David Bowie digs this man’s door. Most likely the rest of his building too!

Thru’ These Architect’s Eyes…
Anyway, among the recent articles published in the UK is a 4-page feature in the current issue of MOJO magazine, (June 2005) from which, this excerpt:

One especially enthusiastic fan declared on his website that Funeral was his favourite album of 2004. Given that the website was davidbowie.com the recommendation did not go unnoticed, particularly it seems, in Scandinavia, where sales of Funeral increased markedly afterwards.
“David Bowie’s been to three shows now,” says Win. “He said to me he thought the record wasn’t immediately accessible, you kinda had to dig into it. Which I thought was really cool. It’s like you’re an architect, and another architect who’s a lot better than you tells you they like your door.”

If you can get along to any of the shows, and you are a person of good taste, you will not be disappointed. Also, if you haven’t checked out the album yet, don’t be put off by the title…it is an anagram of “Real Fun” after all!
