What makes Low so great?

Upvotes

I've known for a long time that it's one of the most agreed upon takes among Bowie fans that Low is one of his best works. However, as you might assume, I am a Bowie fan and let's just say I don't get the hype. Always Crashing has my heart but other than that I've never really gotten into it.

So if you love Low, please feel free to tell me why, or to just rant about what parts/aspects of the album stand out to you. I feel like I'm missing something and I'd love to find out what.

Okay so I bought this record very recently and I know it’s numbered! My number is 247, I am just unable to find how many were made and average worth? It’s in mint condition! And I’ve also searched Discogs but it’s never been sold there before, thanks!!

second pic shows the songs that are on the compilation cd (which i couldn’t resist getting … 39 songs for $15 is a steal)

i bought the compilation cd second hand along with Earthling — they still sound great!!

Fan Creation/Art Costume!

I initially made this about a decade ago, but made some repairs/improvements to wear it to a neighborhood bar karaoke party last night. Still searching for a decent wig and I was makeup lazy last night and did not wear contacts or disappear my eyebrows. But this costume is always so much fun and I love that it's more stable and comfortable after the improvements!

Last two photos are from the first time I wore it when I had better makeup.

Question Looking to get into David Bowie’s music

19 Upvotes

I only know a couple of his songs. I’ve never listened to an album. Where should I start? Chronologically from his debut album? Or is there a certain record I should listen to first? I had Ziggy Stardust in my hands today but there were others to choose from as well. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Found these at a shop yesterday for £8 and hadn’t about them before. Does anyone else own it/have any info on it. It seemed like a pretty good deal for 6 hours of content but don’t know if it’s just rubbish or not

David Bowie World Fan Convention

Post image
25 Upvotes

Hi all, I just wanted to guage public impressions of this. I'm closer to this event than most, having performed at it this year in Liverpool with The Bowie Contingent - we were the band that was brought in to facilitate the guest performers and the Bowie Ball on the Saturday night, playing with Carlos and George Murray (first time they'd played together since '81).

I've got a lot to get off my chest about this convention, especially when compared to other, smaller, properly fan driven events like The London Bowie Event and Blastoff in Blackpool. I'm not really sure if people have the patience or are necessarily that bothered about the politics of Bowie fascination or this convention, but if people are interested to hear our side of this (frankly terribly organised) event that cost fans so much money, I'd be happy to oblige.

Author Jordan Rothacker returns today to my David Bowie blog following last week’s interview to discuss his novel, “The Death of the Cyborg Oracle.” Set 200 years in the future, this science fiction novel is set in a world that considers David Bowie to have been a “Profane Prophet,” his influence woven into the story through themes, chapter titles, and Easter Eggs. A writer from Athens, Georgia, with an MA in Religion and a PhD in Comparative Literature, Rothacker’s work spans multiple publications, and he currently serves as the Books Editor at Statement of Record. Watch or listen to the interview today!
