Bowie moved from LA to France and then to Berlin, to complete the album Low, and again uses a still from The Man Who Fell to Earth as the cover. Keeping his Low profile.

Today is the immaculate Station to Station, and the inspiration for Station to Stations of the Cross.
“Station to Station. A moment of calm. A point where you can step outside of the normal channels and observe. This is a moment where you can pivot from the previous path and move in a new direction.”

Today is Young Americans proper, and this factoid.
Bowie’s Young Americans sleeve was based on Toni Basil’s image on the cover of Sept ’74’s After Dark magazine.

This Sunday is supposed to be The Gouster, but it gets mixed up with the Young Americans a little too much. I may have to adjust my timing … #DavidBowie #bowiemass #BowiemassCountdown

I recall Sweet Thing playing as I arrived at the big video room for the David Is exhibition. That was a crazy time.

This is a full course meal of an album, and has the great story behind the cover - apparently David had the flu and the Spiders didn’t want to go out to the shoot with him because it was raining.

The Bowiemass Countdown begins next week, but I am getting in early with this Proto-Bowie Playlist. Full of 60s vibes before the Deram gestalt. #Bowie #Bowiemass

#Bowiemass a few days late

I run a yearly event that culminates in #Bowiemass, which takes place between the 8th and 10th of January. As far as I know, I’m the only one who does this. As a lead up to this, I play through an #album every weekend beginning on the Summer Solstice. Pagan #Bowie worship.
This weekend is 1. Outside (The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper-cycle)
