Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

R.I.P. David Bowie

Lyrics to David Bowie's latest single - Lyracus !!

Look up here, I'm in heaven

I've got scars that can't be seen

I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger

I've got nothing left to lose

I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl

Dropped my cell phone down below

Ain't that just like me?

Was out on Saturday buying the latest Bowie lp... It's like 2016 did you really have to fling this at us in January? Went through all his classic lps in my student days - there are an absolute ton!

I remember the day back in the 80s when my dad woke me about 5:30 am, with tears in his eyes, to tell me someone had shot John Lennon.. At that time I couldn't grasp how the death of a musician would have affected him so deeply.. until today

Very sad to hear. I too grew up with his music. Particularly loved the stuff up to about 1974, although I still have many many recordings of his I love that were after that - Heroes, Sound and Vision, Scary Monsters, and China Girl to name but a few.

I remember seeing him on Top of the Pops as Ziggy Stardust and being fascinated by him.

Loved his work since Ziggy Stardust and saw him a number of times since the Thin White Duke tour. What always struck me was he was probably the one artist that everyone liked, summed up by a great advert in the NME around the time punk was strong in the 1970's:

"There's Old Wave, there's New Wave and there's David Bowie"

Totally agree with that Dibble! He was so unique with his "punk" style his music is very very rarely on "The Best of the 70s" style albums.

National day of mourning? I mean we had to endure one for the Princess Di... this feels like something far more wide reaching.

I cannot pretend to know every song Bowie ever made, nor proclaim him my favourite artist ever, but what is abundantly clear is that he had a massive influence on so many bands I grew up with. Plus the guy knew how to take a risk. For those two things alone, thanks man.
