David Bowie

[thevoid99]

FUCK YEAH!!!!! I just finished the listing of my 70 Bowie songs that fans should hear as I'm breaking the list down in five parts for five different periods. '67-'73, '74-'82, '83-'91, '92-'04, & 2013-2016.

As is another legend who would've been 82 years old as he and the man that would've been 70 would duet on this classic:

There is a new documentary called David Bowie: The Last Five Years that has some great insight and new interviews and information regarding, well, Bowie's last five years.
It is great, and obviously a fucking tear jerker.

It's on my Plex for those of you who are connected, and can be found online if you know where to look

Just watched this - it's good to live in the UK sometimes! Loved the reply to 'what would you like your legacy to be'! Worthwhile watch.

This documentary made me realise that Bowie's last record was released 8 days into 2016, and NIN latest EP was released 8 days before 2016 was over.
I know that some parallels between Bowie and NIN were already pointed out in the NTAE thread, but I think it's interesting how those records sort of mirror each other.

Its hard not to think of the Thin White Duke today, for me its almost everyday.

The Blackstar Outtakes have finally been released as an EP for what would have been David's 70th Birthday, he still delivers.

I'm gonna spend tonight with a couple of bottles of red, listening through to TND & Blackstar followed by The Last Five Years documentary, Happy Birthday David.

I was holding out for a release of the tracks on their own, I'm not too interested with the Cast Recording. They made sure you had to buy that previously to get hold of the out takes.

I'm a Bowie fanatic I bought the cast soundtrack from his site just for the second disc I haven't even listened to the cast recording.

[thevoid99]

I've also heard the second disc from that soundtrack as I too haven't heard the cast recording yet. I'm just putting links into the songs I've made for the list which I hopefully will unveil later tonight. I was watching Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars as I still get moved during "The Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud" and "My Death". Once I die, I want the latter to be played at my funeral.

Yep. Oh, and here is my Bowie 70 list: http://thevoidgoround.blogspot.com/2.../bowie-70.html

At what time what are you talking about?

[elevenism]

At what time what are you talking about?

months ago.
Starting on 1/15/16 in this thread in fact.

I just had a feeling. but i expected there to be more songs.

Which leads me to this question:
Are these songs from the "five demos" or are there still five more demos?

[Your Name Here]

months ago.

I still have no idea were you calling the extra songs from the Blackstar sessions? Visconti said last year that there were more songs. My guess is there are going to be albums coming out for years.

i answered my own question. (via interwebs research)
There were 5 completed blackstar outtakes and 5 demos that we know of. So the new songs must be 3 of the outtakes, leaving SEVEN extant songs from the blackstar era that we haven't heard yet.

I sure hope there will be albums coming out for years!

And yes, calling the extra songs from the blackstar sessions. But i thought there would be more, released at once.

That's why i said "do i KIND of win."
But now i feel like a dick for talking about this at length. This is a sensitive fucking subject.
I'm just really really happy i was (somewhat) right.

There has to be, with nearly 50 years of recording sessions there has to be unreleased material but chances are, you are going to get one song per compilation album. I also suspect there will be live albums from nearly every tour. What I want more than anything else is a live DVD/Blu Ray from the 1978 tour.

Nah don't worry about that, we all miss Bowie and it has been a year on Tuesday since he passed we all need to grieve but also need to learn how to enjoy his music again. I never met him and didn't know him but I would be thrilled if millions of people would be enjoying my music long after my death. Somehow I think Bowie would want us to enjoy his music just like he was still with us. The times I saw him live he always had a sense of humor and seemed to enjoy what he was doing.

[elevenism]

@Your Name Here , what i had expected was another album intended by the man himself to be released posthumously.
And i think that's what this ep is.

As for me, i never stopped enjoying Bowie's music as if he were still here, because through the music, it feels like he IS still here you know?

But it isn't the same for others i suppose.

[imail724]

So are these exactly the same as the ones that were released on the Lazarus soundtrack a few months back?

[elevenism]

My favorite moment of the new doc was when bowie said “ that’s part and parcel of what I do for you. Part of my entertaining factor is lying to you."

Fucking hilarious and so endearing.

[Your Name Here]

I believe they are the running times are off by one second on each song but that could just be a format thing.

[elevenism]

even so, i like to think that db intended them to be released at this time in this fashion.
And i hope there's another one around the corner.
