Is it stupid to call this AOTY? the whole death concept of it just makes it an absolute masterpiece imo
>>61677263
>the whole death concept
I'll bet you hate Death Grips though huh?
Tbh senpai I think it is. Death was the main concept off Carrie and Lowell which was an AOTY for me. Blackstar might not be traditional Bowie but goddammit senpai, it's Bowie through and through.
But the album itself doesn't sound that good desu
>tfw always heard about how great David Bowie was
>tfw never got around to listening to him
I SHOULD HAVE FOUND THE TIME
Same, this is the first time i listened to a musician just because they died
Hes really fucking good.

Who's worse?
Vinyl collectors? Or cassette collectors?
I collect 8 tracks.
Personality wise cassette collectors by far, normal people like vinyl while with cassettes if they're not old or musicians / hardcore appreciators themselves they're hipster tattooed faggots who probably like Andrew Jackson Jihad and follow vapor wave tumblr accounts
Also there's nothing wrong with vinyl or cassettes themselves
1985: Pinnacle
Did this motherfucker have the greatest death of all time? He pulled himself out of like 3 decades of musical irrelevance to make a legit great album about his own death, produces a bunch of creepy awesome music videos and then dies 2 days after it's released.
He dropped the mic on life.
>>61673703
yeah, talk about going out with a bang...
>>61673703
Definitely my favorite celebrity death in my lifetime. That shit was so awesome.

the next day came out in 2013 and topped the charts so no
but yes
I brought up David Bowie's death to my two friends today. My one friend said "literally who?", the other said "Yeah, my mom listened to him, didn't he do oldies?"
Are they plebs, or is Bowie irrelevant today?
Get better friends.
My facebook feed is full of normies sad about it so I don't think so op.
I just listend to Hunky Dory today. He's the guy who did CHC CH CHC CHANGES!
So in a sense, I've been a fan for a while.

Which of these fine young men should play Bowie in the inevitable biopic?
Bowie's family would never let a woman play him and Redmayne's lips disgust me so i'd go with Dane DeHaan
Fuck, I didn't even think of DeHaan. Good candidate.
Only a gender wraith should play another gender wraith.
>>61672521
But Tilda Swinton has already played David Bowie, and David Bowie has played Tilda Swinton.
Post your profile, discuss RYM, etc.

What did you think of Blackstar pre-mortem vs. post-mortem?
My opinion has not changed
https://rateyourmusic.com/~BurstingFlares
>>61672394
Are the Blackstar star ratings going to stay? I prefer them to the gold ones.
>>61672394
I need some time with it to find my true opinion
Right now I'm thinking 7, but it may fall

Hey friends
This will be a day we all remember. Like JFK's assassination, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 9/11, everyone over a certain age remembers exactly where they were when the news broke. It's something to pass on to future generations. How you experienced history is a part of history, and right now let's all share how we discovered of Bowie's passing, in calmness and respect.
>I saw a screencap of his Facebook page's announcement and when I refreshed the catalog it was overflowing with shitposts
I was at the pub with my family and girlfriend when the bartender announced it during the live act's break.
Then he did a bunch of covers of Bowie's stuff.
The best place I could have been, really.
I turned on the TV and started stroking when I saw his picture with a 1947-2016 under it

>Suddenly all the weird occult symbolism of Blackstar clicks in my head
>Listen to Diamond Dogs with teary eyes
daily reminder that 23 year old David Bowie took a 13 year old's virginity
that sucks
doesn't really change my opinion about his music tho

at 11:24 in the documentary, Lori Mattix talks about being with David Bowie.
at one point, the women who made the documentary brings up Lori Mattix being young at 10:39 and that she may have gotten “overwhelmed” by the scene, but Lori gets very defensive and says she felt much older. it’s clear Lori...
