  1. @TNLUK #instants EquestriSlam
  2. how about an anti-lottery? Buy a ticket for a pound, and have a one in 14 million chance of having all your money taken away
  3. @Mr_Ogrizovic @edwardwarddraws thanks, I will follow that one up.
  4. … Not much point me going on a course like that now, I'm beyond saving.
  5. artists! Do you know where the best places are to do a foundation course in illustration in London? (really IS for a friend) thanks.
  6. @TNLUK #instants my biceps twitter.com/AndyRileyish/s…
  7. @CosgraveMikey haven't done that one yet! Next week.
  8. @PeterBaynham I will dig it out!
  9. @PeterBaynham yes and they printed it! A proud day
  10. @PeterBaynham as I've often insisted, all of those Bowie "characters" look and sound the same. His reinvention is a pernicious myth
  11. @CosgraveMikey I loved kooks. the first three songs I knew very well already, and like. Didn't go for most of the rest
  12. @CosgraveMikey Mostly with you there. His best stuff always sounds incredibly accomplished, but I don't get much emotion off it personally
  13. @juliascheele I know! But was just listening to other things in youth. Andy Partridge was my David Bowie; then captain beefheart
  14. @GKM77X I thought kooks was absolutely wonderful. Changes and life on Mars, too familiar to really judge well. The rest – still not sure
  15. @TheAlwarner it's just all that harmony singing, I don't like the sound of it.
  16. One of my main reactions to hunky Dory is "wow, he really reminds me of Gary le strange"
  17. @TheAlwarner I know this is sacrilege but I don't like pet sounds!
  18. @ajhmurray no, hunky dory is first Bowie album I've sat down and listened to. Never really understood him so giving it a crack now
