Despite there being a wide range of memorabilia that is being marketed to fans these days; from the cheap and tacky, to the outrageously expensive, I believe that I have stumbled upon, not only a niche product, but also one that is truly unique, and most importantly one that provides value for money.

I am conducting a market research program, and as such, I would like to ask your opinion as to whether you would think that an interior disensyo concept that I have developed, would be of any interest to fans, for me to ilipat on to the production stage.

Let me give you some background information.

There will always be certain songs, riffs, hooks, and earworms that get stuck in our heads. Most of them are as annoying as spam. Others are brilliant. Here are David Bowie’s tuktok 20 most brilliant flashes of genius.

20. “Commencing countdown, engines on. Check ignition and may God's pag-ibig be with you. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, lift-off!” -- puwang Oddity. With the anticipation of madami David Bowie surprises to come, this line seems like the most obvious place to start for any Bowie countdown.

19. “Just walking the dead” -- Where Are We Now. This cryptic...

                Hero
    
    I walked into the cemetery with a bouquet of flowers. I remembered the details as if it were a few days nakaraan even though it had been a year.

    My ex boyfriend had been driving to tedeschis to get some sandwiches before picking me up to go to the park for a picnic. A driver driving an SUV had been drinking, swerved off the side of the road and hit him. He was rescued sa pamamagitan ng paramedics only to arrive at the hospital and be announced...

I put on my headphones and closed my eyes.
I turned the volume up and uttered some sighs.
They were of bliss they were not unhappy.
For the voice entering my eardrums brought me unspeakable joy.
The voice was male, a baritone at least.
Deep, hypnotic and gave my ears a feast.
My puso fluttering fast, my insides all warm.
My cheeks all flushed like a putakti swarm.
My body humming pleasurably to the sound of the song.
His pag-awit felt like it was susunod to me I turn around and almost gasp at what I see.
A tall, thin blonde man laying susunod to me.
His skin was pale vampire like.
His eyes mismatched and his teeth...

“The Gospel According to Tony Day;” Is an allegoric collection of different people’s schemas in approach to life as viewed sa pamamagitan ng Bowie. It clearly displays the driving force which Bowie senses behind these collections of people in their approach to most things in life.
A somewhat restrained sound permeates the song, as it lacks the life and emotiveness which most of the CD contains. This track holds an intriguing view on society, but it lacks the force which is usually so effortlessly conveyed through and with Bowie’s other songs. On another level, however, it is powerful in that it realises...

I am a DJ playing my records on A Fantastic Voyage. The boys keep swinging to the beat and the girls tell them Lets Dance. Andy Warhol began to shake it and richochet on the dance floor. He was dancing with a China girl while the cat people (putting out fire) decided to write A letter to Hermione asking for Changes to be made to the African nite flight. Ziggy Stardust began to enter along with lady stardust and tried to seduce the lady grinning soul sa pamamagitan ng saying "you're a sweet thing and we could be heroes," Her soul pag-ibig began to look back in anger to which ziggy replied "john I'm only dancing,"...

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars was released June 6, 1972 in the UK and in the US September 1, 1972. David Bowie's first alter ego came from the name of a London tailor's tindahan Bowie saw riding on a train. The band the spiders from Mars consisted of Mick Ronson (guitar) Trevor Boulder (bass) and Mick "Woody" Woodmansey (drums). David Bowie declared after a few years that this would be the last ipakita the spiders from Mars would ever do and in 1973 killed off Ziggy. The album still remains a classic today.

I've known who Bowie was since I was 10 and have been a fan...

“Little Bombardier;” is the tragic tale of the termination of a retired soldier’s innocent friendship with a pair of young children due to the cynicism of those in authority. Regardless the ties to Bowie’s own life, and the messages it holds in that aspect, it is applicable to almost any situation of ultra-cynicism and suspicion. Bowie ridicules the distrustful nature of most people today – a nature transferred upon people through the medium of the tabloids and general press, and the constant depravation and corruption which is constantly lambasted and emphasised sa pamamagitan ng these mediums....

“We Are Hungry Men;” Is an amusing look at the idea of the world over-populating, and the nature of those who make to bring this message of impending doom to the general population. It explores the idea that those who are pushing the message of over-population are selfish and “not your friends,” as they attempt to do anything they can to continue their own personal existences, regardless of what others may want.
The track explores the idea of a lack of political conscience, and the full egos of those in control who are shocked when their message of ‘salvation’ is not taken well....

“Did You Ever Have a Dream;” Is a jaunty snapshot of the other-worldly brilliance of dreams, which we tend to take for granted. “I will travel round the world one night, on the magic wings of astral flight,” is but one of the lines from this song which attempts to point out the obvious; dreams are “A very special knowledge,” and they’re something which is totally ethereal. People tend to accept dreams for what they are: commonplace. Certainly, some people lay great stock sa pamamagitan ng their dreams and others will gleefully tell you of their imaginary night-time exploits, but the general...

“Sell Me A Coat;” Shares elements of “Uncle Arthur,” as it gives a clear picture of Bowie’s purest voice, however the general tone and subject of the song is pangkalahatang madami sombre thanks to the introduction of a slower rhythm and dejected plaint from Bowie.
Introduced sa pamamagitan ng the slow, sure intonation of “La la la la la,” “Sell Me A Coat” creates a bittersweet picture of Bowie’s loss of his “Summer girl.” Whether physical or purely metaphorical, this story, however peculiarly executed, certainly proved a foundation for some of Bowie’s later work; introducing his tendency to...

“Uncle Arthur;” This buoyant melody, inspired sa pamamagitan ng Bowie’s incredulity and subsequent interest in one of his friend’s confessions that they were not a twenty-year old musician, but a twenty-seven taon old uncle is equipped with hand-clapping and a sweet, honest delivery sa pamamagitan ng Bowie. With a touch of pointed mirth, this song proves itself a simple, catchy tune which seems to be laughing at Bowie’s own aspirations to fame. With a simple chord structure and range, its feel-good aura is contagiously fun. Personally, I immediately took a liking to the openness of Bowie’s voice in this song,...

“There Is A Happy Land;” Is the youthful observances of the fleeting nature of happiness within our lifetimes, and the idea of a metaphysical place which children can retreat to when they’re feeling lonely. Reminiscent of “Castle on A Cloud” from Les Miserable in its concepts, it is seemingly told from a child’s point of view. It is stated that “Adults aren’t allowed there [in the ‘Happy Land’]” Which comes back to the idea of youthful innocence, and its ability derived from need to escape the dismal surroundings for somewhere nice. Perhaps adults simply cannot find the...

“The Laughing Gnome;” Has an eccentric charm about it, despite the dad-joke-esque character of the gnome jokes which it’s riddled with. The magic of “The Laughing Gnome” is actually in its absurdity. The sped-up voice of the gnome and the pointlessness so effortlessly encapsulated in this song gives it a wealth of appeal not only to the very young but to all those with a ripe sense of humour. The humour is not actually in the element of humour which the song provides through the gnome medium, but through the notion of implementing this technique - of speeding up sound- not to further...

A “Rubber Band;” indeed this song is. With a rounded, slightly mournful tone, the song tells the tale of a man’s frequency of visiting the park with his girl, where they listen to an out-of-tune band until the man goes off to fight in the war. The climax of the song describes the man’s anguish when he returns to find his girl “married to the leader of that band.” This dismal ending is forewarned sa pamamagitan ng the doleful nature of the beginning of the song, which seemingly has no cause for woe.
The song has a pleasing turn of phrase and a rolling, curvaceous undertone to the backing track....

Heyyyyy, s'up I thought I'd do a fanpop review for David Bowie's new music video and single Blackstar. I personally am a huge Bowie fan, I've loved David Bowie since I was thirteen and I always will. However I will be truthful, when I first saw the teaser trailer for Blackstar, I was a bit anxious. I thought it would be very creepy, impossible to pag-ibig the song and I thought it would ruin Bowie for me forever........NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO WRONG! I feel so horrible for even thinking that. It was the best thing I have ever seen. Ten minutos was not enough.

The video seems to take place in some fantasy...

“Silly Boy Blue;” Is the youthful outpourings of a less mature Bowie. The conglomeration of his childhood experiences under the collective heading of ‘school’. This track was clearly written earlier than the others – possibly when Bowie had just graduated, as it is still permeated with the essence of classroom chit-chat and the casual derisions which peers deal out to each other.
So, with a hint of green still gently petering out behind Bowie’s ears, this song marks his musical maturity as having reached a point; a point which it remains on for the entire CD, but which is only just...

Come back here, you thief or I'm going to call the cops!"

I ran and ran. I had stolen a baguette and a piece of cheese. Now you're probably all thinking why that and not expensive jewelry? Well, I'll tell you my story.

My name is Layla Cummings, I'm only thirteen years old. I had a horrible family life, well when I had a family. My father died when I was three years old. My mother remarried and I had a drunk abusive step dad. He would beat me til I was bleeding, drink until he passed out and I was the one who had to revive the bastard. My mother was often busy working late night shifts at Mc...
