Is there irony in that Pete Burns died suddenly yesterday?

They out they GODDAMN minds, $160 for a goddamn headset? HAAAAIL, naw.

I loved this man's work. I hope he had a peaceful trip to nowhere special.

Lord, was I ever so young? That reference immediately took me back to bugging my mom to get some Heinz to see if it was true that it was that thick, and I'd sing the song, much to her irritation.

"Making Time" by The Creations will never not be from Rushmore. Wayne Newton's version of "Danke Schön" always reminds me of Ferris Bueller carrying on at the Pulaski Day parade (I'm form the rust belt Midwest, so yes, I remember what the parade was for).

I think Chuck Berry was the acceptable face of 50s black rock and roll for white people. So I'm not surprised that Klosterman, like many of the children of those white folks who listened to rock in the 50s, likes Berry. When I was a kid in the 70s, the black rocker from those days that my parents' generation liked was…

YES.

Oh, Lord, he better get an executive level health work-up!

That poor woman. I hope she gets the help she needs.

I read about this ish on The Guardian's site this morning, and the creator has no idea about this video - the son-in-law however, got his dander up after Pitchfork spoke to him, I guess, seeing that Radiohead is a world-famous rock band with simply oodles of cash to go after…

Lodger? Whee!

I felt better for having the musical tastes I had as a mixed-race kid in a poor neighborhood, where the other kids made fun of my love of R.E.M., Joni Mitchell, and (the more rock stuff by) David Bowie. I could hear Prince's influences. They were all over the place, and I realized I wasn't the only African-American…

::sigh:: I can't find anywhere else to put this, and I'm so sorry.

He did a BAFTA discussion about his career and (mostly about) The Night Manager last Monday evening that I got to attend. And, yes. He is just that smart and affable, and extremely well-spoken. Excellent extemporaneous speaker. Then again, I would expect no less from a man who got a double first at Oxford in Classics.

Jesus fucking Christ; seriously, 2016?! Barely spring, and I'm just totally over having the people whose fantastic work has touched my life and that I grew up on dropping like flies, or near as dammit, like Bernie Worrell. Stop! STOP!

Oh, for fuck's sake goddammit! Stop it, 2016! :(

I… I like Bizarre Love Triangle better than this song. :|

I love, love, love this man's work. Ugh. Love so much. I also appreciate that he's an actor and not a "celebrity". I look forward to seeing whatever he's doing next.

So many hot Bowies: The Thin White Duke, Screaming Lord Byron from Blue Jean, literally strung-out Major Tom from Ashes to Ashes…

I have never known of a time without Bowie in it, or that I didn't have an inkling of who he was. Then again, I am 46 years old. I'd heard so much of his music as a child, seen him on Soul Train, and the Midnight Special, even. I didn't tie any of the wondrous music I heard with the same man until I was 12, and got…
