Bring Me the Disco King, Mr. Atkins


Bringing this year's Bowie Week to a close with possibly my favorite song by him, the closing track from 2005's Reality. I have a short story I wrote around the time this album came out that pertains to the mood and abstractions in this song, a time-traveling hitman stuck killing time in the 70s waiting for his target, the titular Disco King. I haven't even looked at it in probably twenty years; maybe one day soon.

I've probably posted this track here before. However, there is a very specific reason I'm posting it again now. Tune in tomorrow. 



Watch:

Holy smokes - haven't been online all that much this weekend, so I just caught wind of this now, thanks to Bloody Disgusting:


I grabbed mine; I still hadn't upgraded my old DVD copy of Night of the Creeps, so this is fantastic news. Granted, I don't own nor have any plans to get a 4K tv or player, however, I believe this comes with a standard BR as well. If not, I'll find a home for it and grab the BR separately. I'm really just here for Mr. Atkins.

Order from Shout Factory HERE.
