David Bowie: The next thread and the next thread...

[cobl04]

Do love the idea of the Nothing is Changed 3CD, with its backwards chronology and obscure picks, but how you can have a Bowie retrospective with only one track from Low and "Heroes" is fucking beyond me.

 

[iron yuppie]

Well damn, Sue and Tis a Pity are two of the more inventive tracks I've heard this year. Both are superior to anything on The Next Day, I would argue. Probably no one will agree with that.

 

[cobl04]

I would very nearly agree. They're awesome.

 

[RaisedByWolves]

Just bought the Vinyl version today! Check it out.

 

[prbiker15]

Wow, 'Tis a Pity is pretty fucking great.

Sue and Tis a Pity are two of the more inventive tracks I've heard this year. Both are superior to anything on The Next Day

[LemonMelon]

Time, Lady Grinning Soul, Joe the Lion, Beauty & the Beast and Drive-In Saturday are disgustingly underrated on that list.

And Modern Love was overlooked entirely, which is just bizarre.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

eww, too much ziggy stardust.

Spoiler

sorry, i think it's waaaaaay too overrated of an album.

 

[cobl04]

Interesting they got the same top two we did.

Fuck how great is the chorus to Drive-In Saturday.

 

[lazarus]

Interesting they got the same top two we did.

Or not surprising, considering THE HIVE.

 

[djerdap]

No Moss Garden? Sunday? Strangers When We Meet?

Meh.

 

[bono_212]

Moss Garden!

 

[PhilsFan]

65. Teenage Wildlife

[jimmmm]

Buggar me! can't believe I missed out Starman, I'd put that at 19, & every song below that automatically move down 1 place.

 

[deep]

This could be good

Bowie to bring space epic to New York stage

 

[iron yuppie]

New album in January, apparently. Sounds like a continuation of the slightly-avant sounds of "Sue" and "Tis a Pity She Was a Whore," which is cool by me.

David Bowie to release “oddest” album yet, Blackstar, in January | Consequence of Sound

 

[cobl04]

I am of course down for absolutely anything he does but an album in that vein would be amazing, I love both those songs a great deal.

 

[prbiker15]

This. Looking forward to it.

 

[bono_212]

Now tour.

 

[bono_212]

Oh my God...the one minute we get of this song is just....my God. He's....something else.

 

[cobl04]

The description has me extremely excited.

If he toured... I think he's the only artist (now I've seen Outkast) who I'd drop a thousand on.

 

[LemonMelon]

Random Bowie Talk: the guitar solo at the end of Teenage Wildlife is fucking incredible.

I'm surprised and disappointed that Bowie and Robert Fripp collaborated so infrequently. He is a big part of what makes the Scary Monsters album work so well.

 

[PhilsFan]

Teenage Wildlife might be on my Bowie Rushmore.

 

[Joey788]

Fantastic song. My second favorite song on that album, after the title track. As for Rushmore:

Scary Monsters
Golden Years
Beauty and the Beast
The Next Day

My Rushmore Rushmore:

Bill Murray
Jason Schwartzman
Wes Anderson
Alexis Bledel

 

[cobl04]

A Bowie Rushmore, ehhhhhhyyyy...

(in no partic. order)

"Heroes" / A New Career in a New Town / Lady Stardust / Life on Mars

I think I'll go and buy Outside this week. Of all the albums I heard for the first time during our second Bowie Survivor (but the only one that didn't have a pathetic midway fail, not naming names), that was the one that struck me quite a bit.

 

[prbiker15]

Album out on January 8th.

I just realized this thread existed. I posted the video in the RM thread.
