What's amazing is Bowie was kind of skipping ahead to post punk before punk even happened. I heard Radioactivity for the first time in Feb 76, blasting through the PA in a hockey arena in Toronto on the Isolar tour. (Followed by opening act Un Chien Andalou, but that's another thread of influence).

There was a fantastic exhibition of PaJaMa artists called The Young and Evil: Queer Modernism in New York, 1930-1955 at Zwirner back in 2019. Beautiful hardbound catalogue as well.

The seven albums that span between this and Zuma are a pretty remarkable run, and a remarkable set of changes.

This was on the bookshelf of every hip intellectual in the late 1970s.

This was extraordinarily prescient when it came out in 1981. The Best Uniforms made a huge impact. First time that stuff had been theorized AFAIK

Fantastic his art is finally getting the attention it deserves. I came across this, from January 1936, about the accident settlement...

Virtually unknown at the time over here, as there was no US release. If Only For A Moment also went unreleased in US (but got a Canadian one).

One of the first records I owned. Everything about it was so moving and mysterious, as if emanating from a distant planet. I was a mad Ziggy kid, but Roxy w/Eno were cryptic, beautiful and imponderable in a way that Bowie only rarely achieved (Bewlay Bros, Grinning Soul, Free Festival, After All...)

Recorded at SPAR (Stafford Publishing and Recording)Music, above a drug store in Florence Alabama. It's almost a certainty that some of the Muscle Shoals luminaries like Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham and David Briggs are playing on it, as they were all friends with Tom Stafford, the owner of the studio.

Always found the cover image strange, since everyone looks quite uncomfortable, like Ray and Dave have just had a blazing row.

B side of 45 version of Alright Now is my favourite example of what you're describing. I always hear a bit of Peter Green in those immaculate bends...

Love the replacement cover 😂 Early postmodernism. We didn't have to deal with it here.
