Ziggy Stardust 30th Anniversary

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ziggy-played-guitar-better-than-me dept.

jonerik writes "Any short list of influential rock albums of the '70s is likely to include David Bowie's 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars,' the story of a futuristic alien rock star and his demise during the Earth's final years. Originally released in June 1972, Ziggy is celebrating his 30th anniversary this year in fine style. First of all, the album is being reissued today in a limited edition 2-CD set. Secondly, the 1983 documentary, 'Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars,' directed by filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker ('Don't Look Back,' 'Monterey Pop') is being re-released this month and John Cameron Mitchell has an interesting interview with Pennebaker about the re-release in this week's Village Voice."

    crapfloods and trolling and raping small kittens
    nice wider pages and wanking with mittens
    turd report packages tied up with strings
    these are a few of my favorite things

    grits covered portman and ASCII art doodles
    ACs and CLITers and Katz sex with poodles
    wild trolls that fly with plus five mod scoring
    these are a few of my favorite things

    when the ban hits, when I can't post, when I'm feeling sad
    i simply remember my favorite things
    then i don't feel so bad

    Rob Malda chugs penis in fan fiction slashes
    taco snot over my nose and eyelashes
    BSD dying and that goatse ring
    these are a few of my favorite things

    Yes, of course. I also refer to my many computers in my room^H^H^H^Hbasement as "boxen", too. This is because I am elite!

    I am pretty sure you ment to type 'my PARENTS basement'.

    Yes, of course. My apologies. I've been living with my parents all my life. Which is about, hmm .. 33, maybe 34 years now.

    Why do you not post your poo diary any more? Are you constipated?

    I used to enjoy reading of your frequent toilet bowl experiences.
