    For the past year the Webmaster and I have been through many life changes, all which served to pull us away from updating this site.  Between a move, lay off, new job, pregnancy, and finally a new baby girl we let this site simply be an archival site.  But, fear not, David Bowie fans!  We…

    In the gallery, some of you will be very pleased to find that we now have some David Bowie iPhone wallpapers for your enjoyment. To get all the legal stuff out of the way, none of these photos are mine and I take no credit for them. I simply sized and formatted them. As with…

    A British think-tank, the New Local Government Network, recently released a report encouraging local British governments to name streets and local landmarks after hometown celebrities and heroes.  The author of the report, James Hulme, suggests that Manchester could name a park after David Beckham, Edinburgh could name a library after J.K. Rowling, Birmingham could name…

    I’ve been playing with the plug-ins for this site for the past hour and have added a few things.  Most importantly, there is a new system of user registration.  New users can set their own password, have a couple more fields they can fill out, and must complete a captcha.  My time is better spent…

    As Rorschach would say, hurm. I’m not exactly sure of the purpose of the article written by Dan Cairn for the Times-Online, but nevertheless he has chosen David Bowie’s Space Oddity as the Song of the Year for 1969. Despite the fact that Cairn briefly gives play to the mistaken interpretation that Space Oddity is…

    Sometimes stormy days can be fruitful. Since Tropical Storm Fay has made it impossible to work or even safely go outside (hah, see what I did there? Outside?!), I’ve taken the opportunity to dig through my list of unread David Bowie-related stuff that has piled up on this busy week. Lo and behold, I’ve come…

    I’ve been debating with myself for several days now whether or not I wanted to make this post and show my ignorance of a Bowie obscurity that any fansite owner worth their salt should know. But then I remembered I have no shame and decided let everyone know what a terrible Bowie fan I am…

    Since I have a love of gossip and I feel like any Bowie gossip or rumors should be addressed as such, I created a category to catch all of the gossip and rumors that fly around the intertubes about David Bowie.  The new category is Rumors, Lies, Stories They Made Up.  Now you won’t have…

    Thanks to the eagle eyes of David Phipps, several photos that were misnamed, misplaced, or both have been fixed.  I moved and renamed several pictures in the Diamond Dogs, Station to Station, Berlin Years, Young Americans, and Scary Monsters galleries.  So have a look and, if you’re old enough to remember those eras, take a…

    Thanks to a late night at work last night with nothing to do, the gallery is now complete! All pictures have been given descriptive captions and placed in the correct albums. Where I could find photographic credit for the pictures, I placed it either in the caption or the description. If you wish to use…
