My Life According To David Bowie {Blogtoberfest 3/31}

I should probably be marking (groan) but .... this is such a fun meme to do ...it was around ages ago and I made a note to join in ... but then a gazillion years went by and it has languished as a title without a post in my draft folder  ...

So, with all this Blogtoberfesting going on, I thought I'd finally get down to it.

Using only song titles from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions.  

Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think!

I've picked David Bowie because his voice absolutely fits his music. I have no trouble remembering Bowie lyrics from 30 years ago ... they are indelibly fixed in the sound..

This is something that is really heightened by my synaesthesia . Some music is just a perfect woven mix of texture and colour for me. Beethoven, cellos and funk also do it for me ...

When I say woven texture I mean it quite literally.  My listening experience is like a big loom, where as the music progresses I see the warp and weft combine to form a fabric which is the whole piece.

There are plenty of songs that I could hear a trillion times without ever knowing, or even hearing the words.  If there isn't a balance for me the weave of the music will overpower the lyrics completely ...

Let’s have some Meme Fun {Blogtoberfest #22}

 

… sorry this is a late post, fellow Blogtoberfestians, but my internet connection is a bit like this and I just gave up last night --->

Cath @ ChunkyChooky is having some fun with this so I thought I would too  … If you want to join in, go add your link once you’ve mused …

4 things that I always carry

• Pens & notebook (I’m a stationery fiend)
• Fuschia Lipstick (I can’t concentrate without it)
• iPod (though I never remember I’ve got it until the battery’s flat!)
• Guilt from eating that bit of cake

4 things that are in my bedroom:

• Peace
• Notebook for writing down weird dreams/3 am thoughts of extreme creative genius
• A tottering tower of unread books (I love The Art of Looking Sideways, too, Cath)
• Tribble-like odd sock collection

4 things that I would like to do but haven't done yet:

• Fly a WWII Spitfire
• Cut in a straight line
• Go to Egypt on a Nile cruise and a potter round the pyramids
• Find buried treasure

4 things that you don't know about me:

• I have synaesthesia, which means that I hear colour in music, words and numbers
• I can’t ride a bicycle & I’ve never taken my driving test
• I once made coffee for Bishop Desmond Tutu (he was wearing beautiful purple socks)
• Back in the 1980s I used to dress up as Frank N Furter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and go throw rice at the screen – sheesh that was 30 years ago!

4 things I often wonder:

• how did 20 years go like *that* when just 1 hour in a Monday morning class can seem like a decade?
• where did I put my new front teeth?
• why am I so clumsy?
• what did I come in here for?
