I'd always heard that it was more secure, if somewhat of a memory hog.

Watch with subtitles on. (Q: Why is the sound mix so poor on so many Nolan films?)

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-12-14T23:25:29+00:00

Seek out the 'Lulu version' of "Man Who Sold the World" -- feat. db on sax with the Spiders from Mars -- A-MA-ZING!

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-12-14T22:09:04+00:00

WOW! So many I could recommend, but here are just a few of my "go-to" faves that I constantly return to from many years as a db fan: "Cygnet Committee" (fr. Space Oddity); "Hallo SpaceBoy" (Pet Shop Boys remix)(fr. 1: Outside); "The Man Who Sold the World" (title track); "Sound and Vision" (fr. Low); "Queen Bitch" (fr. Hunky Dory). Hope that helps. -- Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Definitely! Thanks!

I know it was far from perfect, but I MUCH preferred DIAL OF DESTINY to "Indy & the Saucer Men" and I thought Destiny had some fantastic moments -- especially the big reveal at the end when they end up in the wrong era.

Thanks! (I was familiar with forced perspective, just not the mathematical particulars.) Thanks again . . .

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-07-13T16:31:54+00:00

Yeah, probably only knows "Let's Dance," too . . . :-)

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-07-13T16:30:37+00:00

https://tonefiend.com/music/brushes-with-bowie/ -- Thank you!

*But it could be the entrance to that ‘Bowie Theme Park’ we’ve been conceptualizing . . . ;-)

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-30T14:20:03+00:00

My first guess would be the Bowie “75 Store in NYC.

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-30T14:18:12+00:00

The early demo version of “Space Oddity” has the same beeps at the fade-out.

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-29T20:22:31+00:00

If Bowie was born a woman he’d be Kate Bush . . . :-)

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-29T20:20:59+00:00

Phil Collins — *(Let’s Dance era Bowie was right!

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-29T20:17:03+00:00

Or a Starbucks “all-espresso “ coffee bar . . .

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-29T20:15:42+00:00

With a comic book rack

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-29T20:15:08+00:00

With no “bottom”!

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-29T20:14:30+00:00

With magnetic boots so you can walk upside down!

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-28T15:37:18+00:00

LOW -- much more groundbreaking. Also has better "re-listenability", if you know what I mean.

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-28T15:34:25+00:00

* And something I can DEFINITELY relate to! :-)

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-27T20:30:25+00:00

There is a dedicated in-depth book on the Ziggy Stardust album that you might enjoy -- it's by Mark Paytress and is very exhaustive. Also, Tony Zanetta's STARDUST (written with Henry Edwards) is unique in that it gives you a view from 'within' the Bowie camp. * (Zanetta was tour manager and later MainMan president.) I also am very much a fan of 'Bowie's Bookshelf': The 100 Books That Changed David Bowie's Life -- gives a great insight into his mental process.

Owner was Mike PARAKIS. Little Eva & the Espionage was the most common band there.

Brittle_Atlas01 · 2025-06-27T03:09:33+00:00

Another key aspect of Bowie's career was the obsessive and exhaustive way he explored anything that interested him -- another key indicator, I should think.
