From what I've heard, it reminds me of Outside, which is probably my favorite Bowie album (not a popular stance, I realise)

The reports are that he was fighting cancer for the past 18 months. So I suppose the notion that this was going to be his last album may have been in the forefront of his mind throughout the making of this album.

Aladdin Sane is my fav Bowie LP, and I mean LP! The first RCA cd re-issue of it had the worst audio quality. I always recall that disc as one (of many) that made me realize that records were much better than CD's!

Mrs. Parq couldn't sleep, and when she came to bed, she told me the news. Now I can't sleep. Impossible to synthesize all that's on my mind into a few choice words. So glad to be able to count on FMU to be playing just what I want to hear.

thanks for playing "pin-ups" too... one of his best!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:46am
joeray:

I'm probably close to your age, Mark R. but my experience was different. in the mid-seventies. I was in a band with my cousin- a guitarist who was so steeped in Bowie and the "glam" scene that I had to join in with eye make up and snarled pigtailed hair - a style I got from Zappa on the cover of "We're Only in it for the Money"!
Avatar ♥ 4:46am
pacific standard simon:

This album introduced me to some awesome 60s songs that I was too young to catch the first time around. When I was old enough to round up the originals, I found that many of the covers stood up very well against their parents.

brendanswfmuaccount:

I listened to Station to Station tonight while doing some work before bed. Turned on FMU as Therese was playing a track fro Low and the new record. I woke up to hear Mark announce Bowie's death on his first mic break. Haven't been able to sleep since. RIP :(

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I was a little brother - my Big Brother nine years older than me - & into Rawk & Glam even in smalltown NewHampshire. So - more often than not - the music would come half-clear from the other room - thru walls & under doors. Things like Bowie in the early 1970s & my pre-teenage years, then, were powerful & mysterious indeed. Then came self-made cassettes (later taping everybody's albums they had: Bowie was an Artist whose oeuvre was large & diverse & impactful enuff, it was worth long pursuit) & eventually LPs - then occasional films & finally CDs. He was always there. Just read a tribute someone said Thx for being an Artist til the end. Damn.

I love that version of "shapes of things" with the heavy Anthony Newley vocal stylizations....
  5:08am

I'll never forgive my mother for forbidding me from seeing Bowie during his 1974 Diamond Dogs tour (well, I forgive her, but you know what I mean). I'd loved his music since 1972, and had read about him in Creem, so I was dying to see him live. A few of my jr. high girlfriends had an extra ticket and invited me. Alas, it was not to be...

It wasn't until the 90s til we'd be glutted by Tribute albums as a standard Genre...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:14am
coelacanth:

Bowie never hesitated to say that it was all marketing. he wasn't pretending it was real, he was just playing and experimenting. i always respected him for that- even during those phases when i hated his image.
  5:15am
:-(:

Yeah, his touring schedule was insane, so that's a good thought that he chose to do covers instead of writing more songs. But Pin Ups was so creative for the time....it sort of presaged John Lennon's Rock n Roll LP.

I'm very glad WFMU and the listener community exists right now, as it feels like exactly the right way to mourn the passing of a great, and celebrate his music. Can't really face "Social Media" right now with an endless stream of identical "RIP David Bowie" status updates... Thanks Mark R!
