ITEM [via Def Agent
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

One of these days I'm going to have to do a review of THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU if for no other reason than for me to present my case that it's a 30's pulp action adventure updated to modern day.
