I've never been all that into Bowie, but Hunky Dory is such a winner it's painful to ignore for too long.

That's what I'm listening to righ now. Though, come to think of it, "Queen Bitch" is getting many repeats -- like whenever I listen to Lust for Life and "That Passenger" comes on -- so maybe that's all I'm listening to right now.

Btw, in the new Chris Marker DVD on Criterion (which I heartily recommned) there's a snippet amogn the extras from a french tv show doign a story on a then-recent David Bowie video based on La Jetee. The funny thing is, at one point in their summation of Bowie's reference toward the film they go so far as to say, with a straighface, that Bowie was literally a tiem traveler from the future and that that's why he was always arguably "ahead of his time," and a success for so many years. Had it not been such a hoot I would've punched my laptop. Pretensious French stuff is funny, that's how deep my Francophilia* runs.

I'm actually French, among other thigns, so I can't legitimately be considered a Francophile. Still, one can dream...

Joni Mitchell - Sire Of Sorrow (Job's Sad Song)

I only heard this song for the first time the other day and it is haunting my thoughts. This is the version from the Travelogue album, with the Welsh male voice choir on it.

Wolves in the Throne Room "Diadem of 12 stars" Fucking amazing epic black metal from Olympia, Washington.

I just discovered those guys myself. Brutal stuff.

I found a copy of 'The Dark Ages' EP by Bedhead in Oxfam today, so that's what I'm currently listening to. It's great.
I also bought the second 2 Live Crew album and 'The Luke Album' by Luke Campbell. I shall listen to these while undercoating the spare room.

Dan Hicks, How Can I Miss You (When You Won't Go Away)

Sly and the Family Stone: Fresh.

How is it I never heard this record until 2007? I must be a dumbass.

Upon your recommendation, I have downloaded this record.
Track one is a minute in and I am happy to have downloaded this.
Thank you sir.

They're OK, I guess.

That is a criminally under-rated album.
Currently listening to Over The Edge by the Wipers and Willy and The Poor Boys by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Simultaneously on two record players.
It's confusing as fuck.
