    David and Iman attended the Tribeca Film Festival Vanity Fair party on April 26th. See today’s Bowienet news for a cracking photograph of them in all their glamour. Normally I wouldn’t link to a Bowienet blurb since there’s not much information in them, but it was the only article I could find with a decent…

    R. Paul Matthews at Aversion.com wrote an excellent review of the Serious Moonlight DVD. And he managed to do it without using the word “chameleon.” He pretty much says it all, so I’ll shut up and just give you the link: R. Paul Matthews’ review of Serious Moonlight.

    Man, you gotta love the tabloids. The title to the article Iman forces David Bowie to change diet after heart attack tries to whip up scandal where there is none. At first the reader might think, “Oh, that horrible Iman!” But if you actually read the article, she’s just making sure that one of rock’s…

    Paul Weller, winner of the Brits Lifetime Achievement Award, recently bashed Bowie in an interview with Uncut Magazine. He stated, “Wrong! I like about three records of his. The rest of it’s pish” when Bowie’s recent Recording Academy Lifetime Acheivement Award was mentioned. Maybe he’s been taking Bowie-bashing lessons from Morrissey. A review of the…

    According to Musicmen.co.uk Bowie is scheduled to release an album in mid-2006. Whether this is simply another compilation, reissue, a DVD, or a brand-new album the site does not say. Take this for what it is – simply a glimmer of hope at a totally new album. Here’s hoping for 2. Contamination.

    An online acquaintance asked an interesting question today – what Bowie song would I like to see Peter Murphy cover? The first song that popped into my head was “We Prick You.” This is a creepy song from a dark and imposing album (not to mention my all-time favorite album). Peter’s “cavernous baritone” would be…
