Dewaele Recognises Bowie's Genius And More In Nme

Soulwax Love…

Stephen Dewaele of 2 Many DJs and Soulwax has praised David Bowie’s Ashes To Ashes in the current issue of NME (13th June) as you can read above.

Of course, the feelings are kind of mutual, DB praised As Heard on Radio Soulwax back in 2002, or earlier, and the outfit have utilised Bowie’s music several times in live sets and on their recordings.

Also in the mag is an 8 out of 10 review of the new Tiny Masters Of Today album (no other artist has a higher rating in this issue) which concludes with: “TMOT have produced an album that’s a stroke of genius…”.

Of course, David Bowie concluded much the same thing back in 2007 in his Nokia review of the band’s Stickin It To The Man…

Punk Rockers eh? Used to be that you had to be well into your teens before you could adopt this level of attitude. But, Brooklyn based bad boy, twelve-year-old Ivan, and his ten-year-old sister Ada have created an instant classic with Stickin It to the Man.

This 2:43 minute slice of detached cool comes across like Suicide crashing a Shaggs rehearsal. How can you resist: “You say yes, I say no. You say stop, I say go. You say up, I say down. You say smile, I say frown. Stickin’ it to The Man, stickin’ it cos I can, stickin it to The Man, every day.” Genius – David Bowie

Elsewhere in the review a certain Ms K Dawson and Mr T Moore are credited as authors of How To Screw The System Pt 1…I always thought that Spaceface got a bit jittery around authority figures…I saw her knock a Bobby’s helmet off with a well-aimed Frisbee once. Honest.
