Quicksand from Hunky Dory, I can't stop listening.
Don't believe in yourself.
Don't deceive with belief.
Knowledge comes with death's release.
Ahhh ahhh ahh ah.

HA!
"Slash revealed that his mother had an affair with David Bowie in an interview with Australian radio station Triple M, recalling that he once discovered them naked when he was a little kid. "My mom started working professionally with David Bowie at first," said Slash, whose mom was a costume designer. "I'm pretty sure that's how it started and then it turned into some sort of mysterious romance that went on for a while after that."
The guitarist remembers seeing a lot of Bowie at the time – quite literally, on one occasion. "I caught them naked once," Slash said. "They had a lot of stuff going on, but my perspective at eight was limited. Looking back on it I knew exactly what was going on."
Despite the potentially awkward encounter, Slash remembers Bowie fondly. "He was cool," the rocker said. "I liked David a lot."

Funny that no one got all emotional when he released the album last week.

“I received an email from him seven days ago. It was funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: ‘Thank you for our good times, Brian. they will never rot.’ And it was signed ‘Dawn’.
“I realise now he was saying goodbye.”
(Brian Eno)

- lol, Austin such a boring little city that tries super hard to be cool...robotron3k
- lol. I'd pick Austin over most cities in the USdbloc
- Say what you will about Austin, but after 41 years in NYC I'm glad I moved. The weather is better, the ppl are friendlier, and there's a great music scene.GM278
- It really depends on what you're attitude is and whether you're willing to get the most out of wherever you live.GM278
- agreed. any place can be boring if you let it.dbloc

So Bowie shared a his birthday with Elvis. In 1960, Elvis released a song called Black Star, same as Bowies latest album released 2 days before he died..
Lyrics
Every man has a black star
A black star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his black star
He knows his time, his time has come
Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true, black star
When I ride I feel that black star
That black star over my shoulder
So I ride in front of that black star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around
Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true, black star

This BBC doc was on Aus TV last night, worth seeking out wherever you may be. From a couple of years ago. Really good.
