Legendary shapeshifter David Bowie recently gave the U.K.'s Daily Mail a piece of his mind. No, really. He wrote a series of entries reflecting on 12 songs from his lengthy repertoire, detailing dusted-off anecdotes and inspirations with stream-of-consciousness, candid discourse.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsDylan, Bowie, Wilco, MMJ more on Heroes soundtrack
Bob Dylan, David Bowie and a host of others will appear on NBC’s soundtrack to Heroes to be released March 18. Also featured on the compilation will be the New Pornographers, Wilco, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Chemical Brothers and Yerba Buena. Bowie’s song “Heroes” will be featured, natch, as will Dylan’s “Man in the Long Black Coat,” which executive producer Allan Arkush was thrilled about, given the selectivity that Dylan’s representatives usually practice with rights to his songs. Arkush had used Dylan’s work before on “Crossing Jordan.” "We started talking about including music that inspired us--not just music that... read more
Found in: Music, NewsPurchase David Bowie's vampire face
Recently, the artist formerly known as Ziggy Stardust has endorsed a pint-sized band and become a "knitted icon," but the latest news from Camp Bowie might just rip your face off (since, in a way, it rips off his). According to a report from the NME, a white-plaster cast "life mask" of Bowie's visage from the 1983 vampire flick, The Hunger, is up for sale at 911.com. What this means is that if you're willing to pony up just over a grand of your own cash, you'll get a mask that is "amazingly detailed with every wrinkle & pore evident,"... read more
Found in: Music, NewsDavid Bowie's latter years get boxed up
Once a respected artist hits those twilight years, things tend to get a bit rocky. Either it's repeat your old formula for success with diminishing returns, go off on wild experimental tangents, or just croak so that people will start saying nice things about you. David Bowie, of course, never quite followed a traditional career arc. Living up to that old chameleon reputation of his, Bowie's last several albums have continued to function as subtle variations of what came before. He's never quite been stuck in a rut, nor has he gone off in too radical a direction. Columbia Records... read more
Found in: Music, NewsDavid Bowie donates $10,000 to Jena 6 defense fund
Although the story of the Jena Six started over a year ago, it has only recently come to achieve national attention. Now, rock icon David Bowie has contributed $10,000 to a legal defense fund set up to help the Jena Six receive fair trials. In August 2006, a black high school student asked for permission to sit under a tree (known as the "white tree") in downtown Jena, Louisiana. The next day, three nooses appeared on the tree, and the subsequent racial tension among Jena High School students escalated. Last November, six black Jena High students were charged with second-degree... read more
Found in: Music, NewsDavid Bowie Gets Webby
ALthough far better known for his interstellar rock career and gender-bending alter-egos, pop icon David Bowie is also a modern media mogul, and that's the side of him that will be honored on June 5 when he receives a Webby Lifetime Achievement Award. Once called the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times, the Webby Award is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile web sites. Apparently, the "Thin White Duke" has done more than his fair share to promote the arts via the online world,... read more
