Be My Wife or GTFO

Outside is incredible. I bought it on New Years Eve, 1999 too which seemed portentous given the 'story'/

I love you E Buzz but ranking The Next Day above Diamond Dogs is heresy.

@avclub-bc92e42632ffada4b747ec33b74edf6b:disqus Tony Visconti didn't produce a Bowie album between Scary Monsters and Heathen. The only album produced by Eno was Outside.

I mostly hate it because of the fact that it found Bowie repeating himself for the first time since Tonight with a naked rehash of Heathen with the rough edges smoothed off, despite the fact that barring the title track and the first song, Heathen was essentially Bowie-lite anyway. Though definitely not his worst…

Less 'wanted to be' and more 'both considered ourselves to be Mark and the other Jez'

Yeah I guess I did sell it pretty well.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus  that makes two of us.

Heathen is 50/50 but the good 50 (Sunday in particular, but also the title track and Slip Away) are amazing. Reality was pretty horrible. Hours had some great tracks but was kind of dull, also featured the word 'abracadoo' which I can't decide whether I love or hate.

Also awful.

@avclub-f16ba6f00bce15507c766cd5e8057728:disqus Yeah I saw them in Wellington in 09 (I think?) and it was fantastic and I say that as someone who hadn't really dug the album they were touring and hasn't enjoyed what they've released since.

So many favourite bits but I have to come back to the start of Trial of the Monarch where it's revealed that what we'd just been seeing was Hank and Dean's testimony yet Dean was actually on Hank's shoulders with them both shouting "Mecha-Shiva! Mecha-Shiva!". I had to stop the DVD the first time I saw that because I…

Na, he did that shitty song for the film with Jaime Foxx about the futuristic military plane that gained self-awareness. I never saw it but I did see the trailer and hear that crappy song.

I once watched 3/4 of that movie because I was channel surfing and Bowie was on this one.

I especially love it that they only do that when one is trying to guilt-trip the other into doing something they don't want to do.

I once had a 4 hour argument with an old friend in a playground in Osaka regarding who was Mark and who was Jez. Subsequently a survey of mutual friends confirmed I was definitely the Mark to his Jez. In a very Mark-like way, I was very satisfied with the consensus.

Captain Blicero?

Yeah I've taken to doing my washing at the laundromat and any other housework that needs doing on Friday nights so I can be a lazy fuck for the rest of the weekend and not feel guilty about it.

You could have at least said hello rather than just (rightfully) label me as a 'sad, Mark-like man'.

That list is getting lengthy…
