Well we saw how good David Bowie looked last week and here's his wife, supermodel Iman, out in New York with their daughter Alexandra Bowie, over the weekend looking equally as amazing. Iman is 54! Looks like they're having a fun girls' day out in the city. How cool it must be to have those two as parents! [Image [...]
The British Royal Mail service commissioned Studio Dempsey to create first class stamps with classic albums covers. The covers include albums from Blur, New Order, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Primal Scream, David Bowie, The Clash, Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd, and Coldplay -but no Beatles. The final selection of ten sleeves (which perhaps oddly doesn’t feature [...]
Play family-friendly music games like Lego Rock Band and Band Hero and you’ll play along to songs by rock superstars like David Bowie, Elton John and Queen. But you and your kids will also get stuck rocking to some of contemporary music industry’s dullest offerings. Last week, MTV and Activision each released a kid-friendly version of their [...]
Dennis Dutton’s Arts & Letters Daily has a heap o’ links, and Ross Douthat has a good column. Let’s party like it’s 1989 with songs about the Berlin Wall: David Bowie: Heroes, 1977: Video / Lyrics (and here’s a terrific live version video, supposedly from a show in Berlin in 2002; it doesn’t have as much of [...]
Twenty years in the blink of an eye. Before the Wall came down, though , Berlin was a dark Mecca for artists. David Bowie and Iggy Pop created some of their most compelling work while living in Berlin in the mid-to-late 70s: Low, "Heroes," Lodger, The Idiot, Lust for Life. Kraftwerk was ratcheting up their electronic sound simultaneously with Trans-Europe Express (1977): From station to station...

So apparently it's like nearly a new decade or something. Or maybe not. I still get confused with the 9s and the 0s and so forth as to what is numerically proper. But anyhoo, many bloggers lately have been making with the decade-end lists , and you know I love a good list. So how about my Favorite 20 Records of the 2000s'* *By the way I think it's really really weird that now that the decade is nearly...
One day this August we were visiting Morbegno, a pretty town in the Valtellina. We stopped for a light lunch in a bar selling re-heated pizza. The radio was playing. ‘Ah!’ I said, catching the distinctive opening chords of Jean Genie, ‘David Bowie!’ The next track was also Bowie – Ashes to Ashes. And the [...]
A couple of recommendations. On October 6th Lily and I went to a performance by Methera , and it was outstanding. From the official website: Methera unites the rich texture of the string quartet with the depth and integrity of traditional music from England and beyond. Four fine young musicians with individual traditional styles weave old and contemporary tunes into the tapestry of the string quartet,...
David Bowie -’Low’ (RCA, 1977) I actually ended up picking up Low in Holland on the same family holiday in 1994 that I got Ocean Rain. Odd, I guess, as Holland isn’t particularly regarded as a great place for vinyl enhusiasts (though Germany I do recommend). But from that trip came the Bowie album above all [...]
I'm experiencing major LADY GAGA love right now! Though I've always enjoyed the music and many of her performances, I've never really watched many of her interviews. I've been checking more out recently and enjoying hear her talk about her art and the musicians she admires like DAVID BOWIE . It's nice to see someone out there with great artistic reference points who is clearly passionate about music....
Say you're a glamorous media type who gets invited to fascinating, star-studded events, and you need a buddy to bring as an accomplice. A buddy who laughs loudly and wears an outlandish costume and/or matches your colors. I am that buddy . It's good to have me around, because I'm not competing for your job -- I'm just there to be agreeable. Wednesday night saw me and Rohin at SoHo's Agent Provocateur...
This makes a great retro present for anyone who vaguely remembers it's original launch. But I can't understand why there isn't a small music book, just a few sheets so that you can have a go at a couple of tunes. That would have made it more fun, because to be honest you probably wouldn't give this to someone who's musically gifted. ••▷••▷••▷ Click to See Stylophone The Original Pocket Electronic Organ...
Twilight hottie Cam Giagandet shops in Los Angeles with his family looking hot. Yeah. David Bowie is in SoHo . Imagine walking down the street and seeing David freakin Bowie?? That would be surreal, no?

You may think platform shoes are something straight out of contemporary pop culture, but you’d be wrong. Platform shoes have a rich and varied history that begins in the theaters of Ancient Greece. Tragic actors would often don platform sandals with wood or cork soles. This added height was reserved for characters of particular importance or nobility. The practice was adopted by the Romans who called...
