For this, my top ten Bowie songs picks, it’s my third rodeo! As the blog’s made a bit of a comeback (for now, who knows?!), it seemed like a fun thing to reprise.
I did this the first time on November 9th 2003. I took a second shot on August 20th 2013.

I think we should officially nominate bugs as supremely cool creatures.
Silliness aside, I guess I do find the idea of real alien life kinda fascinating and exciting, even if it is only bugs. The evidence is being disputed already, so it could still be a bogus lead. But it’s an intriguing possibility.
