Hey guys, I found the contact sheet from the shoot for Bowie’s new album. Fascinating stuff.
Seriously considering just ditching everything right now and going down to SXSW.
It’s all Slacker’s fault.
I Didn’t Know The World Would Last This Long - John Hartford (1968)
Man, this album is really killer. Sure, it’s overproduced and ain’t no Aereo-plain, but these songs could shine through anything.
God I miss John Hartford.

When young, we mourn for one woman… as we grow old, for women in general. The tragedy of life is that man is never free yet strives for what he can never be. The thing most feared in secret always happens. My life, my loves, where are they now? But the more the pain grows, the more this instinct for life somehow asserts itself. The necessary beauty in life is in giving yourself to it completely. Only later will it clarify itself and become coherent.
- Old Man Recording Thoughts
The stars are interruptions to the darkness of the night,
Intruding imperfections that the night cannot deny.
The lack of light invites a victim and a victim’s cry
To pierce its lonely suffocation, if only with a sigh.
Yes, it is the stars at night that give our hopes a home,
Suggesting with a little light that we are not alone.
-Randy
