so.. i have never been a fan, i admire his work and respect what he did..
but this new single he released yesterday, its garbage..
utter shite.
it song sounds like it would be on a karaoke machine in a small bar, and the voice.. its flat, uninspired

Stop picking on Bowie

Imagine your favourite artists goes on hiatus for 10 years, needed emergency heart surgery and recently gets covered by gossip tabloids saying he's an old sad man.
Then suddenly a new single appears and announces a new album. Do you still wonder about the excitement?

"..whatever The Next Day sounds like, he's turned it into the biggest release of 2013 by the simple expedient of doing absolutely nothing other than make an album."
have to give him credit for that.

we can say whatever we want, it's fucking David Bowie... I mean, it's an icon. Not plenty of artists will reach that place nowadays.

I never liked him. He's such a terrible singer. He's one of those guys that has a distinctive sound so him not being a great singer doesnt matter to his fans. I guess they would say he's an artist and I have a lot of respect for him, but I need good singers.
Reminds me of guys like Kurt Cobain, Neil Young, Roger Waters, guys with very well known voices but are horrible singers. I just cant get past it though. Every time I hear Pink Floyd I just heard a really bad singer.
- Not a fan of Pavement then, eh?digitdaily
- To hell with Iggy Pop and anyone else not using autotune too. Right.eflips

A really good cover of Bowie's Suffragette City by the Acorns:

– Why the white square obscuring the image?
We worked on hundreds of designs using the concept of obscuring this cover but the strongest ones were the simplest – it had to be something that was in direct contrast to the image underneath but that wasn’t too contrived (we know all design is contrived, that is the essence of the word ‘design’). It would have been clearer to many people if we had scribbled all over the cover but that didn’t have the detachment of intent necessary to express the melancholy of the songs on the album. Obscuring Bowie’s image is also reference to his identity, not only in the past when he changed endlessly but that he has been absent from the music scene for the past ten years. Was this an act to hide his identity or that he has simply become more comfortable with it?

i love the guy but most of his work is boring anyway. now he's old as fuck too, at 66. surprised he's even still making music
- Yeah, fuck old people, they're like, old, and shit. What would they know about anything?eoin
- it's not the knowing, it's the performing. a lot of folks his age just lay down and retirescarabin
- Fair point, in a way I respect him less coming out of his unofficial retirement; I thought it showed real artist-over-ego strength to know when to stop. That said, it's nice to hear new work, provided it's worthy of his reputation. Sorry if my first reply seemed a bit snippy.eoin
