Flight of the Conchords

Sometimes life throws curves at you that you don’t really see coming.  Sometimes those curves change your life in deep, profound ways.  This is not one of those. My son has been fascinated with Concords.  The airplane that doesn’t fly anymore.  He particularly LOVES the crash video.  He buys toy Concords just to re-enact the [...]

All the Young Dudes by Bruce Dickinson

I LOVED Iron Maiden in the 80′s.  Metal wise, they were very good, but normal.  What set them apart was Bruce Dickinson’s vocals.  The dude could belt it out with true authority.  That honestly is something most metal bands lack.  Growling and snarling is just a way to fake the fact you can’t sing.  Bruce [...]

Apparently the Chinese love Bowie too

Saw this pic today: I’ve actually been following it for a week or two I guess.  Nothing terribly exciting about it other than it’s the Chinese circling the Moon.  That’s kinda new.  Now, this to me is where it gets kinda weird.  Wanna guess the name of their ship?  Chang’e One. Now, for the newer [...]

Lulu Who Sold The World

For today’s consumption, and an easy one at that, is Lulu doing The Man Who Sold The World.  There are several versions of her performing the song, but this one is my favorite.  Lulu originally remade this in 1974.  Doubt it was much of a hit, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the studio version.  [...]

Paul, is only dancing

Been a while since I’ve done anything here.  Shame too, it’s the most fun blogging I do probably.  So, let’s get back in the swing again.  Here’s Paul Westerberg doing a Bowie classic:

Kashmir’s Memory of a Free Festival

Was obviously looking for something completely different, but stumbled on this in the process.  This is a band called Kashmir or something to that effect doing Memory of a Free Festival.  This is one of my fave’s and one I have remixed as well.  For the most part, I think I like their interpretation better.  [...]

Vanishing into the vast ether…..

Love this video made by my occasional bud sparkalot. Watch it closely, it has a lot of embedded meaning. We’ll discuss those myriad of interpretations in the comments if you choose. Until then, let’s watch: Yeah, it’s short.

Youtube brings out the Bowie in all of us apparently.

I like Youtube. I like it for several reasons. One of the main reasons is the format allows otherwise unknown people to broadcast their talent to the world. No longer do we have to rely on RCA or Sony to present the talent they want to market. It’s all out there. I’ve featured several amateurs [...]

David Bowie M&M’s

The author of the Blog of Eternal Stench had a thought….. What would Bowie look like as an M&M? Well, not being content to simply ponder the idea. SHE made it happen! ( My apologies! ) Perfect. Quickie update: I was very curious as to how someone could to Bowie albums and totally skip the [...]
