@rockingbob.bsky.social imagining the soundtrack to Bowie and Iggy Pop's regular haunt during the 'Berlin period'. Great stuff.

At that age, Beckett's "I can't go on, I'll go on" came to mind during bedtime.
Oof. What age?

I absolutely loved this record when it came out during my second year of university, so it brings back lots of memories. Lovely to get the 2024 reissue over Christmas.
