Have I already shared this?

I love it because it showcases that no matter how bonkers and maybe dated to some Earthling sounds like production wise, if you LISTEN to the songwriting it is the most traditional Bowie songs we got in a long shot

Prince played in a 400 cap venue here on his last tour 3 times in a single night after his sold out concert 3 days before and I couldn't get tickets to any of the 4. Too young to have seen Bowie live, think he stopped touring in 2006?

So he technically stopped touring in 2004 right after his heartattack in Germany during the summer while promoting Reality, canceled the rest of the shows.

He did come back on stage until 2006 but it was really one shot short or promo performances or like guest stuff like that.

Here’s the funny thing, it’s nice to romanticize art, people go back to Reality listen to it and a***yze it from there to the The Next Day comeback and put it together like some great masterplan.

But in reality, Bowie never took himself as seriously as the fans did.

And while it is true he did officially announce a break, Bowie didn’t yet stop dropping music... which breaks the myth haha

In 2005 he got back in studio to drop (She Can) Do That for the movie Stealth (Yeah I know, WHO?):

And, well, listen to yourself, no wonder unless you know the title it is very hard to find out about it, no one remembers it, nor do no one wants to remember it, I can guarantee you this ain’t getting no glorified rerelease.

The scariest part? at that same time Bowie made some comments saying his plan was to lay low on the tour but to make bunch of albums starting with this song going forward into electro and techno.

Real spoopy hours.

I guess he soon realized it didn’t work out and wanted to be on the look out for his legacy or something.

But yeah just wanted to take that opportunity to share that, we’re all only humans 😊

This one should work since it’s no auto generated stuff

There’s not a lot of people uploading it on YouTube lol and I think it has more to do with the song quality or how we trying to silence it rather than copyrights haha

God what a s*** song lol

Idk if ppl here knows about Devo? new wave late 70s band with two sets of brothers from Ohio

Their legacy is strong, Rage Against The Machine covered them and the lead dude went on to make the soundtrack for The Sims 2?!

So where does Bowie play in it? he the one that set them up, went to see them live at a club when they were still unsigned, met them and said “Hey I’d like to produce you guys!”

Flew them over Germany (this was during his Berlin era) and paid for ALL their studio time to cover it all with the luxury of being produced by none other than king Brian Eno

Bowie was busy shooting movie Just A Gigolo but dropped by as much as he could for some sessions to do some jam and did record unused vocals, he called them the band of the future

The rest is history

So yeah, no Sims 2 soundtrack if it wasn’t for Bowie in someway

Why am I stopping at Sims 2? I guess because it’s such a funny idea to me, it’s not like it just stops here, he scored Thor Ragnarok of all things, yes, also Lego Movie
