red devil Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 A very sad day. One of my older brothers was a big fan, so I grew up 'listening' to his 70's albums and eventually became a fan myself by the late 70's...work those shoulders babe x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5559-david-bowie/page/7/#findComment-947111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Irvine Welsh gets it right with this tweet."Bowie died as he lived, displaying uplifting, inspirational class.

titch juicy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Have a listen to the lyrics on each track of his new (brilliant) album. Now sounds ever so haunting. It feels like only he could've made a fantastic album about his own death while it was impending. What a last act.A tribute street party is being organised outside Brixton Ritzy from 7-ish this evening. Brixton saying farewell to it's most famous son.

titch juicy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Brian Eno"David's death came as a complete surprise, as did nearly everything else about him. I feel a huge gap now."We knew each other for over 40 years, in a friendship that was always tinged by echoes of Pete and Dud. Over the last few years - with him living in New York and me in London - our connection was by email. We signed off with invented names: some of his were Mr Showbiz, Milton Keynes, Rhoda Borrocks and The Duke of Ear."About a year ago we started talking about Outside - the last album we worked on together. We both liked that album a lot and felt that it had fallen through the cracks. We talked about revisiting it, taking it somewhere new. I was looking forward to that."I received an email from him seven days ago. It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: 'Thank you for our good times, Brian. they will never rot'. And it was signed 'Dawn'."I realise now he was saying goodbye."

Never liked DB, was dragged to see him late 90s at Town & Country in Leeds (the tour when he refused to sign any old stuff); managed to stick it for about 20 minutes, then walked out (very obvious as there were only about 200 people) and sat in the car for the next hour or so, freezing my bits off...

malumbu Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Shocked as most were yesterday. But let others have their opinion. I didn't like the new Star Wars, and was probably the only one in the cinema. Please don't burn me at the stake for being a heretic.Ironic that they showed the Lazarus video before the film started and we thought "my, he has aged" (not obviously realising his condition). That was Sat night and then on Sunday that Deutchland drama in Channel 4 finished with Modern Love. Spooky. Prior to this I'd posted on EDF that two of the most lame videos were the Bowie/Jagger and the Bowie/Crosby. They are.Absolutely loved the V&A exhibition, Glass Spider tour was pants (as he admitted - too ambitious), and pissed off 32 years later that I couldn't get tickets for the Serious Moonlight tour. Loved that album but Scary Monsters grated at the time and still does now. Visage did it much better. Should have made an effort to see Tin Machine, they may have been lousy but I did like his green suit.Had a funny chat with the big big big boss today, who said even he had heard the news, but (depsite being of my generation) did not like the music. Obviously must have been a Roxy fan! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5559-david-bowie/page/7/#findComment-947812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisa Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Well what a shambles tonight's episode of Celebrity Big Brother was. David Bowie's estranged ex-wife was informed of his death and the aftermath was exposed for all to see in a shambolic hour long episode in which she confides in a fellow house mate Tiffany about the news (who I've never even heard of?), who in turn misunderstands Angie and assumes David Gest (another fellow housemate of Liza Minelli marriage fame) has died in the diary room. She runs and tells everyone else who goes crazy and to top it all off, Darren Day (famous for?) goes to check on David Gest (who was sleeping) to see if he is dead? Louisa.

malumbu Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Is this a surreal dream? I'd lay off the the cheese before you go to bed, or tranquilisers or larium. PS PM me if you'd like to buy Angie's biog - a fiver and not heavily read. I found it in a house clearance.

Louisa Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Honestly malumbu, this person got her David's mixed up and we went from some sort of grief (?) from Angie Bowie, to a a bizarre moment where Darren Day is checking to make sure David Gest isn't dead in bed?

Sad because, well I don't know really...I'm sure your world was better with him in it, but not mine - to quote you, FACT...Hey ho, each to their own, he didn't impact on my world, except to give me a memory of a freezing cold evening, sitting in a car in Leeds, hoping I didn't get frostbite... In fact, he made me cross so there we are - maybe he did impact my world after all, just not in the way most people would imagine... I'd forgotten all about that evening until this news surfaced, so maybe it wasn't that big a deal after all...I'm off to listen to some Jake Thackray - witty, clever and understated...

FJDGoose Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm so glad his final album was a return to form and not like all the poor stuff in the 80s when I feel he'd lost his way a bit.

DovertheRoad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Everyone has a Bowie era they relate to strongest...Imine was actually that pop 80's stuff which was big with me as a kid. Let's Dance is a classic album. Loved that video shot in outback Australia. And Stevie Ray Vaughan playing on it before he became famous with Texas flood. Those songs still stand up as classics...and get regular airplay.
