    Hear that? That’s the sound of me rejoicing over Iman’s new jewelry line. In designing pieces for Global Chic, Iman drew inspiration from various bits of jewelry collected from China, Africa, India, Bali, and her own vintage engagement ring. Iman said in an interview with Vogue that a woman is never fully dressed if she…

    Music memorabilia site 991.com is selling a one-of-a-kind bit of Bowie memorabilia.  For a scant $1000 or so, a Bowie fan can buy the life mask made of Bowie’s face during The Hunger.  The mask was used to test out makeup for the movie.  I tell ya, if I had $1000 to burn I’d buy…

    For those of you getting a jump on your holiday shopping, hop over to Chuck Hammer’s iTunes store and consider getting your loved ones some gorgeous guitar music.  Or for that matter, getting a little present for yourself.  The man behind the guitar riffs on Ashes to Ashes, Teenage Wildlife, and a few Lou Reed…

    Every time I turn around there is another music-related list made. VH1 has turned into the List Network and barely shows videos anymore. Rolling Stone must release a gross of lists and slap each on their cover every year. The Herald Sun is no stranger to the trend, having just released a new list of…

    It was only a matter of time, really. With the advent of Guitar Queer-o, ahem, I mean Guitar Hero and the ability to virtually learn to play guitar riffs in popular songs, it is to be expected that David Bowie’s music would show up in a similar game. And it has. The makers of Rock…

    According to PR Newswire, David Bowie will design a lunchbox to benefit the Food Bank For New York City and The Lunchbox Fund of South Africa. However, the official site for the auction does not list him among the artists who have contributed. I assume the report was an error on the part of PR…

    With a voice that sounded like Dr. Frank N Furter’s eccentric great-uncle, David Bowie made his cartoon voice-acting debut to the tune of nine million viewers. The sizeable audience made Atlantis SquarePantis, SpongeBob’s first TV movie, the top-rated cable program of the evening. Bowie’s character, Lord Royal Highness (or L.R.H. to his friends) was one…

    Has anyone noticed the lack of mention on this blog of the newest Bowie box set?  You have?  That’s awesome.  Because I’m pointedly ignoring it.  I love Bowie and his music.  The Webmaster loves Bowie and his music.  Everyone who frequents this site loves Bowie and his music.  And box sets are great for new…

    I always love to read other people’s stories on how Bowie has influenced or changed their lives. What I love even more is to read how Bowie fans have spread their love of Bowie and made an impression on someone else’s life. Carrie Stetler of The Star-Ledger recently wrote a great opinion piece about playing…
