Everyone knows Bowie, but did you really?
I didnāt know enough, but over the last couple of months I decided to start listening to the man who inspired many if not all of the modern musical geniuses.
The music is beautiful:
Hunky Dory Album: incredible, makes me feel seen for my weirdness, and empowered to stand up to the man, while also loving myself more.
Lets Dance Album: Fun music to dance to, and the song Criminal World makes me think of my trans brothers & sisters who fight for their rights every day.
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) Album: first album I dove into after discovering the incredible song āAshes to Ashesā which was also recently covered by Magdalena Bay (whom I love) on Like a Version. This entire album is not only a major political statement if you really listen, but also reminds me that I am young and not defined by the mistakes Iāve made in the past, I just need to live in the moment and enjoy everything I can.
The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust Album: I mean come onā¦ this one is already know for being incredible, but just listen to it again in full.
āThereās a Starman waiting in the sky. Heād like to come and meet us, but he thinks heād blow our mindsā - David Bowie āStarmanā from āThe Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardustā
āThey got a message from the action man: āIām happy, hope youāre happy too. Iāve loved all Iāve needed, love. Sordid details followingā¦ āIāve never done good things, Iāve never done bad things, I never did anything out of the blue, Whoaā.ā - David Bowie āAshes to Ashesā from āScary Monsters (and Super Creeps)ā

Ironically Iād choose David Bowie to keep but this post reminded me of this tweet

Probably my fave Bowie album- or at least the one that helped me locate a personal resonance with Bowie. Itās jagged, fragmented and manic- written coming off of a nasty coke addiction in Berlin (the coke addiction is NOT where I found personal resonance btw). Where in the hell am I, seems to be the question.
Always Crashing In The Same Car might be the best Bowie song. The poetics of repeated mistakes.

Designed by a father so his kids could take photos on campingĀ trips without being distracted by phones. View-finder only, perfectly imperfect resolution. Digital, eventually. Old school look, feel and sound. Everyone smiles when they use it.

Iām a serial monogamist when it comes to t-shirts. Whichever oneĀ has made it out of hiding, it tends to be āthe oneā for seemingly ages until, for whatever Ā reason, it changes. And then, that one is āthe oneā. The current āoneā is an oldie: Keith Haring for Cotton On (Iconic Aussie brand). Pale pink, big and baggy. Note to self - donāt Ā ruin or lose.

Makes every hotel room feel more warm and inviting. Also, IāmĀ like a baby, I like a night light. Side note, I am definitely a frustrated lighting designer.
