Corpsey
bandz ahoy
I was quite shocked by the news, and am saddened, but this is one of those deaths where I've been prompted to finally get acquainted with the work of the deceased. I've heard a fair few Bowie songs (who hasn't?), of course, but I'm basically unfamiliar with him beyond those big singles.
Is it best to go through his discography in chronological order, or check out a couple of the best albums first, do you think? I'm a bit daunted by how many of these albums I've heard praised so lavishly over the years.
With this significant proviso, R.I.P. I know social-media mourning can be a target for cynicism, but I've been very moved by the outpouring on my twitter feed today.
