Running random Bowie videos on youtube since I found out. Good choices for me: Heart's Filthy Lesson, I'm Afraid of Americans, Jump They Say, some of the Seu Jorge stuff from The Life Aquatic. I'm loving crushed, too. I'm so not loving okay. Snot-nosed bawling at 32 years old.

I seriously can't stop crying. He's been such a major part of my life since I was born back in 81. It's going to be difficult getting through this. Nothing has been as consistent and influential. I really feel like I've lost a family member.

Anyone got a good primer on Bowie for a noob? I feel like going to Spotify and listening to Blackstar first thing doesn't really give you much in the way of history

Alan Smithee posted:Anyone got a good primer on Bowie for a noob? I feel like going to Spotify and listening to Blackstar first thing doesn't really give you much in the way of history there was a discussion about this a few days ago you should probably read, but I'm biased to suggest where I started: 2002 comp "Best of Bowie," which I believe is his densest mostly-career-spanning retrospective (fits on 1CD!) he did not release a single bad album from The Man Who Sold the World to Scary Monsters, unless you count Pin Ups (no one counts Pin Ups), so that's probably the next step. obviously that might be kind of daunting, so I'd next go to whatever albums that contain the songs you like most from that collection again this is one of like 800000 suggestions in the world (I'm sure everyone from Pitchfork to The AV Club has one too) but I think is one of the more easily-digestible options for someone going in somewhat blind vvvv yeah if you want to start with an album, this is probably the one abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Jan 11, 2016 |

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars was probably the gateway album for a lot of people so starting there surely wouldn't hurt.

Any good readups about his significance? I feel like with music it's a lot harder to just pick and play whille really getting a sense of their work's resonance without knowing the time and context of their releases

I can't sleep at all. I think like a lot of people it's impossible to summarize the effect his music had on my life but I feel just heartbroken that he died at a relatively young age, and was still making such good music. I just wish I could have thanked him.

If you're totally unfamiliar it might be good to just listen to "Blackstar" the song first, for a view of modern Bowie, and then start from the beginning. If you just start from the beginning as a non music nerd some of the older stuff might sound dated. But everything he ever did was cutting-edge. Music, visual arts, digital mixed media. He was a pioneer in so many fields.

this is a good read-along if you really want to focus on his music, but I wouldn't exactly start at entry 1  though for other people: if you feel inspired to go through his work track-by-track, pick up the book adaptation, "Rebel Rebel," which goes through 1976 and has lots of rewritten entries for the early stuff that goes into interesting detail

You know, when when people first started talking about Blackstar I thought 'Wow, almost 70 huh? I wonder what it will be like when he dies in a few years, I can't imagine David Bowie quietly expiring in a nursing home somewhere.' And then somehow a few years ended up being a few weeks. RIP.

EatinCake posted:This is loving depressing. Particularly so close to Lemmy's passing. "★" is, as Visconti described it, a Bowie album, the first one I've left on loop since "Scary Monsters." It is charged and scrupulously edited. There are five more songs from these sessions that have yet to be released. So look forward to next Christmas and hope for a deluxe edition.

I woke up at 5am this morning, because the rain was hammering down outside and woke me up. I just had this feeling something terrible had happened, then I saw the news. This is a sad day. Few artists can transcend genre's, but Bowie did it. He just had his own sound, his own genre, refusing to be pigeonholed which made him unique.

cptn_dr posted:We're all a little bit cooler now, because the coolest man on earth just died. At least he died in the most Bowie way imaginable by releasing a brilliant album and music video just days before he died that foreshadowed his imminent death without anyone realizing it. "I'm dying too..... fool them all again and again. "

This is the worst loving way to start my morning. The guy's been my favorite artist ever since I first listened to his work. I loved his recent albums and the majority of his catalogue in general. This loving sucks.

I've been waiting for years in the hope that he'd do one last tour. I never got to see him live and that'll be one of my lifetime regrets.

I was late getting into Bowie but I've really been digging his stuff in a big way over the last few years. Really loving sad to hear he's gone, RIP one of the greatest creative minds of our time.

No Musician has ever been like Bowie for me. I loved the stuff I loved, and I always tried to love the stuff that didn't click, because it was always worth trying with his music. I didn't expect to ever feel so down when a person I have never met passed, but here I am.

I wonder if the music videos for Blackstar and Lazarus were shot recently? If not, I wonder if the rest of the album tracks already have completed videos that will come out posthumously

I choose to believe that the cancer thing is just a cover story, and that Bowie was actually picked up by aliens. He will hang out in space with them and live forever courtesy of UFO tech, beaming down rad new Bowie albums to earth every so often.
