Do you have the Right Stuff for this mission?

We are looking for people to be on the BowieNet v2 Beta test team.

Thats right, 20 members of BowieNet will be asked to be part of our testing crew for the new site. Check out the new features, email till you can’t type any more, post on the message boards, fill out your members profile, post up your personal web space, all that and more.

We will be asking for detailed comments via email. We need you to put the site through it’s paces. If selected, we will send you a username and password.

If your up for this mission, simply fill out the

ask howard and tina

form, and we will select 20 people to help us work out the kinks.

One caveat! If you are selected, this is a top secret mission (no sharing the passwords in the chatroom)!

As BowieNews reported the other day (April 21st), on the 22nd of April on the German/French TV channel called “Arte” there aired a programme called “Metropolis”, with the theme “The cybertalk: David Bowie”.

BowieNet member Bianca not only tipped us off to the show, but has written a nice review of it too for those of us who could not see the show.

Go here for the review

Haven’t actually seen a copy yet, but the June issue of Q has a reader survey of what they consider to be the 100 Greatest British Albums of All-Time. DB has a healthy representation with four albums in the top 30, they are:

#30 Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

#25 The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars

#16 Hunky Dory

#14 Low

Four masterpieces I’m sure you would agree, but perhaps not in quite the order one would expect. Whatever, well done David, here’s to the time, (in the not too distant future) when Joe Public wises up enough to get four albums into the top ten! For a comparison with the last similar poll that Q carried out, click on the logo above.

Remember that David Bowie is the subject of ‘Cash For Questions’ in the July issue of Q, which looks like being a helluva lotta fun. Email your questions to: q@ecm.emap.com

“Strangers When We Met…” aka the ‘David Bowie Cover Project‘ is alive and well! BowieNet will make the 52 finished tracks available for all to hear, and there will be a contest where you, the BowieNet member, will help choose the winning entry or entries. The contest will not begin until after BowieNet V.2 has launched, but stay tuned for updates!! A special thanks go to Ramsey & Keith for starting this great project, and of course, to the many musicians who devoted their time and energy to covering David’s songs!

The Official Holly Palmer Singer Newsletter is in effect! The inaugural mail was sent to us by the folks at HollyPalmerSinger.com:

Hi everyone,
This is the inaugural edition of the Holly Palmer Singer Newsletter. Most of you were transferred from Jason Lent’s Holly Palmer email list. I’d like to thank Jason for the help he’s given to Holly over the years… what a terrific guy, and what a terrific boost he’s given her career. He still runs a great website for Holly, check it out at:

http://geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/6394

Holly’s album release has been pushed back to the summer, but as anyone who’s heard the new songs can testify, the wait will be worth it! Work is also underway to develop HollyPalmerSinger.com version 2. Look for it in the coming months. Until then, we’ll put up a few tidbits here, starting with some new pics and hopefully a video! Stay tuned!

Those in the NYC area are invited out to a series of shows at Arlene’s Grocery (95 Stanton St. between Ludlow and Orchard):

May 2nd, 10pm
May 9th, 9pm
May 16th, 9pm

I’ll end off with a diary entry from Holly.

Hope to see you all at a future Holly show!
