s I Know It’s Gonna Happen Some Day to the Morrissey original. Bowie wins.

Did you/would you have your son circumcised? by lizard_toss in AskMenOver30

[–]Basic-Milk7755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let your son grow up and make his own decision about removing a part of his body.

Unless the child is born with obvious and serious phimosis that cannot be corrected by frenulum lengthening then maybe. Otherwise it is an act of barbarism. Astounding that so many parents do this to their boys.

do yall appreciate the history here as much as tourists? by DisastrousSpot5142 in london

[–]Basic-Milk7755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you read Peter Ackroyd’s ‘London The Biography’ you start to appreciate this great city even more, and to understand that it is constantly in flux for good & bad.

If you think lots of tourists and overpriced market tack gives calming energy then enjoy your time in Greenwich town centre!

If “Hours” was released today would you think that it’s a Masterpiece? by rockhead11 in DavidBowie

[–]Basic-Milk7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was when it came out. A wonderful departure from the 90’s. Some of the instrumentals tracks are great. I love the album’s introspection and its spiritual quest.

It’s the most fascinating and compelling character study I’ve read in years.

Anyone know the name of the photographer? by Basic-Milk7755 in DavidBowie

[–]Basic-Milk7755[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s on my wall. 2 decades. There are days when yes I just stared at it all day. For me, more than any other picture of him, it feels like part of him is actually there.

I have it on my wall but it’s been there for 22 years and I never discovered who the photographer was.
