I am wildly curious to see which Duchamp pieces he owned. I also wonder if he had any German Expressionists in his collection, given Expressionism's influence on him preceding and during the Berlin period.

I'm shocked Alison Wright didn't get the nod. Her portrayal of Martha is one of the greatest performances I've seen in years.

I think part of it, too, is that popular culture is more fragmented now than what it was in the '70s-'80s-'90s, due to a combination of social media, countless TV channels (not to mention other options for watching media), and the fact that the rock era has now spanned more than half a century… there are still mass…

I feel you. I burst into tears driving into work just the other day while listening to the Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud/All the Young Dudes/Oh You Pretty Things medley from Ziggy Stardust the Motion Picture.

I hung out with Paul Weller in L.A. about 8 years ago, a tour during which his all-access pass was his own face with the Aladdin Sane lightning bolt across it. We had a couple of beers and talked about Bowie for an hour. I am pleased to report that the Modfather's favorite album of the beloved Leper Messiah's is Low.

Absolutely. The problem with his stand-up is that his constant self-preoccupation often drives him into narcissistic territory, which comes off more callous and cruel than anything else. And yet, the same self-preoccupation turns out to make him a really skilled, perceptive interviewer, and has allowed him to find a…

It would have been a good 4-part miniseries, I think, but there's no way the story could really sustain itself over a full season — it just doesn't have the narrative arc to it. The final episode was interesting, though.

I will see you millennials your Jareth-in-tight-pants and raise you Ziggy-in-a-jock that we Gen X'ers got to lose our collective mental virginity to when this was released in 1983… https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"There are no matching events in Greater Los Angeles Area." Assholes.

Hair are we, one magical moment, such is the stuff from where waxen nightmares are woven…

*wipes brow in relief*
As an aside, I recently discovered my original copy of Low, bought on cassette (along with the cassette of the Christiane F. soundtrack) for a dollar from the cut-out bin of a long-lost Sound Warehouse, c. 1983. Now, if only I could find my 8-track of Lodger, I would be all set.

Bowie's singles were fantastic, to be sure, but I'm not sure how that squares with the idea that his albums (at least the run from Hunky Dory to Scary Monsters) have "plenty of filler." There were only two singles off The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, for example (and only one of those — "Starman" — was even…

You need to hang on to Diamond Dogs and listen to it again.

"The things we do for love."

Or if Alan Rickman had played Cameron?

Buying the digital version only is also an option, for $15.

But that's my point — the house and most of the interior decoration looks like it comes from the late '80s or early '90s at the earliest. It absolutely does not look like a house that was built or decorated at any point in the 1960s or '70s (with the exception of some of the wallpaper, e.g., in Paige's room).

Does she explain how Kendra manages to have the deadest eyes of any creature outside Quint's speech in Jaws?

Yeah, the house drives me nuts, too — the layout seems really odd, and architecturally it looks to have been designed at least a decade later than the time frame of the show. (A lot of the interiors on the show don't look early '80s, either — way too much tasteful furniture and color schemes straight out of Pottery…
