Excellent article. Donny McCasslin is a Santa Cruz boy. His dad played the vibraphone in the SF Bay Area and Donny would get to sit in with his dad when he was a kid.

Re: David Bowie RIP
I'm playing Black Star now and pulled out the booklet to look at it again and when I went to put it back in slot where the record goes and decided to put it in the front slot behind the clear plastic piece and discovered that it puts Bowie's photo in the middle of the star. It looks great.

Let's face it, at this stage it was a miracle the poor chap was even able to stand upright ... still, kudos for making Stacey Hayden look moderately cool in comparison!

Re: David Bowie RIP
Last night I dreamt that I was caring for Bowie the weekend that he died. Part of my job was to extract parts of his 'musical spirit' and keep them somewhere safe. Also, to keep him full of opiates. It was very strange and unsettling. Mainly as I can't remember where the hell I put those bits of spirit.

Re: David Bowie RIP
Wow.
I guess Iman has moved out.
Bowie's old home - Available for rent.
Only 43,000 a month...

Re: David Bowie RIP
While the story of David Bowie’s flirtation with fascism and fascist imagery in the 1970s has been oft-told and discussed in subsequent years, its is worth placing in the context of the Musicians’ Union’s politics of the time and to examine the response of the Union to it.

At work as the sun goes down- all the trees are blowing like scarecrow arms. Subterraneans just popped up on YouTube and I'm gone.

Hard to believe it's almost a year since we lost him.

Re: David Bowie RIP
For about two months after Bowie's death, I thought that I should write 'something' on here to memorialise him. It never came around.
Every month that passes, I think about something different to write, ranging from the fact that sometimes I can hear his voice tumbling down from on high saying "stop fucking going on and on, I'm dead, deal with it" to the quiet moments when I can still physically feel his presence, just like when I was a highly hormonal teenager telling my stepmum that I thought he came into my room each night. (I meant literally. He felt like a friend, and friends hang out.)
My selfish sense of loss at his death was magnified a thousand times over by the notion that I never said thank you to his face, I never wrote, I never gave him a thumbs up and a wink. When I was at his exhibition, I was astonished that he had kept absolutely everything, including all fan mail and gestures of adoration. I had all these plans after the exhibition to send him a thank you in a format that he would find hilarious and unique. I mulled it over often, and never did a fucking thing about it.
Soon after he died, I was given his personal email by someone who used to communicate with him. I don't remember numbers and emails, but I remembered this one. On his birthday, I finally got round to sending him an email with all I wanted to say in it. A substantial part of me genuinely believed this email would float off into an ether that would respond with something magical. Of course, the email returned as undeliverable. It's all gone. But I had to send it, anyway.
I was at a Bowie party on my birthday this Saturday. Towards the end of the night, only the hardcore remained, but it was a substantial number. Young and old, dancing or singing, everyone sang along to Life on Mars at midnight. Looking around, I couldn't believe that I ever thought that Bowie would ever die. He is in the lives and faces and eyes of every fucker who sang along. Everyone is smeared in his biofilm. It's a chronic condition. It's wonderful.
I'm a little drunk, so excuse the rambling.

Re: David Bowie RIP
Watching that last 5 years of bowie doc. The two biggest things I took away from it was firstly, he's trust in other musicians to help or just come up with pieces of music for him and secondly how sound he was. I didn't sense any, "he's dead so I have to say he's was nice" vibe from the people who were interviewed.
