If you watch the Man Who Fell to Earth DVD extras right before you go to bed, you’ll have crazy dreams.

I tried listening to Station to Station on the way to work today. I kind of like the first song. I’m really trying to force myself to like the album, to find some intriguing aspect that will draw me in. It’s not really working so far. I don’t understand why Bowie started singing in that annoying low voice from ~1975 onwards. It sounds cheesy and affected and boring.

I should try Low, Heroes, and Lodger, I guess, but for now I’m going back to Ziggy Stardust before I get annoyed and burned out on trying to like something that I instinctively recoil from.

I did decide that I officially like The Man Who Fell to Earth, though. I’m going to buy the Criterion DVD since it has a commentary by Bowie and the director Nick Roeg which isn’t on the version I got from Netflix. Just… need to save up money first.

I also want to buy a frame for that Life on Mars MOMA poster–turns out it’ll cost $150 to decently frame a $10 poster. It needs a custom frame because it’s huge, and I want non-glare plastic or glass or whatever. I mean, I could just tack it to the wall, but it’s so pretty and I want it to last without getting torn up and dirty. So for now it’ll sit in a poster tube while I save up cash. Grrrr.

Current Mood: tired
