From the Wall Of Sound website:
David Bowie mocked it, Freddie Mercury flaunted it, Madonna took it into the bedroom, Elvis and The Beatles reinvented it, and now the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has put it on display.

As you may or may not know, Napster.com was the winner of the 'Webby Award' for Music-related websites. The votes were obviously cast before the release of V.2!!
Sometimes called "the Oscars of the Internet," the Webby awards are voted on by a panel of experts in electronic and traditional media, including filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening and rock singer David Bowie. The People's Voice winners were selected by more than 134,000 Internet users.

Click on the above image of the Sex Pistols' 'The Filth and the Fury' CD cover to take you to a competition to win the CD and posters from the film. While you are there check out the track-listing of this excellent double CD set. You may notice that apart from 'The Jean Genie' there is a track called 'Glass Of Champagne' credited to Sailor...hmmm
It would seem that some of you missed the mouse-overs on the pictures of Johnny Rotten in the Pistols' piece in yesterday's news. Go back and look again to see exactly what it was that may have prompted David Bowie to say in 1977: "When Ziggy fell from favour and lost all his money, he had a son before he died... Johnny Rotten".
Oh and btw...the 'Sailor' mentioned above have nothing to do with the Sailor often found lurking in chat...even though the lead singer of the band did nick the idea of an anchor painted on his left cheek! (No Rednik...I mean the cheek on his face!)

A speechless jelly...
The wonderfully cute Gail Porter, (who admits being reduced to a speechless jelly when she attempted to interview David Bowie at NetAid) graces the front of the current Radio Times' Webwatch Magazine. Webwatch is a new guide "to the best of TV, film and radio online", and it has this to say about www.davidbowie.com: "By far the most prominent rock star on the web is David Bowie, who admits to being more interested in the internet than he is in making promo videos for his own records. See what he's capable of at this outstanding site." And as if to drive the point home, they illustrate a pic from the '87 Glass Spider Tour with the following caption: "David Bowie devotes more time to his website than his music videos"... Quite right too!

The much-hyped Roseland Ballroom shows just got even more exciting as a 3rd night has been added! Tickets for the show on June 16th are SOLD OUT (and went fast, the whole place sold out in 20 minutes). Tickets for the newly added June 17th gig, are STILL AVAILABLE BUT GOING FAST!!!! And tickets for the Members-Only Gig on June 19th (one month from today, so get out your planners!) are STILL AVAILABLE through BowieNet.
Go to Ticketmaster.com to purchase tickets for the 17th!! But hurry, they won't be available for long!
Taking its name from a tabloid headline following the infamous 'Bill Grundy' four-letter outburst by the Sex Pistols on peak-viewing 'tea-time' TV back in 1976, 'The Filth and the Fury', is now showing nation-wide here in the UK. The film also sees the simultaneous release of a double CD soundtrack, which apart from a scorching selection of Pistols' songs, includes numbers from the period that helped shape the overall identity of the band, among those songs is David Bowie's 'The Jean Genie'. Go here for a closer look at the Bowie/Sex Pistols link.

www.vh1.com have launched 100 fan clubs, and there is a comprehensive new page for db. You get the latest (well almost) news, TV listings, life story, influences, and tour information. There are also audio, video and images sections, as well as a message board, swap shop, and merchandise. The images look like screen grabs from 'Storytellers', and the videos are from programmes featured on VH1. You can also tell them about your favourite db sites.
It's no Bowienet, but worth a look all the same.

This up-coming book, which is an in-depth, beautifully and originally illustrated analysis of db's style over the years, gets a good review in MOJO this month.
The reviewer says "The real drama of Bowie's fundamental challenge to everybody's identity problems (via the fantasy of stardom) emerges strongly."
Also, "Bowie raised questions of artificiality both intelligently and whole-heartedly so that, at his best, he wasn't about style, he was about life and what he did was art. Which is better and more scary than style."
The review is accompanied by a shot I haven't seen before, of David, Angie and Duncan.
Go here, for the full review and photograph
The book, by Mark Paytress with Steve Pafford, is published in the UK by Omnibus, price £19.99

You heard about the Members-Only show at Roseland on the 19th of June, but we would now like to announce another gig, but this time, the show is open to the world! Friday, June 16th, Roseland Ballroom, NYC! Tickets ($40 each) go onsale this Friday, May 19th at the Roseland box office, and at all Ticketmaster locations, online, in-person, and charge-by-phone. A reminder: the venue is an open ballroom, with one level (no balcony), and NO RESERVED SEATING, so if you want to be up close to DB, get there early!
For more information, go to any of these 3 sites:
Also, let it be known that Beatnik, the company that has brought sound and music to BowieNet (via the oh-so-talented Chris Haskett), will not only be present at the shows, but they will bring with them even MORE cool technology to add to the incredible live experience of seeing David in a small, indoor venue. It's going to be a wild time, so get your tickets a.s.a.p.!!!
As everyone knows, the V.2 Discourse Section is the area where members can post anything from comments, to images and music. The postings get updated on a daily basis! As a reminder, there is a 50 kb limit to image file sizes, so if you plan on posting a large image, please optimize the image by resizing it so the file size is under 50 kb.

There has been tons of great stuff flowing in from every corner of the globe, so keep on postin' it up!!!
