Bowie

Health, MP3s

In which there are season-inappropriate MP3s.

I saw the chiropractor this morning — I fucking love that guy — and I swear I’m two inches taller now! I really needed to get cracked; you shoulda heard the noises my neck made.

Diamond Dogs [ECD]Today, I’m geeking on Bowie’s sexy, moody suite Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise) from his 1974 LP Diamond Dogs. I have no idea why I’ve fixated on this; it’s not exactly what you’d call springy music. In fact, I’m not sure anything could be less renewal-regrowth-hope-spring than this, this oh-so wonderfully exhasted and jaded lyric:

If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
’cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing
cheap thing

Or this:

I guess we could cruise down one more time
With you by my side, it should be fine
We’ll buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump in the river holding hands

Whew! I really need to buy Diamond Dogs again someday. It’s been remastered and re-released and everything.

  1. Used to have the cassette “Diamond Dogs”. I can’t remember if I completely wore this one out or the tape player in my raggedy Ford Ranger ate it.

    Since it is completely remastered, that would certainly be worth purchasing again.

  3. Typically, I don’t buy into the remasted, remixed, and re-released scam. However… I have a couple old Yes cds that sound terrible. They’re not scratched or anything; they’re just poorly produced. Every now and then I think about replacing them. And, the day I saw Conan the Barbarian re-released with special features and remixed in Dolby Digital… I almost bought it. My Conan DVD is so old that it’s mixed in stereo only.
