Belated birthday happies for Jilli!!!
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm bored.
For my first 3 semesters of college I was obsessed with David Bowie. (Then I got into the Velvet Underground, but that's a different story.)
So, favorite Bowie albums? My top five ten would be:
1:
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
2:
Hunky Dory
3:
Scary Monsters
4:
Diamond Dogs
5:
Let's Dance
6:
Aladdin Sane
7:
Heroes
8:
Low
9:
Lodger
10:
Space Oddity
If I had done this list 25 years ago, I think Heroes and Low would be much higher on my list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Intriguing listing, tommy.
Hunky Dory is probably my favorite though I admit I've been focusing on Bowie As Songwriter for a while now, and that's one of his strongest and most varied collections of songs.
How about The Man Who Sold the Earth? Station to Station?
And the Venture Brothers makes a case for Hours.

Those would probably be my 11th and 12th.
But it was really hard to put that list in order. Even now I'm not sure of it. Possibly The Man Who Sold the World and Station to Station belong ahead of Space Oddity.
Eta: It's The Man Who Sold the World. I bet you were confusing the title with The Man Who Fell to Earth (which I must rewatch some day).

You'd better go listen to Station to Station tonight to be sure.

Yeah, according to iTunes I haven't listened to all of Station to Station in 6 months.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The camera operators for Kimmel apparently missed the Ignore The Guitar God on Stage Left memo and Toro was amaaaaaaaazing. So happeeeeee!
Tickets achieved for NY, NY, Boston, Philly, NJ, and (hopefully soon!) DC.
