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.

Tribute to David Bowie
Tribute to David Bowie By Jennifer Sage The world lost a magical, mystical, playful, brilliant artist on Sunday, January 10, 2016. I woke to the sad news and immediately found myself purchasing many of his songs that I didn’t already own. David Bowie was a big part of my youth. When I was a freshman in high school, I embroidered rock-and-roll artists’ names on my jeans (yeah, that was a thing back then). David Bowie had a coveted spot on my right knee. It was 1976, and the Bump was the big dance craze at the time. Bowie’s hit song “Fame,” filled with soul, was a perfect song for the Bump. To this day, I can’t hear that song without my mind going back to Saint Augustine High School dances in San Diego. All of the songs in my playlist were performed by David Bowie except one, “Lust for Life,” but he co-wrote it with Iggy Pop. The only other time I have done a profile tribute to a band or artist using solely their music was with REM, and that was to celebrate their retirement, not a death. Even after we lost such great artists as Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston, I could only bring myself to play a handful of their songs. There are many covers, remixes, and mashups of David Bowie songs that you could incorporate in your tribute playlist, as well as duets and other artists of his era, so you don’t have to play just Bowie songs. But before you dismiss the idea, remember that David Bowie’s art not only spanned decades, he also spanned many genres and styles.

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.

Albumet (uppkallat efter en text från öppningsspåret "Sunday" från albumet "Heathen”) samlar låtarna från varje period av Bowies karriär – allt från hans tidigaste inkarnationer som "Liza Jane" och "Can’t Help Thinking About Me” enda fram till James Murphys "Hello Steve Reich Mix" av "Love Is Lost" från förra året. Albumet innehåller Bowies första nya musik sedan han släppte det kritikerrosade albumet ”The Next Day" förra året.

Five Essential David Bowie Guitar Riffs, by Pete Farrugia BA (Hons), Dipmus, Diplcm
Five Essential David Bowie Guitar Riffs, by Pete Farrugia BA (Hons), DipMus, DipLCM While he’s not often regarded as a guitarist himself, David Bowie has always written songs with strong guitar riffs, and has always collaborated with a series of superb guitarists. One of these deserves particular attention, and that is Mick Ronson, who was Bowie’s lead guitarist throughout his Ziggy Stardust period. There are so many great Bowie guitar riffs to choose from, but here are five of my favourites. Let’s start our five essential Bowie riffs with the one that kicks off the song Ziggy Stardust? Ziggy Stardust (1971) – Guitarist: Mick Ronson The song is in the key of G Major, and the version I’m going to play is from the original studio recording. This is a riff that lends itself to variation, and both Mick Ronson himself, as well as other Bowie guitarists over the years have added slight differences, and alternative fingerings. Next, the riff that opens the Man Who Sold The World album, from the song The Width Of A Circle. The Width Of A Circle (1970) – Guitarist: Mick Ronson The riff was enhanced on the recording by overdubbed guitars playing harmonies, first octaves and then tenths. I’ve arranged it so that it can be played on a single guitar. Some of you may not have discovered tenths yet, so I’ll explain. The riff comes from the E Mixolydian modal scale. This contains the same notes as the E major scale except that the seventh is a semitone lower.
