I won’t let the day pass without her…
The very classy Princess Superstar, (who has Bad Babysitter new in at number 11 on The Official UK Top 40 Singles Chart) has chosen her ten favourite songs of all time in a regular NME feature called “Burn It”. Along with other top tunes by the likes of The Stooges, (“I’m dying to meet Iggy Pop. The Stooges were probably his best work, but I love the shit he did with David Bowie too.”) Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Roni Size and DJ Shadow, the right royal rapper has chosen David Bowie’s classic epic, ‘Station To Station’ as one of the songs in her list. This is a bit of what she had to say about her selection:
“Have you seen how English my list is? It’s not even intentional. I love this track and ‘TVC15’ – in fact the whole ‘Station To Station’ album is so crazy and funky and conceptual. The track is long – you can put on your make-up and be done by the end of the song. It’s from his real, mid-’70s cocaine period.”
While we’re talking tacky things at NME, (only joking Princess…well, would you cross her? She looks meaner than our very own Kelmar Super Vixen) you may be interested in their celebrity voicemail downloads. The most popular of their downloads is the David Bowie greeting. It’s done in the usual Bowie-imitator voice, you know, the one that doesn’t actually sound anything like him.
Anyway, that doesn’t seem to have bothered the trillions of people who have put it at number one in the download chart, ahead of Eminem, Madonna and Elvis. You can make up your own mind by listening to this preview. Who knows, perhaps we can persuade David to supply the real thing just for us BowieNetters…then again, perhaps not.
