I was at the Radio City show..it was interesting..Pixies by far got the loudest applause. I was impressed with Ron Pope (I still don't know who he is), Cat power, Lips, Stipe obviously and J Mascis and Sean Lennon did a sweet one!

Yeah, that was Dennis Davis. He lived a pretty remarkable life. Learned drums from Max Roach and Elvin Jones, got drafted into Vietnam, played with Bowie on some of his most adventurous music, and also played with Stevie Wonder, George Benson, and other heavyweights of music.

I watched Labyrinth yesterday for the first time. Very enjoyable. As a big fan of Bowie and the Muppets, I'm not sure how this one slipped past me for so long.

And Jennifer Connely! Wait, how old was she in that?

Looks like KEXP will be doing a deep dive on Bowie to celebrate his birthday / death.

 

http://blog.kexp.org/davidbowie/

 

It was a year ago this week that KEXP both celebrated the birth and then shockingly, mourned the death of David Bowie at the age of 69. With the help of both those who knew him best and the man himself, KEXP will dig deep into his influential catalog of music spanning nearly 50-years.

 

Beginning Sunday, January 8th, on what would have been David Bowie’s 70th birthday, and culminating Tuesday, January 10th on the one-year anniversary of his passing, KEXP DJs John Richards, Cheryl Waters, Stevie Zoom, Larry Rose and Evie Cooke will share rare songs, and we’ll hear from those who knew Bowie best, including producers and friends Brian Eno, Tony Visconti and Nile Rodgers, as well as, Robert Smith of the Cure, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and even the former Thin White Duke himself. Clips from these interviews will be featured on the KEXP Blog, alongside videos, news, and a list of Bowie-related events around Seattle.

 

“Last year we celebrated 12 hours of Bowie on his birthday and the release of Darkstar. Little did we know he was near death. Days later when we woke up to the terrible news, we turned around and did 12 more hours of nothing but Bowie,” said KEXP Morning Show host John Richards. “There may not be another artist who has influenced and informed every aspect of the KEXP mission than David Bowie. His music has not only influenced nearly every broadcast day that we’ve been on the air, but clearly, his art has propelled so many of the artists we love. Thank you, David Bowie. We miss you every day.”
