    This week Criterion finally released it’s first set of blu-ray discs, which included The Man Who Fell To Earth.  The L.A. Times has given it a good review, commenting that the special features including a commentary, interviews, and documentary make it worth the money.  And assuming that it is the uncensored version, it would also…

    Update #3:  It is official.  The War Child album to which David Bowie is contributing his song “Heroes” to be covered by TV On The Radio will be postponed until 2009 due to more artists showing interest.  Maybe we’ll get a double disc?  *hopes*

    Update #1: In my previous post about the upcoming War Child album “Heroes”, I reported that the song David Bowie was contributing had not been released yet.   The official word from BowieNet is that the song will be….wait for it….don’t want to ruin the surprise….”Heroes“!  I know, right?

    I know we bitch a lot on this site about the seemingly never-ending stream of David Bowie covers…either that or we ignore them like the latest Cat Power cover. However, the newest cover will be featured on the album Heroes being released on November 24 by the charity War Child. So I don’t even have…

    Here’s one for the “More To Own” section. Back in March EMI announced plans to try and squeeze a new revenue stream out of David Bowie’s back catalogue.

    …You can now fill in those days where you have to wear *gasp* non-Bowie t-shirts with a brand spankin’ new shirt.  Funny t-shirt site TeesMyBody now has a new David Bowie in Space shirt.  The front of the shirt shows a cartoonish illustration of Aladdin Sane floating away from his spaceship in a spacesuit.  I…
