    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…

    After nearly a month of hearing rumors that Bowie is not playing at the High Line Festival, the Webmaster and I finally caved in and paid for a Bowienet subscription to see if the news blurb announcing that Bowie is not playing the High Line Festival was indeed hidden from the average site viewer with…

    The Webmaster and I have decided to add a ‘Link Exchange’ section to the Links page. It is basically a place to exchange links with other Bowie fan sites. For example, in order for VH1 to link to us we have to first link to them. So if you would like us to add your…

    The Academy posted the list of nominations for the 79th Annual Academy Awards. Alas, Bowie is not listed as a nominee for his supporting role as Nikola Tesla in “The Prestige.” Ah well, that’s just the sort of blinkered, philistine pig-ignorance that we’ve come to expect from that non-creative garbage. But the Academy did nominate…

    The UK Metro newspaper published this half-baked article in yesterday’s edition. In the article they claim that Jermaine Jackson caused trouble with his former wives by maintaining a friendship with Bowie’s ex-wife Iman. Now, I ask you, where has the Metro been for the past twelve years?! There is no excuse for this type of…

    There have been a slew of articles published about Bowie starting a few days before his 60th birthday, but I wanted to share two of my favorites.  Andy Gill did an excellent piece in The Independent and Bowie’s hometown rag the Bromley Times published some fond remembrances from fans.  Both are great reads.

    I did a bit of research on the aforementioned Fact 42 and thought that the fact was misleading enough to warrant it’s own blog entry.  According to reliable sources such as David Buckley and Christopher Sandford, Vince Taylor was one of many influences on not only the song Ziggy Stardust but the entire album as…

    BBC News published this rather entertaining article with 60 facts about Bowie that you may or may not know.  And thank the Lord, they got the details about his right eye correct.  I was surprised to find out that I did not previously know fact number 26.  Also, I’ve not heard fact number 42 before…

    The Daily Mail reports that Bowie is on the radar of the Academy of Motion Pictures for a possible Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his role as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige. Nothing will be official until January 23, 2007 when the nominations are announced by the Academy, so for now this is…

    Today Bowie turns 60 years old, but is no where close to being “over the hill.”  However there will be no wild parties that recreate the bacchanalia of the mid-70s.  Bowie told interviewers that he plans on having a quiet night with his family around the dinner table set with a home-cooked meal of shepherd’s…
