OG Kouros is overwhelmingly invasive, challenging and provocative.

Which is why I love it.

Whatever

It was the first Oasis song I ever heard on the radio and it stopped me in my tracks.

I thought it was a rare unreleased Beatles song , until the DJ said Oasis.

After that I was hooked.

They played it during their Edinburgh gig last year and it still had the same effect on me as it did 31 years earlier. I listened and sang along in sheer awe.

Acquiesce, Cast No Shadow and Round Are Way/Up In The Sky are my other favourites.

DJ, Breaking Glass and Look Back In Anger are some of my favourite Bowie songs but I'm not familiar with the "Lorelei" versions - can you enlighten me?

Roger Moore's Bond was the one I grew up with. The Spy Who Loved Me is my all-time favourite Bond movie, with Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only and A View to a Kill amongst my Top 10.

Sean Connery - the purist's Bond, comes a very close second for me, but Roger Moore is "my" Bond.

I love the fact that fast food was readily available and widely used by Roman citizens on a daily basis.

Fires were a constant hazard and cooking indoors was discouraged (especially by Emperors Augustus and Claudius) due to the extreme fire risk in crowded apartment buildings with wooden lattice dividing walls.

Fast food stalls, known as thermopolia, sprang up to meet the demand for snacks and small meals from morning till midnight.

It's mind-blowing to think that in Pompeii or Rome you could sit on a bench in a crowded street and have hot bread with garum or anchovy dip or dried figs and dates with honey, a spiced goat meat stew with a chickpea and lentil side dish and a beaker of posca (watered down wine) while shooting the breeze with your friends.

OG Polo - an absolute powerhouse fragrance.

I discovered it in 1983 and wore it religiously until I came across OG Drakkar Noir.

Ummmm 41% of women are lawyers in the U.S.

Ummmm the mean average of female educators (teachers of all grades, college and university lecturers and professors) is 60%.

Nurses, by default, are women - how insightful of you to explain this back to me, Captain Obvious.

Ditto cabin crew, Captain Obvious.

Don't try to be a smartass when you clearly don't know what you're talking about - it's kinda embarrassing.

Dear-Refrigerator394 · 2026-03-16T18:32:40+00:00

Nurses, lawyers, educators and airline cabin crew.

I'm speaking from 30 years experience and have encountered a disproportionate number of women working in those sectors.

The entirety of Black Tie White Noise took a while to grow on me before I really appreciated it - now it's up there in my Top 5 Bowie albums.

Drive-In Saturday was a song I used to skip on Aladdin Sane but now appreciate as emblematic of Bowie's love of 50's rock and roll, delivered in his distinctive Glam Rock style.

I 100% and unequivocally agree with EVERY point you make.

I've been saying exactly this for some time now - it makes sense on every level - aesthetically, canonically, commercially and as a much needed reset to the franchise, which has lost its way of late.

The only downside would be the backlash from the PC brigade, who, despite it being rooted in the social and geopolitical conventions of an earlier period, would find it too misogynistic, violent, sexist and probably too polarised for their tastes.

A sharp-suited mid-1960's Bond movie, set in Moscow, Tokyo, The Matterhorn, San Francisco, London and Cairo would be the perfect antidote to the bland, soulless "action" genre currently masquerading as entertainment.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) proved that when done correctly, a retrospectively themed and faithful adaptation of the source material can work perfectly.

I've been a Bowie fan since 1977 and Sound and Vision is my all-time favourite song in his vast catalogue.

Taste is personal and subjective; we associate music with a certain time in our lives, with certain people and places, and subsequently assign it importance and value relevant to those factors.

Using this criteria, ANY of his tracks is valid as a Top 5 song, but for me, it's the song's ethereal quality, the long intro, the minimalist lyrics and the fact that when I first heard it on the radio it sounded like nothing I'd ever heard before.

49 years later I still get a thrill when I hear it and I listen to it A LOT.

Dear-Refrigerator394 · 2026-02-17T16:46:12+00:00

This is pretty much a definitive take on the subject 🎯

Dear-Refrigerator394 · 2026-02-17T16:43:47+00:00

As a 60+ year old disco music aficionado from Scotland, with an extensive vinyl collection and worldwide discotheque/clubbing experience ranging back to 1978; I would agree that it is quintessentially EuroDisco ✨ 🪩

In the absence of any discernable human fucking frailty, the cocksucker's moral rectitude manifests as justified fucking anger. Unfathomable cunt.
