    On Sunday April 8, Tim O’Reilly, the CEO of O’Reilly Media, proposed a Blogging Code of Conduct that he hopes to have posted on bloggingcode.org. The purpose of the code of conduct is to repress personal attacks on blogs. Why am I posting about this here? The news portion of this site is technically a…

    For those of you, like me, who looked at the venue list for the High Line Festival and wondered to yourself, “This is scattered across multiple venues? How exactly is this considered a festival associated with the High Line?” and were too lazy to look at the geography, David Bowie himself answered part of that…

    According to the ridiculous site Love Gods Way, David Bowie is one on a long list of bands that might slyly turn you or your children *gasp* gay. No seriously, look at the list on the site. Then take a look at the list of the “safe” bands. If you listen to the Dresden Dolls,…

    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 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…

    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…

    In an interview with Hello Magazine (relayed via Digital Spy), Iman commented that there is a possibility that she and David will move back to London in a few years.  She says that although David loves New York City that he gets homesick for his hometown London.  Hopefully a move to London will not mean…
