strictly a singles artist.

i do admire his work with ddb's boss.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

David Bowie is the worst.
Bowie maniacs are even worse.
Over three decades of crap and still the sewer pipe lets it flow.

MY BOSS IS A DICK.

― SAD FACE x 1,000,000,000 (ddb), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

or i should say:

We think David Bowie is the worst, etc.

― jack cole (jackcole), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm sure he's a dick, ddb, but i loooooooove "let's dance" and "modern love" and "china girl" for some dumb reason.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I LIKE DAVE.

that book has to be awesome for funny bowie on jagger anecdotes.

i like some other assorted songs from his career but a lot of 'em stink stink stink.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

actually now that i think of it, the jagger/bowie version of "dancing in the streets" might be the worst recording in the history of music.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Gear!, are you still on aim?

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i like some bowie, but sort of feel like he's ridden out the last 15-20 on pure shit. or rather, as a bishop of beautiful people more than a musician. a trend rider who forgot how to pedal.

I have AIM, but not at this moment! I'm "working"

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

actually now that i think of it, the jagger/bowie version of "dancing in the streets" might be the worst recording in the history of music.

SO OTM

that said, I LOVE BOWIE. almost everything he did in the late 60s through the 70s (including the production of Reed & Pop) is tré classic.

but i haven't read a single one of those threads on ILM except the Just what is David Bowie doing on the "Heroes" LP cover?

No question now, what had happened to the faces of the noise dudes. The creatures outside looked from noise dude to ILMer, and from ILMer to noise dude, and from noise dude to ILMer again; but already it was impossible to say which was which

I think you might find it here on black country rock

I count the corpses on my left, I find I’m not so tidy
So I better get away, better make it today
I’ve cut twenty-three down since friday
But I can’t control it, my face is drawn
My instinct still emotes it

I slash them cold, I kill them dead
I broke the gooks, I cracked their heads
I’ll bomb them out from under the beds
But now I’ve got the running gun blues

It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
Left generals squashed and stifled
But I’ll slip out again tonight
Cause they haven’t taken back my rifle
For I promote oblivion
And I’ll plug a few civilians

I’ll slash them cold, I’ll kill them dead
I’ll break them gooks, I’ll crack their heads
I’ll slice them till they’re running red
But now I’ve got the running gun blues

(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)
(oh oh oh oh)

No, really. The Man Who Sold the World has the most ridiculous lyrics of any record ever, especially on this song, which sounds a bit like Syd Barrett jamming with Led Zeppelin for 8 minutes:

The Width Of A Circle

In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping
By a tree
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me

Well, I said hello and I said hello
And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "I don't know"
So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be
And he laughed insane and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"
And I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
For I realized that God's a young man too

Oh I said "So long" and I waved "Bye-bye"
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
Got laid by a young bordello
Who was vaguely half asleep
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
And the moral of this magic spell
Negotiates my hide
When God did take my logic for a ride
(Riding along)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh

He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again"
(Turn around, go back!)

He struck the ground a cavern appeared
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
We crashed a thousand yards below
I said "Do it again, do it again"
(Turn around, go back!)

His nebulous body swayed above
His tongue swollen with devil's love
The snake and I, a venom high
I said "Do it again, do it again"
(Turn around, go back!)

Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply
And I was seething, breathing deeply
Spitting sentry, horned and tailed
Waiting for you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 20 May 2005 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

She Shook Me Cold

We met upon a hill, the night was cool and still
She sucked my dormant will
Mother, she blew my brain, I will go back again
My god, she shook my cold

I had no time to spare, I grabbed her golden hair
And threw her to the ground
Father, she caved my head, oh lord, the things she said
My god, she should be told

I was very smart, broke the gentle hearts
Of many young virgins
I was quick on the ball, left them so lonely
They’d just give up trying
Then she took my head, smashed it up
Kept my young blood rising
Crushed me mercilessly, kept me going around
So she don’t know I crave her so-o-o
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

I’ll give my love in vain, to reach that peak again
We met upon a hill
Mother, she blew my brain, I will go back again
My god, she shook me cold
