Bowiestyle Competition Round-up

Good and bad news for the winners of our BowieStyle competition (Hallo A_Girl, Ysengrin, David Emerson, Pozie, Stephen Kelly)…But, don’t fret as the good easily outweighs the bad!The bad news is that our prize provider seems to have reneged on their original promise…Oh well, sorry kids, but your loss is also your gain, because the good news is that, having heard about the poor treatment our winners have received, Mr David Bowie has decided to provide the winners with a far more valuable personalised prize than they were looking forward to in the first place. So all’s well that ends well. :-)Total Blam Blam (European Correspondent)

Top Tunes?!

What song would you rank as the best ever?

Canoe.ca surveyed the opinions of 20 proven songwriters to come up with a list of the Top 10 songs of all time, and the end result was TWO lists, one for the songwriters’ opinions of the Top 10 songs, and the other is a list of the Top 10 Selling songs. Since the concept of the ”best song’ is so subjective, they’ve decided to turn the question over to the public! Now, you can submit your 3 favorite songs of all time, and explain to them why! See this bit from the website, which includes the information where you can send YOUR choice for the 3 Top Tunes!

“The two charts on this page both purport to list the Top 10 songs of all time. However, since different criteria were used for each chart, they are completely different. So here’s your shot. Tell us your top three songs ever and why. Call us at 667-4578 or e-mail us at topsong@lfpress.com

Best Video Of The 80's?

Go vote for the best of the 80’s video!!! DB has two entries which could appear on ‘The List‘! :

Blue Jean and Ashes to Ashes!

There’s nothing like a good controversy! That’s why VH1 brings you The List ? the nightly show everyone can disagree on. Here’s how it works: four celebrities arrive with opinions about a rock ‘n roll topic like “Best Song of All Time”. They offer their top three choices, and defend them with personal anecdotes and wiseacre quips.

Go vote for DB at VH1’s The List
