try not to let the loss of your generation's living legends calcify your tastes. instead of enshrining them, release them and look for more.

RIP David Bowie

Like many, I am surprised and saddened to hear about the passing of David Bowie. While I've never been an obsessive fan I do have several experiences that tie directly to his creations and his influences that will forever stick with me. I think that's the most strikingly impressive portion of his life, just how many people it reached.

Personally, I remember a time staying in San Francisco for an extended stay and familiarized myself with the Trent Reznor or inspiring Flight of the Conchords or including Klaus Nomi in performances or being a GoblinKing weirdo, there's an endless list of goodness to attribute to him that's not even his music.

His reach was far and wide and I thank him for it.

Life on Mars - his most known look, if you didn't know.
I'm Afraid of Americans - this song was, really, my first encounter with Bowie. Probably not considered his best work by most hardcore fans but I always really appreciated it.
Flight of the Conchords: Bowie - Jemaine Clement's Bowie always struck me as heartfelt and perfectly hilarious.
Bowie SNL - one of the background singers is Klaus Nomi, further evidence that Bowie always had his finger on the pulse of weirdos.
Bowie on Extras - "pathetic little fat man." Amazing.
Rick and Morty "Moonmen" - another, slightly lesser known, appearance of Jemaine Clement impersonating Bowie.
Peter Schiling - Major Tom (Coming Home) - I assume this song is actually mistaken for Bowie on occasion.
Bowie Best Of - Disc 1 - just in case you needed a homebase for your Bowie needs, this seems like as good of a place to start as any.

If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.

Shackleton Photo Discovery

posted January 11, 2016 #

Many years ago I posted about the Sir Ernest Shackleton 'Endurance' journey to Antartica. The early 1900's voyage yielded some beautiful color photos. Beyond being a wonderful glimpse at such a time and place, they're also some of the first color photos, period.

The 'Endurance' got trapped in ice and sank, losing many of the 550 photo plates that were taken. However, some were recently recovered. They're black and white and pretty damaged but it's unbelievable that they've survived for 100 years frozen in the cold.

The Edit: Vinyl

posted January 11, 2016 #

Is anyone using The Edit for vinyl procurement? It's a new service that texts you a daily deal and, if you want it, you simply reply Yes to the text and they start the shipping process. It definitely seems like a more-than-decent way to buy records without much effort involved. That effort is actually a large part of the fun of owning records but I can certainly see the benefit.
