    It seems like the stage performance world is determined to have Bowie’s music grace a show come hell or high water. First, it was Ziggy the musical. Next, it was the Bruce Lee story. Now, the Chicago Tap Theatre has finally succeeded in getting Bowie’s music onstage. Starting July 14 and running for the next…

    On my way home from work today, I stopped in to Target to see if I could find a decent pair of denim capri pants since it’s getting hotter and shorts have no stylistic value. I found a pair, checked out the price tag, thought “Wow, that’s cheap, I can get more clothes,” and strolled…

    Iman appeared on the Tyra Banks show on Tuesday, July 4 to share some makeup tips with Tyra and her audience. She also took the opportunity to promote her makeup line Iman, which is wonderful by the way, and to mention what David is up to. After Iman’s tips to the audience, Tyra asked her…

    Our gallery is now back up after our disastrous loss of data a couple of months ago. I have pictures from every era of Bowie’s career organized into folders to reflect the eras. There are over 1000 pictures in there, so I have not yet had a chance to edit all of the captions for…

    Stuff.co.nz has a great article about TV On The Radio. As I’m sure you’ve heard, TV On The Radio is one of Bowie’s newest favorite bands, along with the Secret Machines and the Arctic Monkeys. Anyway, I had the privilege of seeing TVOTR support Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails on the With Teeth Tour at…

    Those London Pink Floyd fans are a bunch of lucky bastards. Bowie made a suprise appearance with Pink Floyd at Royal Albert Hall on Monday, May 29. Apparently the secret was so well kept that even his own webmaster did not know until Bowie personally called him and told him to hustle over. Pink Floyd…

    Silly bit of gossip for you all – while filming The Prestige, Hugh Jackman managed to offend Bowie. According to Jackman in an interview with The Courier-Mail, he told Bowie that the first show he ever bought tickets to was one that Bowie did in Australia in 1981. He then admitted to Bowie that someone…

    “[This will] probably be the last time I will be doing these songs.” “Fuck Off. I’m in Tin Machine.” “I’m fed up with the industry…I’m taking a year off.” In light of Bowie’s recent announcement that he will curate the New York Festival, we see right through that last statement much like we saw through…

    A friend on the illustrious Love and Rockets forum Torched posted a link to the newest ad for Campari. My exact response to the ad was, “Boys Keep Swinging, anyone?” The climactic moment of the ad shows the ‘girl’ removing her lipstick with a swipe of her arm, a la Bowie in the video for…
