The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust
Bowie sure has had a strange effect on some people. Saul Williams has created a “piece” based somehow on Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust apparently. Now, I’m not sure if this some kind of reference to Bowie per se, or, it’s Trent Reznor’s influence on Saul. Kind of hard to tell since the only overt reference to anyone else seems to be the song Sunday Bloody Sunday
I might just give this one a shot. If nothing else, I am curious.
A sidenote, Saul is doing the radiohead thingy whereby you can download his stuff either for free or make a donation. I love this. I really do. Do the right thing peeps and make this work. The sooner music isn’t dominated by the RCAs and Sonys the sooner we’ll get back to real music that makes people learn and think.
