Now, Morley has published his personal account of the life, musical influence and cultural impact of his teenage hero, exploring Bowie's constant reinvention of himself and his music over a period of five extraordinarily innovative decades. I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After completing Low and "Heroes" , Bowie spent much of on the Isolar II world tour , bringing the music of the first two Berlin Trilogy albums to almost a million people during 70 concerts in 12 countries.

Producer/Artist Big Swede to Release Part Three of Instrumental Electronica/Soundtrack Album
2013-10-28 08:08 CET Producer/Artist Big Swede To Release Part Three Of Instrumental Electronica/Soundtrack Album Los Angeles, CA, October 28th, 2013 – Swedish born producer/artist Big Swede is releasing his latest album, Electronic Core District Pt.3, on October 31st, 2013. Just like Pt.1 and Pt.2, the release includes 19 instrumental tracks in an Electronica/Soundtrack style. The three part album includes new tracks and some already featured on several different TV-shows like NCIS, CSI: Miami, NCIS: Los Angeles, Alphas, MTV Video Music Awards Pre-show, and also the two Big Swede tracks used as an intro for the 07-08 Van Halen tour. “The 3 releases include a total of 58 tracks. Electronic Core District Pt.1, was released in May and Electronic Core District Pt.2, in August,” explains Big Swede. “There are two guests on Pt.3. My longtime friend Johnny Griparic (Slash’s Snakepit, Nina Hagen) played bass on ‘Maniac Man’ and Howie Simon (Alcatrazz, Nelson) played guitar on ‘The Element Of Danger’. These guys have appeared on several of my releases and it is always a treat to get them on tape,” continues Big Swede. “Downtown LA and the Historic Core District has fueled my creativity for years. The title of these three albums, Electronic Core District, really fits due to the area and also because the music is so electronic and computer driven,” says Big Swede. “I’m still ‘part human, part machine’ but the cover art, an x-ray of my head, has been slightly modified for Pt.3,” laughs Big Swede.

Likewise, Lemmy seemed too much a part of rock’s scenery to leave us so soon. As we went to press with this issue, we also learned the sad news that Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey had passed (look out for a full tribute next month), making this winter the worst in memory for losing legends. The only very slight consolation for all this is that it prompted us to listen again to the music that made them household names. In the case of Bowie, it was a reminder of the astonishing breadth and ambition of his music-making (see cover feature, p76). Rightly regarded as classic now, Bowie’s music must have been sensational when he was starting out – and I’m sure not everyone ‘got it’ at the time. Passing years have a habit of making the new and strange in music feel comfortably familiar, and finally classic. That thought has been a reminder of the importance of seeking out uncommon sounds, and not just sticking to your comfort zone of old favourites.

Serial #9400536. Les respected Bruce and thought he was a "cool dude." The consigner of this item, who worked for Les Paul, had given Bruce an acoustic guitar Les had signed in the 1990s. When Les heard he was on tour a few years later, he signed this guitar to Bruce. Lester William Polsfuss was an inventor and musician.

ITALIAN BOWIE Tutto Di David Bowie in Italia E Visto Dall'italia INTRODUZIONE
Davide Riccio ITALIAN BOWIE Tutto di David Bowie in Italia e visto dall'Italia INTRODUZIONE Bowie ascoltava la musica italiana? Ogni nazione avrebbe voluto avere i propri Elvis, i propri Beatles, i propri Rolling Stones, il proprio Bob Dylan o il proprio "dio del rock" David Bowie, giusto per fare qualche nome: fare cioè propri i più grandi tra i grandi della storia del rock. O incoronarne in patria un degno corrispettivo. I paesi che non siano britannici o statunitensi perciò di loro lingua franca mondiale sono tuttavia fuori dal gioco: il rock è innanzi tutto un fatto di lingua inglese. Non basta evidentemente cantare in inglese senza essere inglesi, irlandesi o statunitensi et similia per uguagliare in popolarità internazionale gli originari o gli oriundi ed entrare di diritto nella storia internazionale del rock. A volte poi, pur appartenendo alla stessa lingua inglese, il cercarne o crearne un corrispettivo è operazione comunque inutile ai fini del fare o non fare la storia del rock, oltre che un fatto assai discutibile, così come avvenne a esempio negli States in piena Beatlemania con i Monkees, giusto per citare un gruppo nel quale cantava un certo David o Davy Jones, lo stesso che - per evitare omonimia e confusione - portò David Robert Jones, ispirandosi al soldato Jim Bowie e al suo particolare coltello, il cosiddetto Bowie knife, ad attribuirsi un nome d'arte: David Bowie. I Monkees nacquero nel 1965 su idea del produttore discografico Don Kirshner per essere la risposta rivale (anzitutto commerciale) americana ai Beatles, quindi i Beatles americani o gli anti-Beatles.

David Bowie's 1. Outside: the Creation of a Liminoid Space As a Metaphor for Pre-Millennial Society
BOWIE'S I._OUTSIDE AS A CONSTRUCTION OF ALIMINOID SPACE DAVID BOWIE'S 1. OUTSIDE: THE CREATION OF A LIMINOID SPACE AS A METAPHOR FOR PRE-MILLENNIAL SOCIETY By: NICHOLAS P. GRECO, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University Copyright © 2000 by Nicholas P. Greco IIcMASIER UNI'lfi.R!::itI'l LIBBAto MASTER OF ARTS (2000) McMaster University (Music Criticism) Hamilton, Ontario Title: David Bowie's 1. Outside: The Creation of a Liminoid Space as a Metaphor for Pre-Millennial Society Author: Nicholas P. Greco, B.A. (University of Ottawa) Supervisor: Dr Susan Fast Number of Pages: xi, 166. 111 ABSTRACT The majority of writings on David Bowie have focussed on his early work. Many feel that Bowie's early work has much merit, as has been made clear by the vast pool of both academic and popular writings regarding his work in the early 1970s, his collaborations with Brian Eno in the late 1970s, and his most commercially accepted works in the early 1980s. However, much of the academic writing on Bowie has chosen to focus only on these works and ignores his more recent material. This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge regarding the more recent work of David Bowie. In 1995, Bowie released the album 1. Outside. Through its music and lyrics, album art, accompanying narrative, music video and live performance, Bowie presents a world of the absurd and violent. He engages with the notions of murder as art, body modification as ritual, and the state of society at the end of the twentieth century.
