as a palestinian who has been watching dan and phil for 13 years now i can't even begin to describe how happy i am about the charity live stream, im so proud of them, im so happy that i haven't spent all these years loving them for nothing, it truly means the world. :")
for anyone unaware, the live stream will be on the youtube channel danandphilgames, on the 30th of jan at 8pm uk time!
First, we’ll go through each David Bowie studio album from his 1967 debut all the way up to Blackstar (including the Tin Machine albums) and determine which is the best song on each album. Then, we’ll take each of those songs and pit them against each other until we find the ultimate Number One Song. Then we’ll also find the ultimate Number One Song from all his songs on movie soundtracks and otherwise non-album songs and pit all of those against each other until we find the REAL ultimate Number One Song. It’ll be a lot of fun. It’ll also take forever.
Polls start on Friday, September 22nd, and will each last for a week!
All past, present, and future brackets will be shown under the cut!

Так звучит латинское выражение "E cantu dignoscitur avis". Трактовать ее можно широко. Но здесь я имела в виду два аспекта.
1). У Depeche Mode есть свои характерные особенности, их ни с кем не перепутаешь. Они самостоятельные, хотя зависимости у них другого рода. При этом птицы они свободные.
2). Про символику птиц, которая у них наблюдаются.
На концерте в Барселоне оператор показал крупным планом гитару Мартина, где красовалась известная Gretsch G6136TLTV White Falcon (как правило, песню "Never let me down" он исполняет на этой гитаре, да и ряд других композиций). Красивая во всех смыслах гитара! А этот изображенный на ней сокол как хорош.
Это никак не связано, но тот сокол на его гитаре порой мне напоминает татуировку юности Дейва (птица с его именем). Что-то в этом есть, конечно! Я бы сказала, общая крылатая тема.
All these mercurial musical figures followed their own whims mostly thanks to their own financial successes. Yes, I put my definition of them in a paradox here, yet allow me to tell you what I mean on the case of David Bowie. Here's the deal – while he did have his own path to chart, I believe he didn't become the Bowie until his 80's that remains one of his most controversial eras. You are familiar with the fact he has been accused of selling out and the numbers from the time support this assertion. However, think of this – he would only be a cult item without him doing the cosplay of a pop star during the 80's. Also hear some of the works from them – some of them suck in a way only he could've made, but those that function marvelously do so because of him.
