Default Bowie Week In Journal Land

The whole time I've been a member here I've never organised a specific themed week or month.... Until now.

Yesterday saw the release of Bowie's newest triple greatest hits album. To celebrate this I would like to propose that next week anyone with a journal write something on a chosen Bowie album. It can be anything you want. It doesn't have to be a review although you can do that if you wish, you can write something about hearing it for the first time, you can choose an album of his you might not have heard and write something about that, you might want to choose an album you think is underrated or overrated and write something about that.

I won't be including his first album (technically it's a compilation) or including other compilations, bootlegs, live albums, soundtrack albums or unreleased albums on the official list but if you want to continue with the theme yourself it's fine.

Simply name the album you want to cover and you will be added to the list. It will be done on a first come first served basis. We did attempt to do something like this before but it fell apart. I nominated to review 'Lodger' so that'll be my nomination. Only one nomination per person until things slow down, then after that if you want to do another you can if there are still some up.

Count me in. I've never heard an entire Bowie album, so this is a good opportunity. Might as well go with Ziggy Stardust, it's the one I've heard the most about.

Does he have any albums that the snobs hate, but still listen to when nobody else is around?
