Bowie Day 45 “Let Me Sleep Beside You” (1970) Track 10 of “The World of David Bowie”
Another previously unreleased song. Risqué lyrics for the time. One story has Bowie saying “I’m going to write some top ten rubbish” and writing this. Not rubbish, but not top ten either.

I also loved OBAA and Sinners (and a bunch of movies this year) but Hamnet jumped right to the top of my list of favorites for 2025.
I love both One Battle After Another and Sinners, but if you don't think they're doing at least as much to work you over and get you to a certain emotional place as Hamnet is, I don't know what to tell you. There's no rule that it's okay to go for your adrenaline but cheating to go for your tears.

Hamnet is a superb film that shouldn't need defending, but apparently it does, so I'll just say that I can't count the number of Oscar seasons in which a movie labeled as "soft" or "manipulative" is attacked bc it putatively threatens the chances of a NOT-soft film that is at least as manipulative.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

We should offer to split Warner Brothers in half, Solomon-style (one brother each), and see whether Paramount or Netflix really loves them.

Bowie Day 44 “Karma Man” (1970) Track 8 of “The World of David Bowie”
This album was a compilation of earlier songs with three previously unreleased tracks including this one, though it was written in 1967. Music is nice but the lyrics just slide right out of my brain.

Bowie Day 43 “Conversation Piece” (1970) B-Side to "The Prettiest Star"
Another character study song about a lonely person - Bowie likes his themes! The story, of an over-educated person who doesn't know how to talk to people made me think of the movie "Wonder Boys".

Bowie Day 42 “The Prettiest Star (Single Version)” (1970)
Not to be confused with the Aladdin Sane version. A sweet little love song with *stellar* lyrics. ;) Written for Angie Barnett, his girlfriend at the time. Some lovely guitar from Marc Bolan of T.Rex fame.

Bowie Day 40 "Memory of a Free Festival" (1969) Final Track of "David Bowie (Space Oddity)"
This one's not my cup of tea. Slow intro, then I like it okay once Bowie starts singing, but the last three minutes are just the same lyric over and over, a pet peeve of mine.
