    I know I tread dangerous and controversial waters by addressing this, but the Bowienet news item for May 16 entitled Five Years…That’s All We’ve Got has nothing whatsoever to do with David Bowie or his current projects and everything to do with the news editor’s political, non-Bowie related views.

    Amid all the hullabaloo about the bands playing the High Line Festival and the Spanish film exposition, we have not heard much about the visual artists who are exhibiting their work.  NY1 News steps up to the plate a bit to give us a brief comment and description of the work of Laurie McCleod.  McCleod…

    Some of you may remember that we reported on a rumor that David Bowie and Sting were teaming up to open a burlesque club in Manhattan. No? Don’t remember? Here’s the link. According to the New York Observer and backed up by Gawker, the deal is back on now that Bowie, Sting, and Forty Deuce…

    BowieNet is featuring a few words from David Bowie himself on last night’s Arcade Fire show. WireImage also has two pictures of David and Iman at the show. I love the picture of Iman – she looks like she’s having a ton of fun! Anyway, as always David’s description is very eloquent but for a…

    This one is a head-scratcher for me too. This week the Webmaster and I came across two stories about Michael C. Luckman‘s Signals to Space Concerts. Luckman plans to hold music festivals in Tokyo, Berlin, New York, China, Russia, Mexico and London and beam the music out into space for extraterrestrial beings to hear. The…
