YAYAYAY

Ok. Ok.

My brain isn't working really well today, but I've latched onto an idea. Allow me to incoherently illustrate:

So in the past few days I've totally rekindled my love for David Bowie.

Maybe my brain is too full of Kracauer and Adorno, but "I'm Afraid of Americans" is so freaking perfect it's ridiculous. Ok. So. First listen to the song. Let yourself be swept up into the lyrics. You discover its message is basically antiestablishment-anticonformist, but by a 50 year old European star from the rock and roll heyday. Disconnect! But the song is still great! And he totally throws you a curveball in the last part of the song. WHICH MAKES IT AWESOME.

And then you watch the music video, which is so hilariously transparent but really intense AND SO FREAKING AWESOME. DOWN WITH JOHNNY! BUT HOORAY FOR JOHNNY! JOHNNY'S THE BOMB!

And then you're like... THIS SONG IS SOAMAZING. ONSOMANYLEVELS.

And then you're like... OH MY GOD DAVID BOWIE IS BRILLIANT. YEAH ZIGGY STARDUST! Everything he sings turns to freanking GOLD, man!!!!

...And I am officially getting really excited and worked up over something that probably won't appear as wonderful to anyone else, much less to me in another 24 hours, because I right now am sleep-deprived and foggy in the brain.

ok back to work. I probably sound like an idiot right about now.
