Ziggy faces the void.

String sting. And it is over.

That song is just simply perfection.

I have to admit I was sat here screaming out the words to my empty bedroom!

I only hope my neighbours heard me. yes

Yes.

It is over.

It was OK but, as always, the level of affectation and artifice with Bowie made it difficult for me to get into.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

Hmm I was toying with a ★★★★ as it's a great album, but I don't need to hear half of it ever again, and it's not even as good as the album that preceded it. Or, even the album, hah, it's better than that.

But given Wendykins' mean score I'm going ★★★★★.

I made several pieces of artwork about one lyric in this song.

My mistake.

I made dozens of tentative sketches and copypasta collages for a ludicrously ambitious video pieces based on just the one verse.

Here's a spicy melange of the Spice Melange.
