Bringing Home the Freshest Kill
The back-flip over the police car at the 3:54 mark is One of Life’s Greatest Things.
I posit that “Strangers When We Meet” is a pretty great and under-appreciated David Bowie song, particularly the version that appears on his album Outside.
Have a listen, by god.
All my friends
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffe
I’m with you
So I can’t go on
———
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheet
I’m bewildered/resentful
For we’re strangers when we meet
———
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I’m over you
Blended sunrise
And it’s a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes
———
Cold tired fingers
Tapping out your memories
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
Was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu
———
Steely resolve
Is falling from me
My poor soul
All bruised passivity
All your regrets
Ride roughshod over me
I’m so glad
That we’re strangers when we meet
I’m so thankful
That we’re strangers when we meet
I’m in clover
For we’re strangers when we meet
Heel head over
And we’re strangers when we meet
I’m growing a beard for 2013. I hope it goes well.
2012 was a nice year. One thing I really liked about it was the contribution of guest-bloggers to this site.
All 2012 guest-bloggers are depicted below. Please give them a round of enthusiastic applause because they are awesome people who do the Really Good Thing and rule.
In fact, I like them so much that I invite ’em to blog here permanently and at their leisure, if they so desire.
Thanks much, guys…
