NFLD’er on PEI. Canon and Fuji shooter. Habs nut. Maybe just overall nut.
Side quest!
Took a break from David Bowie to listen to the New York Dolls’ debut album. Had no idea what to expect.
I really liked it. “Pills” and “Jet Boy” were my faves.
I can see why they didn’t get much mainstream radio play, but they must have been wild in concert.

Walked into Starbucks for a quiet afternoon read. Packed. Not a free chair to be had. Within 90 seconds, three tables opened up.

Next up in my David Bowie retrospective - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars:
This might be the best album I’ve ever listened to. No exaggeration. Grabs hold with “Five Years” and doesn’t let go until the last note of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide”.
Go listen to it.

Really cranking now in my David Bowie retrospective. Read about and listened to “Hunky Dory” today. Significant jump in production quality & listenability. Will definitely go back and listen to this one again.
“Changes” was the single that most would know. The rest were good, but not radio singlrs

So last night I asked ChatGPT - nothing!
I read a section in the David Bowie biography, listened to the album that matched the section, and had a lovely conversation about it with my wife.
Cranky, old, tech-hating me is going to be a fun time!

Winter diversion:
Reading a biography of David Bowie and listening to his albums along with the passage of time in the book.
That first album was quite something. Amazing how much 20 year old Bowie sounds like mid-career Bowie.

From listening to @alancross.bsky.social podcasts, David Bowie cut a pretty wide path through the world of music since the ‘60s. Seriously, he shows up everywhere! Time for some heavy reading.
Seriously, he died January 10, 2016. Wouldn’t be a stretch to say the world has fallen apart since.

I sold something on eBay this weekend to a guy in the USA. List price was $149 plus shipping. I pocketed about $127 after eBay fees. The buyer paid $244, after sales tax, shipping and tariffs.
This is nuts.

Everybody has their own signs of winter. For us, it’s the day we disconnect the hose and start pouring water into buckets to refill Jayne’s heated water bucket.
