That's no shadow. It's a lollipop.

I'm floating in a most peculiar way and the stars look very different today, so I'm really getting a kick out of this.

/planet earth is blue
//nothing I can do
///and I know it's the wrong song

happy birthday funny clown suit man.

The BBC show Life On Mars got me back into Bowies music after years. I hope all is well after his health problems last year. Heart attack if I recall.

Proto mullet or glammullet?

All hail to the Thin White Duke

That's when he made The Man Who Fell To Earth. One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.

Approve.

Also approve.

I will listen to Bowie all day to celebrate. And maybe make a pass at someone of indeterminate gender.

A few favorites... (all pops)

The original promo film for Space Oddity

On the Dick Cavett Show: Young Americans

On the Heroes Tour, with Adrian Belew on guitar: Suffragette City. I saw him on this tour (the night after seeing Lou Reed); he did a set of stuff from Low and Heroes, then came back for a set of "hits" -- pretty great stuff. I've got a 45 of him doing "Heroes" in German.

Always like his collaboration with Queen on Under Pressure. Great video, too.

Funny clip of Iggy being interviewed by Dinah Shore with Bowie cracking up in the background. Can't find any complete clips of them performing there -- they did a great version of "Funtime."

That original Space Oddity is so much more upbeat than the one I have off a greatest hits album. I'm kind of a young Bowie fan, liked his stuff, saw Labyrinth and fell in love(he's my man crush, and I'm pretty damn straight otherwise). *cough*

But yeah, once I start getting my money in tech school, its going to buying the rest of his albums.

Thanks for the links.

Says you. I think Hours is a fantastic album that most people overlooked.

Soumac: Proto mullet or glammullet?

Rock Mullet I think is the proper term.

But how fitting, I'm wearing my David Bowie shirt today.

Bowie's first single, "Space Oddity," was released in 1969--you FAIL!

/Arcade Fire?
//Seriously?
///You do know that they weren't even born when Bowie started, right?

/John , I'm only Trolling

all im saying is, know your vampires...


And oh no... David Bowie never took an ARCADE FIRE song and put it on his new album as one of his own...

And he originated than adroginous look all by himself

This.


I am going to put on Heathen right now to celebrate his birthday.

Legendary Stardust Cowboy is paralyzed to hear the news of Bowie's birthday. Paraaaaalyzed! Yeeeeeeeeehoooooo.

/didja ever wonder where the Ziggy Stardust name came from? Iggy Pop + Legendary Stardust Cowboy

Chariset: All hail to the Thin White Duke

This.

No wonder the guy was so weird back then. He had a concussion. Look at the different sized pupils.

/We have also found the inspiration for Frank N Furter.

Isn't that Jamie Lee Curtis?

Just kidding, he's one of my favorites.

Here is a video of Bowie singing Legendary Stardust Cowboy's "I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spacecraft". And he did it better...

cleanie: Scary


Let's Dance is a good dance record, Tonight and Never Let Me Down are pretty much god awful exception of a few tracks like Loving the Alien and Day in, Day out.

However Black Tie, White Noise is decent and everything from 1993-the present is fantastic.

The Buddha of Suburbia, Outside, Earthling, Hours, Heathen, and Reality are all really good albums. Outside, Earthling, and Hours didn't sell well as it was fashionable to dislike Bowie in the 90s. If you give his recent albums a few listens it's really apparent how good they are. I actually prefer alot of his newer stuff to his 70s stuff.

I think David Bowie is the number one cause of people starting sentences with the words "I'm not gay, but..."

AaaPha: Approve.

The Guv would never listen to that puff tosser!!!


/awesome show!

Amazing production values put into that video

Tin Machine?

How like a god!

"Life on Mars" is probably my favorite Bowie song, but that film is a saddening bore.

Martstar: "Life on Mars" is probably my favorite Bowie song, but that film is a saddening bore.

I bet you didnt even bother to see it 10 times or more.
Probably my favorite too.

Have all you Bowie fans seen Life Aquatic?
Talk about an unexpected bonus...
