Some absolute crackers on there. I had to make my compilations on a reel-to-reel in front of the radio. BTW, ‘Mondays’ gets all the attention but ‘Rat Trap’ is the absolute pinnacle of the Rats for me. It’s pure genius. Apparently Springsteen-like but I haven’t ever really explored his stuff.

Bowie fans, I have ported my Bowie lyrics/photos account from Twitter to here, if you like that kind of thing. I will add some other features over here that can't be done on Twitter.

Beans on toast.

Bowie performed ‘Ashes to Ashes’ at 99 out of 100 shows in 1983. Hammersmith Odeon was the only show to miss out (according to setlistfm). Bit weird.

I’m sure you know but it’s not a normal thing for men to do. It’s absolutely wrong to talk to a partner about other women in those terms, whether you know them or not.

I’m sure you had another guy that did this some time back too.

I’m getting Mary, Mungo and Midge vibes, which are the best vibes to get … I bet you loved arriving there and travelling up in the lift (assuming you weren’t ground floor!)

This is a big shame. I haven’t posted on here but I’ve watched from afar. I thought you’d found it this time.

Hope I didn’t do the wrong thing here. I take your point completely, obviously.

@davidsylvian.bsky.social hi David. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this but I wonder if you’ve ever heard this. I really like it. A reimagining. youtu.be/pe7QmbMH1qI

Very sad news. His contributions on your own records were wonderful. Instantly recognisable. Every now and then I would focus on Danny’s contribution on its own just to marvel at it again.

@manmademoon.bsky.social hi Duncan. Didn’t realise you’d skipped twitland entirely! Just popped in to say happy birthday. I hope you get to have a cool day.

Bah! Shame but I bet you’ve heard some great stuff. In your book it appears from comments that his soundtrack wasn’t quite up to scratch, but how amazing would it be to hear it. Considering how wonderful Low is.

@nicholaspegg.bsky.social hi Nicholas (if you’re still here). I’m taking yet another turn through ‘The Complete’ and it seemed to me you may well have heard some of David’s proposed TMWFTE soundtrack. Is that the case? If so, do you have any other thoughts on it? Cheers.

Beautiful, David, thank you so much.

Brilliant, thank you.

@sathnam.bsky.social hi Sathnam. Sorry for the random Q but I wonder if you know of a good book on ‘modern India’? Not necessarily a history but something that gives an idea of where India is now and where it’s heading? No worries if you’ve no time for this.

Leave me alone.

Nah, I’m good. Bye.

You realise it’s automated and it’s bluesky that adds that?

I might be able to solve it easily. I just haven’t checked yet. I wasn’t expecting them to put that message there.

Bluesky is adding it. There is probably a way of adding an ‘alt’ when I upload the image but I’ve not checked. I can’t do alts for this unless I just repeat the caption which isn’t very helpful.

Survivors too. It had just got good when they cancelled it. They justified it by spending big on the risible ‘Outcasts’ which they then cancelled after one series.

Sincere apologies if you saw a message saying ‘Test’ and a picture of Donkey Kong (1981) earlier. I was testing the API. I will not be posting to this account through the API, however.

I’m still in my trial period I think so no codes for me.
