    Searches for more information about the High Line Festival, pointless as they are endless, have yielded two wee rumors about Bowie’s next projects following the festival. Ben Rayner of TheStar.com has hinted that “Bowie’s forthcoming album could be a bracing confrontation with mortality, à la Dylan’s Time Out of Mind.” And you thought he was…

  • What About Arcade Fire and TVOTR at the High Line Festival?

    Some sites like MusicNews.com have suggested that Arcade Fire and TV on the Radio will be the headliners at the High Line Festival, but I think it still leans further toward a rumor than a fact. The two are clearly David Bowie favorites so it’s reasonable to assume that he’d include them at the top…

    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…

    Found an Italian gaming site that listed a bunch of XBox 360 games which are due for release later this year and Omikron KARMA was on it. For those wondering what that has to do with Bowie, Omikron: The Nomad Soul was a 3D role-playing game developed by Quantic Dream back in 1999 to which…

    If you’re not a Bowienet subscriber, you might still be under the impression that David Bowie will be performing at the New York City High Line Festival this spring. After all, the official announcement on Bowienet that was made nearly nine months ago stated that Bowie will not only be curating the festival, but the…

    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 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.

    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…
