Most weird is that this strange album ends with one of his most conventional songs in years, Strangers When We Meet, such an overlooked single that could be jostling higher up the table of Bowie songs with a different context

Look at this excellent duck. Ask a child to draw a duck, and this is what you'd get. Quintessential duck. What this non-native duck is doing in Snaresbook park is another question #birb

Very glad to hear, still on my list - her presence at Green Man in 22 was so infectious, and her back catalogue is littered with such beautiful songs

I was in an indie 80s Music League league and this was a real highlight for me! So many little bands like this who I'd not have heard otherwise
