P.S. David Bowie's ugly as fuck, but I'd have his babies.
P.S.S. Jareth the goblin king.

Ashes to ashes is better and space oddity is best.

Life on Mars resonates mostly because of the show. (which I need to finish at some point)

That's a shame. His bad makeup and contacts ruin what would otherwise be an awesome mullet.
Regarding the Pixies, they have an acute case of Dream Theater syndrome. Great band hampered by lackluster singer.

No. Well. I don't think so, anyway. I mean, yes, he can't sing for shit. But I think his style brings a lot to the band. Like Modest Mouse/Ugly Casanova; singer yowls like a cat in a toaster, and yet that ends up being an important element of the style.
Frank Black (mister Pixies) manages to make his voice gel seamlessly with the music. For instance, songs about mutilation and incest have never been done better than by the Pixies. The harsh vocals help to capture the theme and are supported perfectly by the fuckstrange guitar.
Furthermore, Black's lyrics. Hard to understand sometimes admittedly, and even when you do manage to discern what he's saying, you still have no idea what he's saying. Sounds like gibberish. For instance, in Debaser:
'Slicin' up eyeballs, wohohoho. Dunno about you, but I am un chien andalusian. Wohoho. Chien andalusian.' etc. etc.
That whole song is a reference to the experimental films of Salvador Dali, particularly Un Chien Andalou, which opens with a scene of a conscious woman having her eyeball sliced open by a doctor.
I only got the reference recently when I watched the film. Respect for the band multiplied tenfold. The fact is, he yowls like a cat and seems to be spouting gibberish, but it turns out an awful lot of his songs actually reference some pretty cultured stuff-- Salvador Dali, David Lynch's Eraserhead, Greek mythology. And I reckon that a yowling, batshit, out-of-tune screech is actually the best (and most suitably visceral) way to treat subject matter like experimental films and pure insanity.
Also, I would marry the everloving shit out of Kim Deal.
P.S. Yes, the Dream Theatre singer is lackluster.

P.S.S. Bowie isn't wearing contacts. He was punched in the eye as a kid and left with a permanently dilated pupil.
True story.

1. I didn't know about Bowie's eye thing. Or anything else about him outside of his songs.
2. No facetiousness here. He looks like shit, but a mullet could have kicked him up a notch.
3. Frank Black. I can't agree, but I can dig where you're coming from.

Actually, I'm more of a hipster square. Horrible taste? Perhaps. But it's not like yours is any better, so you know, glass houses.

Nigga please,
I'm far and away more fashionable, progressive, and leading edge than you.
and in terms of taste in media? Well only one of us likes to be an annoying douchebag and champion some bullshit like pro-wrestling, Power Rangers, and Troma films.
