FROCK COAT AND BIPPERTY-BOPPERTY HAT

ITEM [via Def Agent [livejournal.com profile] lorilori ]: The Thin White Duke turned 63 yesterday (Thursday).

As you might guess, I’ve been a fan for a long time, and while I can find something to like from his entire back catalog – even his more recent albums – like a lot of people I like his Ziggy/Berlin era the most.

Still, I thought I’d select something just outside of that period, “Queen Bitch” from the Hunky Dory album – because it gives me an excuse to post the end-credits to The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (possibly one of the best uses of classic rock in a film directed by someone besides Quentin Tarantino).



So you get Bowie, Bill Murray and a Buckaroo Banzai homage for the price of one post. Because we are all about value-add here at Team Def.

No taste at all,

This is dF
