    According to the ridiculous site Love Gods Way, David Bowie is one on a long list of bands that might slyly turn you or your children *gasp* gay. No seriously, look at the list on the site. Then take a look at the list of the “safe” bands. If you listen to the Dresden Dolls,…

    Elizabeth Goodman of Rolling Stone wrote a brief article recounting her roommate’s cab ride with David Bowie. The poor girl had been caught in the rain in the middle of Manhattan when the Bowie drove by in a cab like a Duke in Thin White armor and offered her a ride. During the cab ride…

    Searches for more information about the High Line Festival, pointless as they are endless, have yielded two wee rumors about Bowie’s next projects following the festival. Ben Rayner of TheStar.com has hinted that “Bowie’s forthcoming album could be a bracing confrontation with mortality, à la Dylan’s Time Out of Mind.” And you thought he was…

    Some sites like MusicNews.com have suggested that Arcade Fire and TV on the Radio will be the headliners at the High Line Festival, but I think it still leans further toward a rumor than a fact. The two are clearly David Bowie favorites so it’s reasonable to assume that he’d include them at the top…

    Found an Italian gaming site that listed a bunch of XBox 360 games which are due for release later this year and Omikron KARMA was on it. For those wondering what that has to do with Bowie, Omikron: The Nomad Soul was a 3D role-playing game developed by Quantic Dream back in 1999 to which…

    Peter Haywood recently self-published his debut novel, Catch A Falling Star.  The novel tells of the life of Nicholas Walpole, a Bowie-obsessed young man growing up in Melbourne in the early 1980’s moves into a big, ramshackle share house in Lygon Street, Carlton with a bunch of musician friends, forms a band, and dreams of…

    If you’re not a Bowienet subscriber, you might still be under the impression that David Bowie will be performing at the New York City High Line Festival this spring. After all, the official announcement on Bowienet that was made nearly nine months ago stated that Bowie will not only be curating the festival, but the…
