Pieces of me
My little corner where inspiration sometimes meets madness, and the bits in between

On this day in music history: May 20, 1976 - “Changesonebowie”, the eleventh album by David Bowie is released. It is the first compilation of Bowie’s hits on RCA Records from 1969 to 1976. The album will also mark the first appearance of the track “John I’m Only Dancing” on an album. The song had been previously issued as a stand alone single in 1972. The first 1000 copies of the UK pressing will have the “sax version” of the song, but is replaced with the original version on subsequent re-pressings. “Ziggy Stardust” will also be issued as a single A-side in tandem with the compilations’ release to help promote it. “Changesone” will also be issued briefly on CD in 1985 by RCA, but is quickly withdrawn after Bowie acquires the rights to his master recordings. The album will also spawn a sequel compilation titled “Changestwobowie” released in November of 1981. After both compilations are deleted, another Bowie hits album titled “Changesbowie” featuring tracks from both albums with songs from the “Let’s Dance” and “Tonight” albums (originally released on EMI-America Records) will be released in 1990 while Bowie’s catalog is distributed by Rykodisc. It too will be deleted when the artist’s catalog is licensed to EMI Records worldwide. “Changesonebowie” will peak at #2 on the UK album chart, #10 on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA.

His name is Joe.There was nothing to laugh about considering his whereabouts in the part of town we both stood.Yet as the brisk morning slipped into an afternoon he had somehow found the perfect wall to warm himself.Nothing daunting or horrific jumped out at me when i saw Joe.It was actually the opposite.He was smiling with his head back.Almost like he was soaking up the good life.Next to where he was standing was a black glass window reflecting off even more sunshine.Sometimes your perspective is your reality.

I don’t want to go to sleep
Without you
Anymore
I don’t want to dream the dreams
That haunt me
until day takes over the night -
Winter sun warms the blood like no other. It seeps in deeper, surrounding every atom, every fibre of your being and thaws the frozen heart left by the cold nights spent alone.

Quote reblogged from Library JournalReally, diversity is not about black or white or gay or straight or anything so specific. Diversity is about inclusion. It’s about including everyone in a world that doesn’t just yet. It’s about leading by example, not by lecture. So often, readers don’t need an explanation when it comes to diversity. What they need are characters who are naturally themselves in a story that easily fits them. Seeing those pure examples of diversity, the reader can feel at ease in the real world without having to explain or lecture or look around and question.

Quote reblogged from Literary LustArchaeologists have not yet discovered any stage of human existence without art. Even in the half-light before the dawn of humanity we received this gift from Hands we did not manage to discern. Nor have we managed to ask: Why was this gift given to us and what are we to do with it?
And all those prophets who are predicting that art is disintegrating, that it has used up all its forms, that it is dying, are mistaken. We are the ones who shall die. And art will remain. The question is whether before we perish we shall understand all its aspects and all its ends.Beauty Will Save the World, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (via literarylust)(Source: onancientpaths)

There is a simplicity
to staying at home;
there are no strangers,
anomalous or otherwise
(Though they
seem to always
act methodically;
it’s either a ruse or
a lack of imagination.
I dare not dwell on it
lest I find an answer.),
no skies to
surprise me
with their clouds
or…
