Bro you can't just tease us with your whole personal theory of paganism like that. I loved this episode, thank you for the reading recs. I'm terribly depressed now but like always it's in a good way that has me thinking about things. I'm going to listen to this again, and probably again to understand it more.

Saturdays are when the big weekly order comes in at my job at the racism factory, usually the only day of the week I can get away with having an earbud in while I put it away, usually only an hour or two after you post it at the fucking witching hour. So, thank you for releasing content for my schedule, specifically. Love u bro

Adam

This was a banger and the well felt very deep, I will have to return and drink again. I love that you used talking about Bowie as a way to detour into the Iconosphere and it blew my mind a bit, this was information I could have used decades ago. It’s not just straight men by the way

Patrick White

There’s a part where you mention that in order for these celebrities to relate or to feel like one of us they have to vamporize our lives is so fire. It sadly reminds me of how I feel Kanye has started shift his work. Now he just mood boards homeless people with Demna and tried to make it “relatable” . Great episode

This week's D/C calling to mind a lot of recent and not so recent of my listening and reading, namely Bolaño's 2666 and this week's TrueAnon. But also Thomas Ligotti, for whom "stars" (not celebs but actual ones, in the firmament, but also, crucially, something more sinister) shows up in several of his stories.

I needed this today. Thank you 🙏

Hector Zorrilla

I just recently finished listening to all 26 albums by bowie in the last 4 months and this was just a great treat to finish such a awesome journey. Thank you brother

Charles Muller

I stopped to watch the Valentine's Day video and nearly wept, not only from the song but with the loss brought back.

Joseph Sullivan

For the feeling of people excluded from the iconosphere, John Dolan wrote a poem about the guy who shot John Lennon praising him as a hero. Dolan’s confessional writing and poetry is obsessed with his resentment against the American iconosphere, ranging from hippie girls rejecting him all the way up to John Lennon. I think hes really underrated.

John Waaben

I really can’t shake the idea of Captain Ahab being wholly representative of this compulsive human idea of desiring to be separate from nature and wanting to destroy it and replace it with yourself. All the New God’s Funeral eps plus this just keeps making it crystallize in my mind. Another brilliant ep to listen to while commuting through the built environment of SoCal.

Valentine’s Day/Waterloo sunset connection blew my mind. Never would have noticed that but now I can never unhear it

Byron’s Glowing Filament

Listening to this episode the same day we get warned about a shooting threat at the school I teach at is… something. Great ep. I love this album so much. I’ve been listening to everything Bowie has written (only Hours, Heathen, and Reality left) in absurd depth. The man was an absolute fucking genius. You turned me into him with the Blackstar episodes a long time ago and I’m finally sold on all he’s ever done (maybe except Never Let Me Down…) I also just watched the Valentine’s Day video and thought his choice of guitar was awkward but holy shit by the end, I see why. Haunting. His expressions are just perfect. Thanks again. Edit: side note, but basically another thing I should thank you for. I’m teaching Honors Humanities (AKA honors senior English) next year. Only teacher in the district who has it so I can do what I want. Your episode a while back on not wanting to give into the system on what they want you to teach inspired me. So I’m saying “fuck it” and I’m getting Lot 49 approved for the curriculum and going all out for Q4.

The lyrics referenced in "Heros" is actually: "We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay But we could be *safer*, just for one day"

Justin Hastings

Suddenly, the transition from “Heroes” to “Sons of the Silent Age” doesn’t seem as odd. In fact it makes a lot of sense now

David Lee

In these hectic times I'm not much of an album listener, but just a few days ago I listened all the way through the Digable Planets album Blowout Comb. While listening I felt very fortunate to have lived long enough to listen again. I understand so many more of the references now! It's also just an amazing album. It's unreal how smooth and yet hard hitting the instrumentals are.

Lukas McCutcheon

Saw KMFDM last night and they played “Son of A Gun” (personal highlight for me) and I said “yo shouts out Littleton, CO” to a couple people I went with a no one got it I think.

John Schietinger

Great great episode as usual. Picking up from your analysis of The Next Day, Where Are We Now has a similar strand of grim resignation to nothing changing from an ongoing nightmare, further amplified by Bowie’s tired, achingly sad delivery. The repetition of “Where are we now” followed by the “…you know” illustrates this and then you’re left with his inability to finish or close out his fragmented reflections “as long as you…”. It’s a tragic, devastating song, and this episode has me hearing it a bit differently now. By the way, long live album listening on headphones and doing nothing else.

Sage

I've taken the lines in the The Next Day "here I am / not quite dying / my body left to rot in a hollow tree" to be a reference to the tightrope walker in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Always feels like that is a key piece in Bowie's concept of the rockstar. Then of course the lamentation leads right into The Stars (Are Out Tonight).

Paulio Himmelmensch

So, it turns out there is a fair bit of Bowie's discography that I haven't heard. Maybe some sort of ranking is in order? The only Bowie record I've heard that wasn't, like, "one of the greats" (so to speak) was Tonight and that was on a road trip and we had two tapes for an 8-hour drive: Bowie's Tonight and Prince's Around the World in a Day. The latter got more play so Tonight has sort of faded in my memory. I thought I was really on top of this. I am ashamed. I guess I listened to those shallow critics you spoke of.

Would love to hear more thoughts on Hugh Kinner

Foucault also uses the figure of the spiral for history. The dead city reference tastes a lot like Borges.

Kamran Husain

if you do the jimmy page ep bring on brace

Jaime Christley

MSJ I've just learned of a 2002 Pynchon doc called THOMAS PYNCHON: A JOURNEY INTO THE MIND OF P. I've not watched myself it and thus have no idea if it's great or a piece of shit or somewhere inbetween. Was wondering if you know if it & have a take or, if not, if you're interested in, as rhyming slang puts it, having a butcher's. If so reach out.

Escheloned Confusions

If you're doing more song episodes, I'd love to hear your analysis of the song "Where Your Eyes Don't Go" by They Might Be Giants

How do you feel about Michael C Hall’s performances of various Bowie songs?
