Do any of you have a version of I'm Afraid of Americans (NIN V.1 Mix) that isn't so darn quiet? I had it for a while and noticed how quiet the song was recorded. Then i bought the mp3 off amazon and it matched what i had before....still ridiculously quiet compared to every other song on my ipod. I figured that's just the way it was recorded. Am i wrong?
Saul Williams fan.
Trent was asked about his opinion on The Next Day in a recent Canadian radio interview. He refused to say it, merely stating "I'm glad he's putting new music out." Maybe Trent didn't like it?

probably hasn't been brickwalled yet. that's how music *should* sound.Originally Posted by GoodSoldier333
he played it at beacon, and it was the best song of the night!

If you watch the video of the interview, he smiles when he said that he was just glad that Bowie put a new album out. I think he did like it. Perhaps not as much as the classic albums, but I don't think he would have commented on it to the length that he did had he thought it was shit.

At htda show I went to they played one of the new songs over the pa before they came out, dunno if that means anything though

I think Trent is upset that The Next Day blows Oblivion out of the water

RIP trevor bolder of the spiders from mars... gloriously mutton chopped bass player for some of the best music ever recorded

Yeah, and according to this documentary, he and Mick didn't get paid much and they were the last to know that Bowie was to break up the band at their last live performance.

In case you haven't yet seen what Jimmy Fallon did last night:

Oh, that was a good Jimmy Fallon clip. I love his show sometimes. He always has cool guests. Oh, earlier today on HBO Comedy, Flight of the Conchords' Bowie episode. "Bowie in Space". How can anyone not love that song?

just discovered this article, which explains that bowie was banned from SNL in 1997 for performing 'scary monsters'- a song that absolutely terrified lorne michaels from when he used to do a ton of cocaine to that record:

speaking of which, the full 1979 performance with klaus nomi:

I miss this thread. When is it NOT a good time to talk about Bowie? If any of you still haven't watched that "Dave" video project released earlier this year, check it out:
The Virus Inside
If there's a good time to pick up David Bowie's new release "the next day", now is as good as any.
3 disc special edition due for November.
"'THE NEXT DAY EXTRA' will feature the original 14 song album, a 10 track companion cd with five unheard songs, two remixes (including one by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy) and a DVD featuring four videos from 'THE NEXT DAY'."

i really dislike the trend of re-releasing modern albums 2/3 times when they're less than a year old. good lord, that's just a cash grab, and this is why (among other reasons) people have gotten accustomed to stealing music... since i don't love the record as much as i'd hoped i would, i'll definitely pass.
God is an American
Well, I never bought the physical edition anyway, but even if I had, I'd be buying the digital EP of the seven other tracks.

i bought the vinyl because, well, bowie. but i haven't listened to it yet.

No word if the DVD features surround mixes?

Hard not to to see this as a cash-grab since, as frankie teardrop pointed out, it's been less than a years since the album was released. That said, I'm still excited for the new songs and remixes. The Next Day is an album that, little by little, I get more enjoyment out of every time I listen to it. I've always liked it, too. Not my favorite Bowie LP or anything, but very solid. "You Feel So Lonely You Could Die" has gotta be my favorite.
Resident Asshole
I cant stop listening to this remix.....

@halo33 surprised me in toronto with a trip to the bowie exhibit... tons of infamous outfits over the years, rare clips, the klaus nomi-nicked suit from saturday night live, the synths used on low/heroes, interactive media and cool remixes/mashups, and most wonderfully, original lyric sheets. herr 33 and i teared up a little bit while reading the draft lyrics of heroes, with various scrawled out and discarded verses mixed in.
if you can see this, GO!

I'm jealous, too bad the exhibit won't be presented anywhere near where I live
Shut the Goddamn door
That exhibit was so. damn. good.
I wanted to move in. I just kept staring at lyric sheets and I would imagine Bowie's pen writing them down in reverse.

Just popping in to say that Low is incredible and I can't believe a human being made it. How you gonna make your LP's second side an ambient trip that beats the hell out of anyone else's actual songs and arguably transcends even Eno's work? I feel like an angel is pouring liquid codeine in my ear canal during "Subterraneans."

I was in Toronto last week and was able to see this exhibit. It was amazing. I was blown away. One of my favorite pieces was the original artwork for Scary Monsters, a collage that measures about 6 feet wide. You can actually see where the artist cut up the album covers on the back and then painted over them, all the layers and raw edges, stuff that you would never get from looking at even the vinyl version of the album.
desperately chilled
i actually forgot about that, but was equally impressed! i knew it was a collage but i never knew it was that large!
don't forget heroes, low's schitzophrenic, manic depressive twin brother. i love both albums a lot, buti prefer heroes...
The Virus Inside
You can stream 5 of the bonus songs that are to appear on the deluxe edition of Bowie's "The Next Day" next Tuesday, right now over here:
