Flora MaDonald Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Billy Sloan told a story the other day from when he was playing the Barras in the 90s. It was a nice day so him and Iman walked it down from One Devonshire Gardens to sit on the hill in Kelvingrove Park with some ice creams. Billy had interviewed him at the gig and Bowie told him he'd admired the architecture on his walk. A few days later Billy was talking to his pal from the West End who said "I was looking out the window the other day and there was a guy who was David Bowie's double staring up at the tenement roof" Aye, UKaye Adams has been telling anyone who'd listen she saw him walking down Hyndland Road.

Toepoke Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Sat up last night watching the Five Years documentary on the iPlayer. Well worth a look. Ridiculous to imagine such an avant garde artist ending up playing stadiums around the globe... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0214tj1/david-bowie-five-years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Blackstar is a superb album - sad, but I probably wouldn't have paid it any attention if he hadn't passed away. Edited January 17, 2016 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought this was excellent - Mark Radcliffe on 6Music Blackstar is a superb album - sad, but I probably wouldn't have paid it any attention if he hadn't passed away. I'm holding out hoping that HMV restocks the vinyl edition before I head back to Osaka next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm giving Station to Station some regular rotation - can't believe I overlooked this. Never got that one either, I think probably because I had half of it on a compilation. Aladdin Sane is the album I missed out on that's been discovered since last week. Lady Grinning Soul, what a tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read a quarter of the albums in the current top 40 are by Bowie (studio albums and a compilations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyTJS Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Good stuff. I don't know where you two gents stand on Bowie's pre-'Space Oddity' / Tony Newley period, but I've always had a soft spot for this 'un: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUH6vae0mec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Laud Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 In the local paper on friday.Bowie played the Adam Smith hall in Kirkcaldy just after he had a hit with space oddity.He said he was glad to get out of there as the crowd were throwing lit cigarette ends at him on the stage. He never appeared in Kirkcaldy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That could be the one Donny. Pretty sure it is. It was made by Alan Yentob during Bowie's Diamond Dogs US tour when he was shifting to Philly Soul and weighing just under next to nowt. I think it was Omnibus rather than Arena in those days, though Yentob went on to produce Arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
