A little late, but what a talented lady. I was madly in love with her when I was a young dude...

I rarely post stuff like this here because it is kind of nerdy and feels out of place, but the soundtrack for Silent Hill 2 I can make an exception for. That's because the man who made it, Akira Yamaoka, is an astounding composer for movies and video games who finds ways to utilize a soundtrack to give life to the world. For a game like Silent Hill 2 it was important as it added a haunting and foreboding atmosphere. One where the player feels dread not by what they see, but by what they don't see and the soundtrack helps that along immensely when coupled with the excellent sound design by Team Silent. One of the few times I can truly say that a video game transcends into art.

T Bone served the original up


This band's manager recorded this in the studio and released it under a pseudonym without the band knowing.
Some call it the best British blues recording of it's day. Albert Lee on guitar with Chris "Little Joe Cook" Farlowe on vocals.


Served up with some Wavy Gravy at Woodstock

Did you see that new'ish series "Pistol" about the Sex Pistols? Was pretty good. But those guys were all about Bowie.
Yes, I did. Pretty good.

The fellow who played McLaren was the kid in Love Actually. He had Malcolm down to a tee.

BTW, did you say that the Pistols "were all about Bowie?"

I'm certain all of them were influenced by David -- most English pop musicans of the 70s & 80s were -- but if they admitted same, I never read it. The pose was to hate almost everythig that came before, including Bowie.

This, even though Bowie had a major hand in popularizing and resurrecting the careers of Lou Reed and Iggy -- the latter a great hero to the Pistols.

Bowie produced Lou Reed's greatest solo success, Transformer, as well as Iggy's acclaimed solo albums, Lust For Life and The Idiot,



I saw Iggy open for the Stones at the Pontiac Silverdome in MIchigan, 1981, Though a native son from Ann Arbor, MI, the crowd hurled insults and beer cans. Now, of course, he's revered.

I remember reading an article in the 80s, an interview with Johnny Rotten during his PIL days, saying how much they loved Bowie. Could be wrong, the 80s were a long time ago.

My band was the The Specials. But you could hear Bowies influence on all the great bands of 70s/80s bands like Elvis, Smiths, Talking Heads, Joy Division, Echo, Psychadelic Furs, ... But I'm no expert.

More recently in Canada. Montreal's Arcade Fire and Bowie collaborated.
