Klaxon James Righton explains the latest development to NME: *”At the end of February we’re going in the studio with Tony Visconti to do a couple of tracks… He’s just a lovely man. He came along to a few of our New York shows and was interested, so we’re gonna try him out.”
Hopefully it’s a match made in heaven.
MP3: Klaxons – Magick
The Smoking Gun declares: *”[The Bowie mugshot] was snapped in Rochester, New York following the singer’s March 1976 arrest on a felony pot possession charge. Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie’s arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment. The photo was provided to TSG by a Rochester man who is seeking to sell the one-of-a-kind image.”*
Check out this utterly fab/hilarious performance from 32 years (!) ago. I’m speechless.
MP3s: David Bowie – Let’s Dance & Cher – The Shoop Shoop Song
Here’s what the fashion mag had to say about Mr. Bowie: *From the Kabuki-inspired androgyny of Ziggy Stardust to the crisply tailored modern rock star as one-man corporation, David Bowie’s ever shifting personae influenced entire musical genres, not to mention wildly successful reinvention experts like Madonna. And even when his performance-art motifs have threatened to overshadow his talents as a musician, Bowie has always rebounded in song, never succumbing to style over substance. Perhaps Moby said it best: “I can’t think of any other musician in the twentieth century who has impacted popular culture and music more than David Bowie.” And did we mention he’s been married to a supermodel for fifteen years? Just wanted to throw that in.*
