The Thin White Duke, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie...

Promiscuous Anglerfish: David Bowie vs. Kanye Westby Mark Asch • May 21, 2009There are several ways we might go about demonstrating that hip-hop, not rock (or country, or old-time folk, or jazz, or blues, or chamber, or orchestral classical music, or opera, or musical theater, or mainstream radio pop, or whatever else you might name as a world unto itself), is the dominant form of today's Ameri...

Music News - David Bowie has checked in and he's in Berlin working on new material ! He said in a Twitter message: "Cheers from a snowy Berlin! Working on some new material !". We're assuming it really is him Twittering. But, we're not sure that head of celebrity Twitter verification, Jonathan Ross, has confirmed the message yet. This would mark Bowie's return to the city that inspir...

You can read my Bowie review at:http://treblezine.com/reviews/2917-David_Bowie_iSelect.htmlDavid BowieiSelectAstralwerks2008My first ever memory of David Bowie was seeing him dressed up in the sorrowful pierrot's costume on Mars in the video for "Ashes to Ashes." He looked like an alien but there was something about his voice and the lyrics that stuck with me. He seemed otherworldly and strange...

Post the Changesbowie album release of what is arguably definitive early Bowie, this is one of my favorite latter day Bowie tracks - and I have surely worn out the the little aluminum pits on this CD by now.Great stuff.

Turning up the Gamma filter, and pulling out the blue screen - this classic Bowie tune, is a nice psychedelic video for full moon lunatics amongst us.Proving yet again that the man is timeless, I've also included the Jools performance back to back of same - I think I actually prefer the more recent live performance to the original. Incredible.Later with Jools...

I'm a little ashamed to say that the first David Bowie record I listened to was 1995 'Outside'. This unleashed a wild man hunt after Bowie records only to leave me disappointed with the fact that none of his records sound like this one. 'Outside' is one of the darkest records I've heard and I really dove into it for a long time. The followup 'Earthling' shares the atmosphere I might add, but 'O...

Here's a cover od David Bowie covering Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam. This cover seems to be a spot on cover of Scott Walker's from the ??Sings Jacques Brel?? album. It's a good song none the less. I wish I knew French or more people covered his work, because I love the 8 English versions of his songs that Scott Walker does - the lyrics are incredible.

There's something about Halloween that just syncs up with so much of the music that I listen to. The airy atmosphere, chilling winds and bright colors of fall just go together with rich arrangements, luminescent melodies, and poignant lyrics. Halloween also allows for a rich palette from which to carve a political pumpkin, or in this case a political cartoon. Here are a few songs to accompan...

--- - |- Tim Russert died Friday and he was one of my favorite moderators. Not just because of his long career and thorough questioning, but that little snicker he had as he was doing the grilling, showing that he was having fun as much as he was working hard.

According to economist Evan Davies, who fronts the BBC's Dragons Den, the credit crunch is all David Bowie's fault.In the mid-90s, Bowie raised $50million selling 'Bowie Bonds', which entitled the buyer to a share of the royalties from the singer's back-catalogue. In return, Bowie collected future profits up-front.Davies said that the intiative, known as securitisation, was picked up by banks t...

Turns out David Bowie is helping Woody Allen muse Scarlett Johansson on her debut music album, Anywhere I Lay My Head. Bowie lent his chops on two songs on the record - "Fannin’ Street" and "Falling Down." We can only assume the collaboration came with the help of the record's producer David Sitek. Sitek is a member of TV on the Radio, whom Bowie has plugged through the years. Billboard reports...
