    Daniel Johnston, one of the artists who has already confirmed that he is playing the High Line Festival after being personally selected by Bowie, is allegedly going to be doing his High Line set with Bowie according to Pitchfork. At the bottom of the article where his live dates are listed, there is a notation…

    Woo-hoo! I finally managed to add the lyrics to all songs currently listed in the wiki. If anyone notices any song that I missed or any glaring errors, please feel free to let me know. As I come across songs that appear on any bootlegs or official albums that are not currently on the list,…

    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…

    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…
