OMG, you better learn it: Amanda's alphabet
!! omg blog !! (Free subscription) | 05/21/2008
Disco queen/model/gay icon/probably-trannie Amanda Lear has reinvented herself several times over the decades, but who knew she reinvented the entire alphabet? "Because time goes on and things are changing in my world, here is a new alphabet for the children of my generation." "C stands for claustrophobia, and D for dirty old men." "Naturally, M is for me, and N is for never again!" (Thanks to Brendan...

David Bowie @61
Jahsonic (Free subscription) | 01/08/2008
Happy Birthday Mr. Bowie Life on Mars (1972) by Bowie David Bowie was 25 when he made this composition. As with many artists, their most productive and innovative period is between 20 and 30. I loved the androgynous persona of Amanda Lear-ish Ziggy. I wonder who did the make-up. Some Amanda Lear androgyny Euro-disco: “Enigma (Give A Bit [...]

Kinda scary, was Amanda Lear . Somehow ended up with Lee Hazelwood's voice. Not quite sure how that happened, but just go with it, huh? Psychedelic Euro-Disco from '78. Here she is a few years earlier in a promo film for Bowie's seriously underrated version of " Sorrow "...love the break-dn bit: "With your long, blonde hair...I couldn't sleep last night. With your loooonng, blonnnde hair..." So much...

Day 486: I Am Employed
NON-WORKINGMONKEY (Free subscription) | 11/20/2007
Following my exciting trip to Toronto, I have a job. I am therefore very busy re-arranging my new pens, buying books, reading blogs 'for research', waxing my satchel etc, and it is brilliant. It is brilliant for these reasons: 1. I am being paid to think 2. Even better, I am being paid to think about things I find interesting (e.g. chocolate) 3. I am not working with idiots. Au contraire! I am working...

About 50 of y'all sent me this fun video yesterday. Here's "the world's first bearband", BearForce1, giving a Stars On 45 approach to a dozen or so HI-NRG '80s hits. I hear Amanda Lear, Donna Summer, Mel & Kel, Sabrina, Yaz, Sylvester, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Fun Fun, Dead Or Alive, maybe a couple of other things. Three of them are from Amsterdam, one is from Belfast. Fun and they're cute!

Amanda Lear - Sweet Revenge

Then in the late '60s and early '70's she became David Bowie 's lover, before moving on to Bryan Ferry . For her troubles she ended up on the cover of Roxy Music 's second LP, For Your Pleasure . In 1977 Amanda Lear started a...
