To celebrate his 66th birthday, David Bowie issued a new track and announced a new album that will be released in March. It's his new record in a decade and while Bowie hasn't been an A-list creative artist for many a year, he's still Bowie, and any new music is worth a listen.
Meanwhile, Duluth stalwarts Low issued the first song from their new album, The Invisible Way - their tenth - called "Just Make it Stop." It's a pretty tune, merging the chilly angst that has long been the band's calling card with an almost bright melody as a counterpoint. The band has been one of the most intriguing on the Minnesota scene for the past two decades and a new album is something worth celebrating.
Elsewhere, I spent most of yesterday on the job, so the distractions were few and far between. I did manage to make it through a couple hundred more pages of The Path of Daggers (lots and lots of talking to skim over) and oddly found myself fully engaged while watching the Timberwolves play. It's not that I don't enjoy basketball, but I usually can tune it out when I'm doing something else. Maybe it's the underdog aspect - the team is basically making a go with nine healthy players right now and their biggest star (Kevin Love) is out with a broken hand - or the back and forth was just hypnotizing for an evening. That they won helped. I don't expect the same tonight, as they run into the buzzsaw in Oklahoma City. (This has been your weekly sports report, now back to the regularly scheduled nerdage).
