Capture: Great Southern Land, in reply to Hebe,
That phoenix palm has me foxed also!! I keep thinking it's on the High/Manchester corner but don't think it can be.
What I love about that video is the sad look in their eyes. The sense of wrongness, nothing being as it should be. It's not dramatising the destruction, just gently bearing witness.

Sorry to hear about the lurg, Hebe, that sucks!! Glad if things are looking up now, and your boys are making you proud. :-)

I’ll be the one chasing airborne ephemera all over the show
Ian, I thought of you (and Joe, too) when I saw this last night on Twitter:
Video of a traditional glass signwriter at work. Jaw-dropping virtuosity.

A plane, a bird...a super horse!
I think that's not a real bird though, eh?
PS Chch is that sunny too, except when you visit. Honest.

Lights on the Avon.
Love that shot! So very Chch.
I seem to recall there were some other night ones?Was terrific to see you and share with you some of the bits that are left. It made me painfully aware how much more has gone, even in the last few months.
As I said, without standing here in person with us you can’t understand what it’s like. After the tragedy and the loss, the grindingly mundane awfulness of everything.
Lovely people like those here on PAS make it much more bearable. Thanks, and arohanui to all.

Also, Tricky! Thanks for the heads-up. :-)

Back in the day, I was as big a Bowie nut as your hair-man, Russell. But I was progressively alienated by <cough> Tin Machine <cough>, THAT interview with Susan Wood <shudder>, the meh Black Tie White Noise and then the execrable Heathen . Since his best work seemed to be behind him, I just wanted him to stop. The extension of his youthful exuberance and anti-establishment posturing into middle age seemed more and more embarrassing.
But the two new singles I really like. He’s confronting his age and his past, and generating new, and more relevant, personae for himself. And he still knows how to write a kicking tune. Hurrah for all that.
I particularly like the new video, and how skillfully it blends a hard-rocking sexiness with discomfort and anxiety and defeat. Bowie’s making collaborative art again. Yee haa. :-)
