Can You Hear Me, 2012
Can You Hear Me is the penultimate track on David Bowie’s 1975 album, Young Americans.
In my humble opinion the album is best heard in its vinyl incarnation, in one sitting (although skipping the execrable Across The Universe is allowed/ recommended), with a glass of wine in one hand and a packet of B&H in the other.

David Bowie week has also been celebrated in fine style by Cardinal Guzman. You should also visit Deanne’s Obsolescence Project and definitely take a look at this post and David’s Spanish Stroll, where more fantastic photographic Bowie-related posts have been made.
David Bowie week’s been a lot of fun for me, but I realised yesterday that not that long ago I was posting an image every couple of days and this week I’ve been doing two a day. This has got to stop. So, next week is…Kajagoogoo week.
Like your recos for listening. Although not 100% sure what B and H is. Smokes? Gave that up some time ago:) Been enjoying the two a day series, but I can see how it’s a lot of work! One a day is challenging for me. Cheers
Yes, smokes – I got up to 40 per day at one point, but haven’t smoked for a decade. Thanks – glad you’ve enjoyed it – I feel a bit wired to be honest. No post tomorrow, at least.
40 a day! Wow. That’s serious. Me too – a decade. I wasn’t quite as serious though:) Enjoy the time off the ethernet.
Thanks, Deanne. 🙂 I’ll still be commenting etc…
What? Can you repeat that?
Cool image.
You’re right about the album being best heard on vinyl.
🙂 I’m going to email you something…
I’ve been enjoying DB & your 2 a day habit. BTW the G.O. refers to B&H as Benny & Harrys – might be an Oz thing 🙂
🙂 Ha ha – that’s brilliant! Thanks. No posts for a couple of days…I feel like I’m on holiday.
Have a look at the Pop Art mannequins here: http://tanjastark.com/
Many of them have a strong resemblance to our friend, Mr Bowie.
Ha ha, brilliant! Particularly like the Nick Cave – very good.
I’ve been enjoying the posts, but you have to do what you need to. I love the characters you find to photograph and I hope to see a lot more of that.
Thanks, Leanne. Yes, I’m sure I’ll carry on with that…
