Rec | I BELIEVE BOWIE IS MY SPIRIT GUIDE

👠

it could be im just really autistic, linking things and patterns faster than whoever, or entering my psychotic break era, but i was informed on this day in 1972 Bowie became Ziggy Stardust. I was praying to see some bowie imagery in times of mild tension and fear, and everytime the universe delivered. I was waiting for my brunch reservation, then saw a magazine with an image of a photoshoot i reference very often (the diamond dogs one pictured below) Which was shot by terry o neil, the only bowie picture book i own is one with never seen before images from the exact photographer. so these images have been great comfort to me. The later today i was sitting on the bus, i had to pee so so so bad. the bus was playing a 70s 80s 90s radio channel relatucely loud, and i prayed they would play a bowie song to keep me distracted for a couple more minutes.. BAMMM they played 'under pressure' !! What do you guys think?? am i going crazy??

LOW- DAVID BOWIE

Probably my fave Bowie album- or at least the one that helped me locate a personal resonance with Bowie. It’s 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.

MUSIC REC: ALL OF DAVID BOWIES MUSIC

Everyone knows Bowie, but did you really? I didn’t 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 “Ashes to Ashes” 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 I’ve 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 on… this one is already know for being incredible, but just listen to it again in full. “There’s a Starman waiting in the sky. He’d like to come and meet us, but he thinks he’d blow our minds” - David Bowie “Starman” from “The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust” “They got a message from the action man: ‘I’m happy, hope you’re happy too. I’ve loved all I’ve needed, love. Sordid details following… ‘I’ve never done good things, I’ve never done bad things, I never did anything out of the blue, Whoa’.” - David Bowie “Ashes to Ashes” from “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)”
