Bowie's "Reality" is very much in the same vein as "Heathen." I don't have an instant favorite -- so far none of the songs especially grab me. But of course I thought exactly the same thing the first few times I listened to Radiohead's "Hail to the Thief." I pre-ordered "You Are the Quarry" today; for a couple extra bucks I get a companion DVD.

I spent today ghosting in and out of stores, unable to focus, not in the mood to read and just barely tasting my coffee. I felt like a cheap hologram. The sidewalks were thick with teenagers in prom formal-wear. Fat girls in ludicrous backless dresses, pale flesh rippling.
