[glow=red,2,300]David Bowie: Where Are We Now?[/glow]
--- Quote ---
> David Bowie celebrated his 66th birthday today by dropping a
new single "Where Are We Now?", which went live in the early
hours of Jan. 8 through Iso/Columbia Records. Today's retail
release is an exclusive across the iTunes Store in 119
countries.
>
> The Thin White Duke has been away for some time. Too long. But
it seems he's not been idle. "Where Are We Now?" is a taster of
a promised new album "The Next Day", his 30th studio recording
and his first since "Reality" ten years ago. "The Next Day" will
also be distributed as a pre-order, in the "standard" and
"deluxe" packages, the latter containing three bonus tracks. The
staggered release will arrive in Australia on March 8, followed
by the rest of the world-excluding the U.S. on March 11 and the
U.S. the following day.

> The new single is written by Bowie, and recorded in New York
with his long-term collaborator Tony Visconti on production
duties. It's a slow tempo number that grows in intensity from a
swelling guitar play.
>
> Bowie's surprise birthday gift to his fans includes a video,
directed by Tony Oursler. In the clip - which can be seen here -
Bowie revisits the well that was his Berlin years. He's seen
looking-in on the auto repair store beneath the apartment he
lived during the '70s, as footage flashes past detailing the
bleak landscape of the German capital's recent past. There's
more than a touch of Johnny Cash's remarkable promo for "Hurt".
>
> There is no news, however, on whether Bowie will tour in
support of the album.

[glow=red,2,300]David Bowie: Five Years [/glow](Showtime)

Showtime
HTML http://www.sho.com/sho/reality-docs/titles/3396645/david-bowie-five-years#/indexhas<br
/>recently added a documentary about a small part of David
Bowie’s
life. Called 5 years, because it’s about 5 significant different
times that Bowie reimagined himself.
Not a bad hour. It has all kinds of behind the scenes footage.
Lots of discussions from those artists who help define the sound
Bowie was looking for. The occasional bits and pieces from Bowie
himself. It went pretty quick. I didn’t find any filler.
I’m a casual fan. I really like his hits, but don’t care too
much about the surrounding work. I still say he has one of the
greatest voices in the industry. I just wish he did more stuff
that appealed to me.
Yet, I really dug getting close into his different persona's.

I'd like to see this myself. As you pointed out, I'm not what
you would call a 'fan' of his, but like plenty of songs he has
done. Is there one album that kick ass from start to finish? I
always hear Ziggy Stardust as being top shelf. I've heard a few
songs from it. Who hasn't?! But I've never been able to ask any
one person what THEIR experience is with it.
