Flagged for Phishing.

With the obvious exception of Scary Monsters, Bowie's '80s albums all contain approximately 50% suckage. However, his '80s singles are mostly great, and his soundtrack work (which overlaps with the singles quite a bit) is superb.

And does he have fuller, more inviting lips, and a shapelier bosom?

A performance that he can never duplicate.

The Robyn Hitchcock thread is (points) thataway, my friend.

Don't let that scare you… let it free you!

Oh christ, the "hidden track" syndrome. The extra song is almost never worth hearing, the silence ruins shuffle- and multi-CD play, and it's a complete pain in the ass when you rip MP3s.

Is it true that Usul no longer needs the Weirding module?  Heard it from a friend of a friend.

The monologues in Storefront Hitchcock are so good that he could have had a second career as a stand-up comic if the music thing hadn't worked out.

Just last week I saw about 30 copies of the Storefront Hitchcock DVD in the $3 bin at Big Lots. I'm thinking of going back, buying them all, and mailing them to everyone I know, because it's fantastic.

Shooting a movie (of any length) vertically on an iPhone: Terrible idea? Or the terriblest idea?

Each new Hitchcock album is like getting a new chapter added to your favorite book: like new adventures with a familiar cast of characters.

Along those lines & from 1996-present… Well, one (perhaps cynical) answer would be "nothing," since he pretty much stepped away from heavy studio production after the A&M years. But don't listen to people who say that meant the end of Hitchcock's great pop songs.

Speaking of Government Cheese, The Rainmakers wrote a whole damn song about it which would be perfect for this list, if anyone knew who The Rainmakers were.

What a waste of breath it is,
Searching for the jobs that don't exist

I wanna hear "Caravan" with a fart solo.

Looks like she's been hitting the spice pretty hard.
