Just a note to say I’m enjoying your Bowie series. My old roommate had a more-or-less complete collection, and after Station to Station and Hunky Dory, it was the Berlin albums that I raided most...

Hi Glenn. Great to hear from you. Happy New Year. I know what you mean about “Heroes.” In the past it’s never been among my favorite Bowie songs (although I never disliked it), but hearing it both in...

Rich, I’ve heard everything from The Man Who Sold The World through Tonight multiple times. The albums after that I’ve only heard once or twice each. This may say something about Bowie’s music but in...

Glenn, a lot of people would say you should consider yourself lucky that he got married when he did, so you avoided repeated listening of “Never Let Me Down” (which I’m playing as I type this). I have...

Another great write-up Rich. You have me excited to revisit “Lodger” in particularly.

Brian, I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts when you revisit Lodger. It never really made an impact on me, even though I’ve listened to it several times over the years, but now I love it.

Of all the batches of albums I've revisited & written about in the last couple of years, the <em>"Berlin Trilogy"</em> is possibly my favorite, and certainly it's the group of albums I...

I envy you for growing up with Bowie's music. I had to come to it on my own, and other than a handful of albums I didn't truly embrace his entire output until I began revisiting it in late 2011 &...

Cool! And never meant to imply that you were only listening to stuff in a particular way- merely stating how lucky I was to have bowie old and new kind of happening at once for me. Which I guess wasn’t...

Thanks for the input, Pete. Didn’t make that connection with “Repetition.” I’ll have to go back & reassess it. I haven’t delved enough into Iggy’s catalog, other than the first three Stooges albums...

Good God, man! You are right about the Orange Juice/Sound and Vision connection! I would have never thought about that, but you are 100% correct. I’ll never be able to listen to Rip It Up the same way...
