Namely, the fact that a few weeks before I rambled on about Metal Gear Solid here (spoilers, I am now playing through Metal Gear Solid (just got to disc 2, and it is such a shorter game than I remember but also so good in a way that I find difficult to articulate: the bombast of later entries is here, but it's understated a bit more (most likely more due to technical limitations than a lack of vision on Kojima's part) and somehow the controls are tight as hell in spite of being ancient - although this is 100% just me saying that because I know the controls instinctively at this point) I was working on a writing project and, casting about for some music that would fit the vibes of what I was trying to accomplish, I threw on David Bowie's BLACKSTAR, aka "hey what if I make an album about the fact that I am about to die and also make it arguably one of the best albums I've ever done?"
David Bowie and Metal Gear Solid are inextricably linked for me - which shouldn't be surprising, as Kojima was shoehorning Bowie references into the series starting with MGS2 (and arguably reaching its apotheosis in MGSV), and inevitably any time I start diving through Bowie's albums again it is only a matter of time until I have to play some damn Metal Gear.
Which is to say that most recently, which is to say at this precise moment in time, I put on Earthling and my god sometimes I forget that Bowie just... made an album with a bunch of break beats on it. Also Afraid of Americans, which is the only song of Bowie's I remember really being a Big Deal post-like... Let's Dance? "Big Deal" here means "I heard it on the radio at all, ever" which for Ohio is the only way I heard shit until I got deep into Napster a few years later. Anyway you should listen to Earthling, it's a good album.
