I feel like I'm the only person who unabashedly loves everything Bowie's ever made, and I'm okay with that. I have zero complaints about anything, and I'm currently completely obsessed with Blackstar. I can't stop listening to it.

New video released! There's a theme going, I wonder if there's going to be a storyline in video form? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8

No. I can't deal with this right now. I just can't.

I seriously can't stop crying. He's been such a major part of my life since I was born back in 81. It's going to be difficult getting through this. Nothing has been as consistent and influential. I really feel like I've lost a family member.

Antti posted:I like to think he hung on to get the album out, then let people listen to it and review it and go "Man, the lyrics are really weird, I have no idea how to read this album" and then he passes on and lightbulbs go off everywhere. Of course! It's because he was dying! Yeah, the whole context of it has completely changed. I mean, there was speculation he has really sick and that's why he wasn't doing any press or appearances, but I didn't want it to be real.

Awful Sandwich posted:The music videos are killing me over here. SEE an old man, in the top attic in the highest tower, recognizing that his time is over, that it's the natural way for one to pass and other to rise up. Then there's the gem-encrusted skull of Major Tom, being passed like a mantle to a new generation of young people. gently caress gently caress gently caress. Everytime I watched it I was thinking "man, there's a lot here of morbid imagery and references to his past, and he looks like my grandma did when she had cancer" but I was in denial. Complete denial. I was in no way ready to accept he could actually die. When I saw the post by the official page on Facebook, it was within minutes and the rest of the internet said nothing so I was certain it was a hoax and the page was hacked.

The more I watch Lazarus, the sadder it gets. The woman from Blackstar who appears before the cult and accepts the jeweled skull emerging from the wardrobe is obviously Death, coming to claim him. But he's not ready yet, and gets up to write one last album. But she's always there, waiting. His legacy is the jeweled skull, now sitting on his desk. He eventually succumbs and retreats into the wardrobe, accepting death. It's brilliant. Utterly depressing, but brilliant. At least, that's my interpretation of it.

Earwicker posted:That's my interpretation too but I don't see it as depressing, nor do I really see Bowie's death as depressing. Death is something that has to happen at some point, and the fact that he was able to live long enough to have this incredible career and have an enormous impact on the arts, and then to die just after releasing one of his best works in decades, shortly after a period of reflection back on his career, and turning that process of death, consciously, into art as well.. IMO that's about as close to an ideal scenario one can get. I haven't reached the acceptance stage yet

All y'all can hate Never Let Me Down all you want, but I had a supremely lovely childhood and one of the only positive memories I have from that time in my life is that album, especially Shining Star. That song holds a really special place in my heart and no one can say anything that will make me dislike it.

I finally watched the Gaga 'tribute', after watching Lorde's, and even though I do admit to liking quite a few of her songs, I really didn't enjoy it at all. It felt like a farce.

Black Tie White Noise is very jazzy but much more upbeat. Outside was dark yet very 90s. You could always give the Berlin trio (Low, Heroes, Lodger) a try as well, they're famously experimental. But yeah, Blackstar instantly drew me in because of how different it was. Not just as a departure from his own body of work, but in relation to everything else. It's stand-alone genius.

One song that's really been standing out to me lately is 'Somebody Up There Likes Me'. The last two minutes are fantastic. It's nice when songs just seem to refresh themselves like that.
