This is a job for ART CRIME INC…or is that ART INK CRIME?

Perhaps the oddest piece of Bowie press here in the UK in recent days, appeared in the dotcom.telegraph pullout of The Daily Telegraph last Thursday 14th. The front of the broad-sheet heralded: “David Bowie puts his new release on the net.”…Quickly leafing through to page eight to see what secret our man had kept from us, I was greeted by two large reproductions (albeit a mono page) of the Bowie art works ‘Head of EB‘ and ‘Hand and Leg‘.

This is where it gets strange. The article was primarily about the controversial Zurich-based internet artists, The etoy.Corporation, and loosely about art on the net. There is a brief mention of www.bowieart.com in a footnote to the piece about selling art online, but one can’t help wondering if either The Telegraph has taken a lesson from CGU (see above) on the value of Bowie helping sell one’s product, or, (a far more exciting theory, but less likely) that perhaps David Bowie is a member of the aforementioned anonymous collective that is The etoy.Corporation!

We can be Heroes…for ever and ever

Vendice Partners would have approved. The appearance of the single version of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ on the double CD compilation ‘The Best TV Ads…Ever!’, brings the total of DB tracks on compilations to three in as many weeks. The idea behind the CD is pretty much self-explanatory, and a full track-listing can be viewed by clicking on the above image. ‘Heroes’ is included here because of its use in the CGU advertising campaign in the UK.

Here is a review of the brilliantly beautiful newBowieStyle book by Mark Paytress & Steve Pafford ofCrankin’ Out.

It was published in the June 2000 issue of monthly UKmag Gay Times on Saturday 20 May. I think it’s areally excellent and favourable (about DB and thebook) piece, with some interesting and valid points.

thanks danny boy

For the completists among you, or those of you that have never heard David Bowie’s ‘The Jean Genie‘, you may need another chance to win a copy of the Sex Pistols’ ‘The Filth and the Fury‘ soundtrack CD that contains that very song (used to great effect in the film when it accompanies a snippet of the groundbreaking Mick Rock video). Be here on Wednesday evening at the usual competition time of 6:00pm EST (11:00pm GMT) to be in with a chance to win one of five copies of this superb double CD.

From the Wall Of Sound website:

David Bowie mocked it, Freddie Mercury flaunted it, Madonna took it into the bedroom, Elvis and The Beatles reinvented it, and now the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has put it on display.
