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.

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.

Gun Control to Major Tom: An Analysis of Failed Gun Regulations and the Terrorist Watchlist Paolo G. Corso 12 U. MASS. L. REV. 376 ABSTRACT As a division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Security Branch, the Terrorist Screening Center maintains the Terrorist Watchlist, a central database for identifying individuals known or suspected to engage in terrorism or terrorist activities. Subsumed under the Terrorist Watchlist is the No Fly List, which prohibits individuals from boarding commercial aircrafts in and out of the United States. Placement on either list presumes named individuals as a potential threat to U.S. national security, yet there is no restriction preventing them from legally purchasing firearms. Following a mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub in June of 2016, which was perpetrated by an individual recently removed from the Terrorist Watchlist, the Senate proposed two gun control measures specifically aimed at preventing individuals on the Terrorist Watchlist from purchasing firearms.

SPACE ODDITY Written by David Bowie & Illustrated by Andrew Kolb NOTICE OF LEGALNESS This is where it would say that this is published by Penguin or someone super cool. As it were, this is still but a concept book. I did it to do it and now it’s done. Normally this legal page would list a bunch of addresses in New York, London, Vancouver, and maybe even Dublin. Oh, and I’ll throw Brisbane in there for good measure. I appreciate all the legal bits as it’s that part that helps make this all happen. Except that you have this book and this page is still relegated to my ramblings. That’s part of what I love about the internet, it’s a chance to SHARE with others! I suppose some of the content that is shared out there wouldn’t pass my content filter, but for the most part I’ve discovered a lot of great work and met a lot of wonderful people because of this new fangled technology. Well done, internet. Well done. SPACE It’s because of this internet that the publisher usually lists their website. However it’s my book so here’s my site: www.kolbisneat.com And then those random numbers appear that look like a game of bingo to me 10 18 11 07 08 1986 B4 ODDITY More legal stuff. All rights respected (as best I can). Thanks to Mr. David Bowie for writing this song so I could draw it. Written by David Bowie & Illustrated by Andrew Kolb I find in some books there’s all this “This is ours” and then there’s a paragraph below it that says www.kolbisneat.com “Oh, but here are all the exceptions”.
