Well nothing said could remotely express the sadness of this
news. I think he was always relevant, at the time and
projecting to the future, and that's why I love his latest
work, back through the 90s 80s and 70s, as much as his
earliest material. Just one example, "Black Tie White Noise"
places me at that time, as well as still sounding like some
very avant garde pop that no-one has yet to touch.

A scary thought for me is that he was there as a guard
against mediocrity - and now he's gone. He's been showing,
up until the last minute, what it is to be true to your own
vision and to continue innovating and creating a unique
worldview. There's so much dross out there, at levels there
were never before, now more than ever do we need someone to
show us it needn't be this way, and that it wasn't ever
thus.

If I hear any twee cover version, presented as a tribute, by
a ukulele yielding hipster mumble-singing, I will fucking
kill a random barista.

yes the guard against mediocrity is very true, and yes if i
hear a twee ukulele cover of one of his songs by a 20 year
old girl for a bank advert i will stick foot through the
fucking tv

does anyone if Bowie tried to coopt Richard into anything
for him, as one criticism that i could lodge against Bowie
was that he was a bit of a bandwagon jumper, but i dont
begrudge him of that as he did it well

"Brian Molko: We hardly listen to rock anymore. We play it
every day, we find we listen to the Aphex Twin a lot, we
listen to Talvin Singh, Joy, DJ Shadow a great deal.

David Bowie: Grooverider's cool, I like his stuff."

he backed the wrong horse that time

Man who fell to earth.

I'm not even being funny but I bet, just to piss me off, I
bet Roger fucking Moore dies this year as well. Fuck it, why
not wipe out Bryan Ferry while you're at it God, you

it's not a 'battle' people do with cancer. if you can't do
surgery, you just take drugs until you die

those terrible pictures like we had with Steve Jobs, press
vultures hounding a dying man, even if i thought he was a
bit of a knob, he no way deserved that

i figure bowie learned his lesson re: "the press" after
spouting neo-nazi gibberish during his cocaine days. years
of practice; the man had that end handled. i figure the fans
gave him more issues, really, given I'm Afraid Of Americans

didnt know anything about his cancer, in the cinema last
saturday there was an ad of bowie advertising his new album

just thought he was an old rocker like all the rest with a
new album
never expected the princess diana treatment that he's been
getting

didnt he try to make drum and bass albums or something

i never enjoyed his music or his fashion style

saying all that it's amazing that he was working hard
creating even though he was really ill

RIP

he blames it on the drugs, but im pretty sure it was a
publicity thing, same with his sexuality, he went back on
what he said. now Brian Ferry i really can believe is a nazi
have you see his sons, they look like hitler youth
