So it took a little more work than expected, but I'm happy I kept at it after the first couple of blunders. The researchers have parsed the whole of Wiktionary and other sources, and compiled everything into a single unified resource. That's when I stumbled across the UBY project - an amazing project which needs more recognition. However, after a day's work wrangling it into a database I realised that there were far too many errors (especially with the part-of-speech tagging) for it to be viable for Word Type.įinally, I went back to Wiktionary - which I already knew about, but had been avoiding because it's not properly structured for parsing. This caused me to investigate the 1913 edition of Websters Dictionary - which is now in the public domain. I initially started with WordNet, but then realised that it was missing many types of words/lemma (determiners, pronouns, abbreviations, and many more). The dictionary is based on the amazing Wiktionary project by wikimedia. And since I already had a lot of the infrastructure in place from the other two sites, I figured it wouldn't be too much more work to get this up and running. I had an idea for a website that simply explains the word types of the words that you search for - just like a dictionary, but focussed on the part of speech of the words. Both of those projects are based around words, but have much grander goals. The entire session was released on the 2022 box set Divine Symmetry.For those interested in a little info about this site: it's a side project that I developed while working on Describing Words and Related Words. They performed seven songs: ‘The Supermen’, ‘Oh! You Pretty Things’/ ‘Eight Line Poem’, ‘Kooks’, ‘Fill Your Heart’, ‘Amsterdam’, and ‘Andy Warhol’. It was Bowie’s only 1970s BBC radio session to be recorded in stereo. It was recorded on 21 September 1971, and first broadcast on 4 October, in the period between the completion of Hunky Dory and its release.įor this session Bowie and Mick Ronson performed as a duo. ![]() The second BBC version was for Sounds Of The 70s, presented by Bob Harris. The full session, apart from ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’, was released on the 2021 album The Width Of A Circle. They recorded fifteen songs: ‘Amsterdam’, ‘God Knows I’m Good’, ‘Buzz The Fuzz’, ‘Karma Man’, ‘London Bye Ta-Ta’, ‘An Occasional Dream’, ‘The Width Of A Circle’, ‘Janine’, ‘Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud’, ‘Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed’, ‘Fill Your Heart’, ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’, ‘The Prettiest Star’, and ‘Cygnet Committee’. He was accompanied by Mick Ronson on guitar, Tony Visconti on bass, and John Cambridge on drums. The first was for The Sunday Show, recorded on 5 February 1970 and broadcast three days later on Radio 1. BBC recordingsĭavid Bowie recorded ‘Fill Your Heart’ on two occasions for BBC radio. In the latter’s place, ‘Bombers’ segued into the spoken introduction to ‘Andy Warhol’.Ī live version from Aylesbury in September 1971 was included in the 2022 box set Divine Symmetry, along with a BBC radio version and a 2021 remix. A pre-release acetate of Hunky Dory omitted ‘Eight Line Poem’ and ‘Fill Your Heart’.
