# I had dismissed this film as a typically substandard production of a more deserving work of science fiction
but the more I see it referenced here, and from what I read at IMDB, the more I realize I should watch it.
By the same reasoning, I just borrowed "Labyrinth" from my library, and am preparing for the enlightenment. It's surprising, some of the pop cultural experiences I should have had in my youth, yet inexplicably didn't.

# Now buy David Bowie's "Low".
Really. (His music was often a tad better than his acting)

It's quite cheap, and the start of lots of fruitful paths.

Somebody back me up here.

# I might see about that
I'm really only familiar with Space Oddity etc. which were played relentlessly on the Classic Rock station I listened to in the mid-80s, somewhere amid my 70s honky-tonk childhood, 80s headbanging teens, 90s college indie rock and post-millennial smorgasbord.

Check ignition, and may God's love be with you!

# Peace!
"Hunky Dory" might be a comfortable transitional stage before you move on to "Low"... but hey, why not just bite the bullet? It's not as if they're expensive.
(The CDs, I mean, not bullets. I dunno how much they cost)

*EDIT* Also, it looks like I'm living your musical life in reverse! From indie rock, to finding metal tolerable, and heading for a comfy honky-tonk middle-age...

# Not as shit as it's made out to be.
They did an OK version of The Pixies' "Debaser", albeit not as good as the original. As if anything could be.

I should probably reinvestigate

# Again, do so.
it won't exactly break the bank. Oh, and pick up a copy of "Low" while you're at it. I'm not his bank manager - I just reckon that's his best record.

My mate Ian is potty for "Young Americans", but try as I might, I just don't like it very much.

apart from "Scary Monsters" and "Fashion" for some reason.

# I fought Bowie off for years. Decades, even.
But I gave in in the end.

I always had the impression I was missing out on something good that I thought was shit.

Maybe you could ease yrself in through Roxy Music, early-80s electronic gubbins or Iggy Pop. Even Suede.

Just noticed 'crockery' in the 'background sounds' section.

Unconfined mirth, to the annoyance of people nearby.
