  • WATCHMOJO – the Life and Career of David Bowie (1947-2016)
    WATCHMOJO – The life and career of David Bowie (1947-2016) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lan_wotkon0 [Fashion] Welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're taking a look at the life and career of David Bowie. [Queen Bitch] David Robert Jones was born on January 8 1947 in Brixton London England. Though he showed musical interest at a young age it was only in the early 60s that he really pursued the art. He started by joining several blues bands but branched off on his own when they had little success. Renaming himself David Bowie he released his self-titled debut in 1967. [Who's that hiding in the apple tree clinging to a branch] Its lack of success led Bowie to participate in a promotional film called Love you till Tuesday which showcased several of his songs. A particular interest was Space Oddity : that track became a hit after it was released at the same time as the first moon landing. [Ground control to Major Tom] His sophomore effort of the same name however was another commercial disappointment. [The man who sold the world] To promote his third album The man who sold the world, Bowie was put in a dress to capitalize on his androgynous look. [Life on mars] [Ziggy Stardust] In 1971 a pop influenced record called Hunky-Dory came out and was followed by the creation of his flamboyant Ziggy Stardust persona and stage show with backing band The Spiders from Mars. Then came his breakthrough record The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars which climbed the charts thanks to his performance of the single Star Man on Top of the Pops.

From “Please Mr. Gravedigger,” the theatrical closing number on his 1967 self-titled debut album, to virtually every track on his final record nearly 50 years later, the protean musician mused perpetually on all matters of mortality: the loss of loved ones (“Jump They Say,” about his brother’s suicide), the apocalyptic end of the world (“Five Years”), his own impending passing.

  • Glam Rock and Funk Alter-Egos, Fantasy, and the Performativity of Identities
    REVISTA DE LENGUAS MODERNAS, N.° 26, 2017 / 387-401 / ISSN: 1659-1933 Glam Rock and Funk Alter-Egos, Fantasy, and the Performativity of Identities MONICA BRADLEY Escuela de Lenguas Modernas Universidad de Costa Rica The emergence of desire, and hence our biological response, is thus bound up in our ability to fantasize, to inhabit an imagined scenario that, in turn, ‘produces what we understand as sexuality’ (Whitely 251). Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality” (Queen, “Bohemian Rhapsody”). Abstract The following article explores different conceptions of fantasy and science fiction that characterized many popular music performances in the 1970’s predominantly in the genres of glam rock and funk. By focusing on a few artists that were at the peak of their music careers at this time, such as David Bowie, P-Funk, Queen, Labelle and others, it attempts to un-earth some historical conditions for women, queers, and people of color and reveal how these artists have attempted to escape and transform certain realities by transgressing the boundaries of real/fiction, masculinity/ femininity, race, sexuality, and the “alien”. Key words: Glam rock, Funk, music, science fiction, queer, gender, race Resumen El siguiente artículo explora las diferentes concepciones de fantasía y ciencia ficción que caracterizan muchas formas de actuación en la música popular de los años setentas, predominantemente en los géneros de glam rock y funk. Pondré especial atención en algunos artistas que estuvieron en el ápice de su carrera musical en este tiempo como David Bowie, Recepción: 29-03-16 Aceptación: 12-12-16 388 REVISTA DE LENGUAS MODERNAS, N.° 26, 2017 / 387-401 / ISSN: 1659-1933 P-Funk, Queen, Labelle, y otros quienes intentaron traer a la realidad temas sobre condiciones históricas en mujeres, queers y personas de color .

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.

  • April 15, 2021 Listen to the Hics Cover David Bowie's “The Man Who Sold the World
    April 15, 2021 For Immediate Release Listen to The Hics Cover David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” From BBE Music’s Bowie Tribute Album, Modern Love, Out May 28th Featuring Jeff Parker, We Are KING, Meshell Ndegeocello, Khruangbin, Matthew Tavares, L’Rain, Jonah Mutono, and more (Photo by J. Notley) Next month, BBE Music will release their forthcoming David Bowie tribute album, Modern Love, out May 28th. Following Helado Negro’s lush cover of “Sound and Vision” and We Are KING’s cosmic and airy cover of “Space Oddity,” they are thrilled to present the album’s newest single, a dream-like interpretation of Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” by The Hics. Comprising Sam Paul Evans and Rox Barker, The Hics combine elements of melodic jazz, soul and folk styles into their distinctive, ever evolving electronic fusion sound. Their cover of “The Man Who Sold The World” beautifully reflects the ethereal, haunted nature of the song’s lyrics, written at a time when Bowie was struggling to reconcile Ziggy and David, wrestling with public and private personas. “We both love Bowie so being asked to reimagine a song of our choice was a no brainer. David Bowie is a national treasure so it's a true honour to pay homage to the man. The choice to cover 'The Man Who Sold The World’ came very quickly, being a personal favourite.” Listen to The Hics’ Cover of “The Man Who Sold The World” Featuring an array of artists such as Jeff Parker, We Are KING, Meshell Ndegeocello, Khruangbin, Matthew Tavares, L’Rain, Nia Andrews and more, Modern Love seeks to champion Bowie’s lesser known connection to soul, R&B, jazz, funk, and gospel, musical genres traditionally pioneered by artists of color.
