When I was 12, I saw David Bowie on Top of the Pops (UK)...he was either singing Fame or Golden Years recorded on America's Soul Train. I don't remember which.
youtube
I was totally taken in by this skinny strange androgynous alien creature. It was first step into the strange world of the Theatrical performance.
youtube
I can still remember which friends house I was at. They were normal, liked horses kind of person. I didn't say anything to them. By the time I hit 14, I had a friend who liked Bowie too, and we used to lay on the floor of their lounge putting our heads between the speakers to work out lyrics on the vinyl albums that didn't have the song lyrics inserts. I remember going to the local Woolworths near school to buy the Heroes album in 1977.
(I can see Crowley in this image, mind you I see Good Omens everywhere and in everything these days...lol.)
Well, my passion for Bowie led me to many things in my life, including Lindsay Kemp, his ex lover and Mentor. After I went to see The Lindsay Kemp Company in 1983, I had kind of gone off Bowie due to Let's Dance and getting Sunstroke at his gig in Milton Keynes. David Bowie had become popular with normal people at it felt like he had sold out at that point to me. So as most of my favourite bands had disbanded, it became a Theatrical life for me.
Recently I have gone back to check out Bowie, (post 1987... still can't do 1983 -1987. ) I found a video I hadn't seen, I knew the song but not the video. When you tour in Theatre you miss a lot of things, films, TV shows and music videos etc. Now I finally have time to catch up.
youtube
This video really feels influenced by David Bowie's time in The Lindsay Kemp Company...... especially when he performed in The Looking Glass Murders / Pierrot in Turquoise.
youtube
Firstly the bed... something Lindsay used all the time in so many Kemp Co shows.
David Bowie and Lindsay Kemp.
In the Bowie video.
More Kemp Co beds, first photo Flowers, 2nd The Maids, both based on the work of Jean Genet....as is Bowies song The Jean Genie.
And the guy in the colour screenshot really looks like Jack Birkett, aka The Incredible Orlando who was in the John, I'm only Dancing video...and danced in The Ziggy Stardust shows. The Black and white photos are Jack, who was actually blind. He was in a number of Derek Jarman's films.... most notably Jubilee and The Tempest. It isn't Jack in the video, he was too old to trussed up like that.
More similar scenarios.
Many don't realise that the Ziggy shows at the Rainbow were basically done upon the Kemp Company Flowers Set.
T.L. Bowie on Pierrot set, TR, Jack and Annie Stainer with Bowie during the Ziggy shows, bottom both photos of Flowers set. I am in B.R. photo Me being the Madame the last time the show was performed in Europe in 1992.
The last time David and Lindsay met was the early 1990s in Italy, Lindsay had said to me DB wasn't very friendly toward him...so I wonder if the video and song MIGHT be about that as the video feels that way to me with the imagery.
Strangers when we meet, David Bowie.
You, you, you, you, you, you
All our friends
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffé
I'm with you
So I can't go on
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheets
I'm bewildered
For we're strangers when we meet
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I'm over you
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheet
I'm resentful
For we're strangers when we meet
Cold tired fingers
Tapping out your memories
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
It was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu
Steely resolve
Is falling from me
My poor soul
All bruised passivity
All your regrets
Ride rough-shod over me
I'm so glad
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm so thankful
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm in clover
For we're strangers when we meet
Heel head over
But we're strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet, strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet, strangers when we meet.
........
Blimey, I only mentioned Good Omens and Crowley once.... how amazing! A NON Good Omens post...lol
I see Bowie in Crowley all the time and I don't apologise.

Agaricus xanthodermus. The prefix “xantho-” is Greek for “yellow.” The yellow staining effect is really apparent in this mushroom

@panaceaphantastica submitted: Hi I'm sorry for adding my face to the mix but I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this picture my boyfriend took of me excited about a pretty bug I found. Literally seconds before I started asking for the camera so I could take a picture to submit it here! Ur allowed to post this submission btw if me being in it is not against the rules! Took while climbing at the Brazilian Highlands, Itatiaia National Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. I would love to know what kind of bug is this, there was this one time when I was 6 or 7 that I found (to my horror) three of these in my pants somehow???? They were just sitting there and I spent the day with those pants and only noticed something weird at night. Still feels like a fever dream.
(I think I accidentally deleted the auto tags I'm so sorry I hope this doesn't mess anything up)
Nope, it doesn't mess anything up, I can easily re-add the tags. They're just there so I don't have to type them every single time.
Anyhoo I too would get excited about this little dude! Very colorful. It's a cotton stainer bug, Dysdercus ruficollis. They're a type of plant bug, so definitely harmless to people. Not sure what they were doing in your pants lol. Human taxi?

i can’t believe for a brief amount of time when i didn’t like requiems holy shit they’re so good??? i mean some movements can be boring but like if you listen to dies irae from mozart and don’t somewhat explode i do not understand you, also verdi’s dies irae it’s really the fucking song ever
#ezra enjoys music#sadly i’ve never sung verdi but it’s certainly not improbable for the future#we didn’t do all of mozart either i mean we did kinda just do the exciting ones but like yeah#and then when it isn’t the intense ones or the mildly dull ones it’s the emotion ones which are also very good!!!#i might be mixing up my requiem and mass for peace admittedly#but i don’t care because karl jenkins wrote the armed man mass for peace and i changed as a person#oh my god but as a minor rant why in the most popular mozart’s requiem version do they pronounce perpetua perpitua#it sounds so awkward and out of place!!! or maybe we did it wrong#anyway! the point i was making was music good i fucking love music oh my god#for anyone who doesn’t really know me well i feel i should clarify i’m not religious or anything this music just sounds very good#i need to listen to stainer’s crucifixion at some point actually parts of it are wild#there’s a song from the perspective of jesus dying on the cross n he’s like having a breakdown#i mean then it does just repeat oh come unto me over and over which is less exciting but whatever#christianity#<- just in case??? like it’s not but yknow not everyone just listens to this music for the silly#ok i’ll stop rambling now tumblr is glitching the tags at me slightly again#ezra likes music

you're impossibly fast and strong, your skin is pale white and ice cold
Verdant eyes narrow in offense as he recalls the source of the quote; soft speckled memories of evenings on the divan with his lover, taking turns reading the books aloud, seeing how many sentences they could get through before the snickering turned into outright guffaws.
But when the words are turned towards him in this very moment, he meets Edith’s gaze with an unamused expression.
“That isn’t funny.” He folds in on himself for a moment, arms crossed over his chest as if to brace himself against the brash insult. “If you want someone to roleplay Twilight with you, I suggest you go find Lestat.”
#HANNAH THE WAY I FUCKING SHRIEKED AT THIS#this is absolute crack but listen louis hates twilight LMAO#;answered#stainered
