Changesbowie is a CD greatest-hits collection that revamps the original Changesonebowie by adding selections from David Bowie's late-'70s and early-'80s albums. Consequently, it functions as a definitive single-disc introduction to Bowie, featuring all of his major hits from "Space Oddity," "Changes," "Ziggy Stardust," "Jean Genie," and "Rebel Rebel" to "Heroes," "Ashes to Ashes," "Let's Dance," "Modern Love," and "Blue Jean." One complaint: It wasn't necessary to substitute the "Fame '90" remix for the original to hook completists, since it is inferior and was already issued as a separate single.
My uber-wife recently picked up "best of bowie" for me. I had never heard "Ashes To Ashes" before. As I'm listening to it, I realized it was a continuation of "Space Oddity". Hmmm "That's strange!" I thought to myself. Since I was a boy, I was under the impression that Major Tom had been lost in space forever. It had this grand mystery about it, imagining the fate of Major Tom ... So naturally ...

I love music-- I make it, I buy it (yes, buy!), I read about it, I analyze how it's made, I wonder who likes what and why... I like to hear how songs came about, the history of music, and what the next development is; I read the credits on CD covers, I know the names of critics; I'm curious about new technology related to it (hello iPhone!), and blah blah blog.So I'm happy mog came along, becau...

Last night I was listening to Bowie and was in awe of him again. Of course.There's no denying he was a pioneer. He ushered in eras of rock music. Anyhoo, I digress...When I got to "John, I'm Only Dancing" I was having an 80s flashback and really needed to know who covered this track.So according to wikipedia, The Chameleons did. Was this ever a single for them? Cobwebs are in the way and I ...

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...

Always seemed to me that with this song, Bowie really left the past behind. Sure, he shifted gears and styles with about every release even prior to this, but e was ever at the top of my playlist. After this, the appeal was, uh, gone.

"Though nothing will keep us together,we can be us,forever and ever."'Heroes' ~ David BowieI still remember the first time I ever heard this song. Someone made me a mixed tape and had slipped it into my bag when we were leaving a club, in the wee hours of morning, somewhere in Hollywood. Funny, I really don't recall the night all that well, or where we were, but I do remember the tape. I'd love...

A few facts about our beloved Bowie...-Born January 8, 1947 in Brixton, London as David Robert Jones to an Irish mother and English father-At age 15, was punched in the left eye by his friend, David Underwood, during a fight over a girl. Doctors operated but could not fully repair the damage, leaving his pupil permanently dilated. It appears brown to some people, but the iris is naturally blue....
