Well, the physical copy, anyway, which is what I have.
...and have since scanned into my hard-drive, so it's a digital copy anyway.
Referenced/reviewed it before here and here.
My favorite song here.
Anyway, I'm sick of curating a list of past Meedya Morsels for every single post, so I'm gonna experiment with just linking back to the single last post.
So...

Heathen (2002) was a five star Bowie album...
I dunno why I never got it....
"Sunday," "I Would Be Your Slave," "5.15 The Angels Have Gone," "Slow Burn," "A Better Future" and "Heathen (The Rays)" all kick ass, from that album. I've met few Bowie fans who love that album as much as I do, though it was *generally* well received. I thought he sounded really cool doing those low bleary Scott Walker-type funereal vocals. He also covered a Pixies tune, "Cactus," and he tried to be a big booster for the Pixies during this time (y'know, a whole decade after they broke up!)
What's really weird about the Pixies is that they didn't really sell worth a shit in the US while they were together (1987-92), but they're now better remembered than The Breeders, the spinoff mostly-female band led by ex-bassist Kim Deal, which was weird because the Breeders' 1993 hit "Cannonball" was a far greater hit than ANYTHING the Pixies ever did, but then the Breeders didn't put out any other album for another 9 years!!! And in that time, it was the Pixies who ended up with the legacy ("Where Is My Mind" in "Fight Club," etc.) You remember "Cannonball" right?
Bowie also got a lot of respect for his final album, "Blackstar."
*Has to Google/Youtube "Cannonball"*
Oh! Yeah! That one!
Yeah, that's one of those songs everyone's heard, but not everyone knows the name of.
I didn't.
Guess I gotta check out Heathen...
Kim Deal formed the Breeders because Black Francis wrote nearly all the Pixies songs and only let her have one or two songs per album (the Pixies put out one EP and four albums.) So when "Cannonball" became a hit like one year after the Pixies broke up, she must have been laughing her ass off.
I don't know if you gave a shit for TOOL, the prog-metal band that Minion, *Legion* and I, and other prog-heads discussed all the time in the early 00s because of their albums "AEnima" (1996) and "Lateralus" (2001) but they only put out an album every so often and they just put out a new album "Fear Inoculum", their first in 13 years, and....uh, it's a really dull boring rehash of those two albums I just mentioned. Gezz, what a disappointment!
Tool is cool.
Haven't explored a lot of their stuff, but what I've heard, I like.
Didn't they dedicate one of their albums to Bill Hicks?
