About the BowieEno CD-ROM:
'It's particularly complex as it's extremely revolutionary hopefully in its
inception and has all the inherent problems that pertain to this kind
of creative situation'.
'The BowieEno CD-ROM contains music specifically written for this medium'.
'Videos long ago ceased to hold any interest at all for me. CD-ROMs at the
moment in the main seem to be little more than catalogue devices and have
quickly become boring. The potential is huge, but inventive manipulation is
absolutely essential if it is not to become the quad of the end of the
millennium'.
'I'm trying to build a stronger interrelationship between music, theatre,
the plastic arts like painting and stuff, and CD-ROMs themselves. It's a
bit like spinning plates with food on them!'
'I've decided that this <AOL> is the only way to do
interviews/correspondence. I shall now only be available on this medium'.
About the spiritual side of his music:
'...A very early example, I suppose, is Space Oddity. A more obvious
example would be Word On A Wing, ... More recently, the underlying thread
of Black Tie White Noise tried to unify a sort of passion and the spiritual
font from which it flowed: the wedding thing. I find in my very present
work a more anxious cloud is appearing on the horizon. Golly!'.
About his collaborations:
'It's always something that I've found to be one of the most fulfilling
situations to be in. There's nothing more exciting than bouncing ideas off
the head that contains half a mind. As long as one's self has the other
half, a good idea can often unite said brain'.
'He <Trent Reznor> and Beck in fact are two of the more interesting artists
working at the moment'.
o Bowie once said in response to a question about when he would be writing an
autobiography 'I think there have already been a lot of autobiographies
haven't there?'
o Talking about drugs (don't know the date):
'...After that humiliation, I went to my wardrobe closet and locked all my
characters inside'

Part 3. Discography, filmography, and the rest of the gang
3.1 Introduction
o Bowie is a genius with receipts. He invented new styles and stopped
developing them when others adopted them. Every album he did was different
from his previous one. One album he did (Ziggy Stardust) is considered to
be one of the best rock albums.
He began his career 30 years ago, and since then he managed to do almost
everything: he wrote songs, played in movies, worked as a producer,
recorded cover versions, and wrote music for movies. This part will focus
on describing his work.

3.3 Re-releases
o Ryko, in the years 1990-92 re-released all Bowie's albums from the years
'69-'80. The re-releases include photographs, bonus tracks (singles,
previously unreleased material, demos, live versions) (except Aladdin
Sane), the lyrics (except Diamond Dogs and Station To Station, and songs
that he covered - that includes Pin-Ups), and are digitally remastered.
o Ziggy Stardust was also re-released in a limited edition in a box with a
booklet by both Ryko and EMI (1990). In 1994, Ryko also issued a limited
edition golden disc.
o Ryko also released collections with previously unreleased material, and
live performances ('92-'95).

packaging, and a much lower price.

Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite).
o Virgin, in 1995, re-released Bowie's albums from the eighties (Let's
Dance, Tonight, Never Let Me Down). They all come with bonus tracks.
Oddly enough, they removed one song (Too Dizzy) from Never Let Me Down.
They also re-released Tin Machine (and included a bonus track), Black Tie
White Noise, and The Buddha Of Suburbia (with a different cover/packaging).
There was a problem finding his eighties albums until recently in most

3.7.2 Song Books
o TheSongsOfDavidBowie
o David Bowie Anthology
o David Bowie Song Book
3.7.3 Related books
o Free Spirit
Written by his ex-wife, Angie Bowie. This book tries to focus on the
imaginary events that happened when she was married to him :-)
(In other words, this book is not reliable).
o Backstage Passes
Written by his ex-wife, Angie Bowie. Almost the same as Free Spirit, but
the note for that book applies here exactly.
3.7.4 What else?
o A back issue (around 1993) of the british magazine Arena was dedicated
solely to Bowie. The 200+ page issue included extensive collection of
pictures, including recent pictures of Bowie's son, interviews with Bowie
and many people who've worked with him and were inspired by him. It also
deals with all aspects of his career up to Buddha Of Suburbia, including
his fine-arts work.
3.8 Other releases
o Transformer (Lou Reed) (1972)
Bowie produced this album.
o All The Young Dudes (Mott The Hoople) (1972)
Bowie produced this album.
o The Stooges - Raw Power (All songs mixed by Bowie) (1973)
Infamously uncommercial album from the legendary Stooges was given to Bowie
to remix, hoping that the name would help sales (didn't though).
According to Bowie, Iggy and the Stooges had just used 3 of the 24 tracks
when recording. The mixing consisted therefore mostly of (again according
to David Bowie) of turning the volume of the guitar up and down.
There's an album Rough Power which contains original demos and radio
sessions of Raw Power tracks before Bowie got his hands on it. Iggy Pop
fans (and the Stooges) say that Bowie ruined the album with his remixing.
o Iggy Pop - The Idiot (All songs produced by Bowie) (1977, re-released
1990).
Actually, it only says 'recorded by Bowie' on the sleeve, it doesn't say
'produced by Bowie', but it's a common belief he produced the album. The
following songs were written by Pop/Bowie: Nightclubbing, Funtime, Baby,
China Girl (that was later recorded on Bowie's album Let's Dance in 1983),
Dum Dum Boys, Tiny Girls, Mass Production. The song Sister Midnight (which
is on the 1979 album Lodger with different lyrics and title) was written by
Pop/Bowie/Carlos Alomar. Bowie also sings backing vocals on many of the
songs.
o Iggy Pop - Lust For Life (All songs 'recorded by Bowie', 'produced by
Bewlay Bros.', as it says on the sleeve) (1977, re-released 1990)
Songs written by Pop/Bowie: Lust For Life, Some Weird Sin, Tonight,
Success. Turn Blue was written by Pop/Walter Lacey/Bowie/Warren Peace,
Neighborhood Threat was written by Pop/Bowie/Ricky Gardiner, Fall in Love
With Me was written by Pop/Bowie/Hunt & Tony Sales.
Bowie is credited as playing piano and with backing vocals.
The rest of the band is part of the Tin Machine line up, the Sales brothers
(as well as Carlos Alomar and Ricky Gardiner).
Bowie recorded both Tonight and Neighborhood Threat for his 1984 album
Tonight.
According to rumours (spread by Pop's fans), Iggy took a much larger part
in the production of the second album, even turning up to the studio before
Bowie arrived so he could lay down the vocals exactly as he wanted them.
o Iggy Pop - TV Eye (1977)
From the 1977 tour. Bowie on keyboards and backing vocals.
o Iggy Pop - Suck On This (1977)

Isolation, Blah-Blah-Blah, Hideaway, Little Miss Emperor.
o Absolute Beginners (1986)
The soundtrack of the movie by the same name, for which Bowie wrote two
songs (and is the lead singer): Absolute Beginners and That's Motivation.
He also sings Volare (written by Modungo and Migliacci). This song can only
be found on the CD or 2LP version of the soundtrack (and not on the 1LP).
o Labyrinth (1986)
The soundtrack of the movie Labyrinth, produced by Jim Henson.
David wrote the following songs (produced by him and Arif Mardin): Magic
Dance, Chilly Down, As The World Falls Down, Within You, Underground.
According to the musician info on the sleeve, he is the lead vocalist on
all of the songs, but it's obvious he does not sing in Chilly Down.
There's also Opening Titles Including Labyrinth (written by Bowie and
Trevor Jones, produced by Bowie, Mardin, and Jones) in which Bowie sings,
and is actually a different version of Underground.

o Jump: The David Bowie Interactive CD-ROM (1994)
Produced by ION. Copyright 1994, ISBN 1-885245-00-9. The CD lets you edit
your own Jump They Say video, mix your own version of the music, or
'explore a virtual world of hidden animations, sounds, pictures and other
surprises'. It contains four videos from the album and some interview
clips.
Bowie said that his involvement with this project was minimal.
o Heaven And Hull (Mick Ronson) (1994)
Bowie sings on Like A Rolling Stone. He also sings backing vocals on
Colour Me and All The Young Dudes.
o Ava Cherry and the Astronettes - People From Bad Homes (recorded 1973,
released 1995)
Sometime around 1973, David decided he would make an album for the
Astronettes, a trio of singers who had done back-up vocal work for him.
Recordings took off during November 1973 at Trident Studios, but the album
was never finished, and was totally shelved. In 1995, MainMan/Golden years
have decided to release the songs from the album in their unfinished form
(demos, presence of numerous reference vocals).
Songs written by Bowie: I Am Divine (according to the sleeve, also sung
by Bowie) - you need to scan back from the beginning of the first track to
hear it, I Am A Laser (which david re-wrote later as Scream Like A Baby),
and People From Bad Homes (which has nothing to do with the song Fashion).
Other songs on the album are covers.
o Showgirls (1995)
This soundtrack includes I'm Afraid Of Americans, a Bowie/Eno composition,
performed by Bowie.
o The Sacred Squall Of Now (Reeves Gabrels) (1995)
Two Gabrels/Bowie songs are included: King Of Stamford Hill and You've Been
Around on which Bowie sings (originally appeared on Black Tie White Noise).
o Only After Dark (Mick Ronson) (1995)
This includes Play Don't Worry, for which Ronson used the backing track of
a Pin-Ups outtake of White Light/White Heat.
o The Rockridge Synthesizer Orchestra Plays David Bowie (release date
unknown)
Instrumental versions of Bowie's greatest hits. Bowie wasn't directly
involved in the project.
3.9 Important notes
o This part only covers officially released material. There are hundreds of
bootlegs (pirated, illegal albums) with many songs he never recorded on his
studio albums, or in totally different versions. The quality of the
bootlegs ranges from very bad to very good.
o Bootlegs aren't normally available in normal stores (you can find bootlegs
at the Underground and at Tower Records). If you're looking for bootlegs,
you can check out your used records store, trade with your friends, or buy
them through offers that are frequently posted on the newsgroup (if you are
the kind of person who trusts people he doesn't know).
o You can get a list of bootlegs from Evan's site. You can find three
different discographies there. One of them is incomplete and inaccurate
(15k), but the other two are so detailed and useful (approx. 200k each),
you'll probably get annoyed discovering how many songs are missing from
your Bowie collection.
3.10 What's next?
o Maybe a new album Inside (mostly instrumental).
o Plans to develop Nathan Adler's twisted sci-fi world over a series of
albums with Brian Eno as the producer.
o If these ideas ever see the light of day, Bowie hopes the project will
climax with an extravagant piece of 'epic-theatre' in the year 2000.
o A BowieEno CD-ROM. Bowie had troubles finding a distribution company, so he
(and Eno) decided to release it themselves.
==============================================================================
Part 4. Song discussion
4.1 Love You Till Tuesday
o There's an English/German version Lieb' Dich Bis Dienstag co-written with
Busch, that can be found on the bootleg TV Rebell.
4.2 When I Live My Dream
o There's an English/German version Mit Mir In Deinem Traum co-written with
Busch, that can be found on the bootleg TV Rebell.
4.3 Space Oddity
o Supposedly inspired by the flight of the Apollo 8 astronauts.
o Bowie later returned to Major Tom in his 1980 hit, Ashes to Ashes from the
album Scary Monsters.
o There are also Italian and French versions.
o An old version is available on Love You Till Tuesday.
o An alternative version is available on the Scary Monsters re-release.
4.4 Letter To Hermione
o Letter to Hermione was written after Bowie's girlfriend Hermione
Farthingale left him.
4.5 Conversation Piece
<NEW>
o There's a typo on the cover of the Ryko re-release of Space Oddity (that
includes this song as a bonus track): 'Written by David Bower'.
4.6 Memory Of A Free Festival
o The song is about a music festival Bowie organized in the sixties.
4.7 All The Madmen
o E.S.T refers to Electic Shock Treatment, or Electric Shock Therapy, an
effective treatment for some types of deep depression which was commonly
used for other mental illnesses in the sixties and the seventies.
o Some think it was written about Bowie's half brother, Terry, who suffered
from mental problems.
<UPDATED>
o 'Ouvre le chein' means open the dog in French. The words refer to an
ancient pagan ritual.
<UPDATED>
o 'Zane' is not French. It's a name.
4.8 London Bye Ta-Ta
o The music of this song, recorded 1970, is the same as Threepenny Pierrot,
(written by Bowie, and available on the bootleg Pierrot In Turquoise)
recorded earlier that year.
4.9 Life On Mars
o 'It's on Amerika's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennon's on sale again'
(as appears on both Ryko & the original RCA vinyl lyrics sheets)
There is some disagreement about whether David really sang Lennon or Lenin.
The song can be interpreted as that he is talking about the American
capitalist society, and that workers refer to the communism way of living.
(which implies it is Lenin)
BUT, In 1970 John Lennon released his first major album after the breakup
of the Beatles. One of its major tracks is the song Working Class Hero
(that Bowie covered with Tin Machine). Furthermore, the album Hunky Dory
is filled with references to pop icons from the sixties.
4.10 The Bewlay Brothers
o The Bewlay Brothers are probably a reference to the Kray Brothers, rulers
of London's underworld in the late sixties, but now the best know for
inspiring the Piranah Brothers of Wither Canada Fame.
4.11 Kooks
o Inside the album cover of Hunky Dory, there's a print (in Bowie's
handwriting) 'for little Z.'. The album was released approx. the same time
his son was born (Zowie). On a bootleg album (Unauthorised Gene Genie, 4
CD set), Bowie says that he got a phone call that he had a baby son, thus
wrote the song (he also asked for forgiveness because he was not real sure
of the words and that he would try his best). The song talks about cribs
and school and homework, so it's pretty sure it was written for Zowie.
4.12 Quicksand
o A discussion about this song in the newsgroup led to the conclusion that
it's about buddhism.
4.13 Five Years
o A Meta-lyric (rarely seen in rock songs):
'I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milk-shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song'
4.14 Rock 'n Roll Suicide
o Some think it was written about Lou Reed.
4.15 John, I'm Only Dancing
o Two interpretations:
1. A man telling his boy lover not to be jealous of his dancing with a
woman.
2. A man telling his friend he's only dancing with his (the boyfriend's)
girl, not seducing her.
4.16 Song For Bob Dylan
o A tribute song for Bob Dylan.
4.17 Andy Warhol
o A tribute song for Andy Warhol.
4.18 Queen Bitch
o A tribute song for Velvet Underground.
4.19 Velvet Goldmine
o There's some controversy over whether the words in the chorus are king
volcano, or kimba kano.
4.20 The Jean Genie
o Supposedly written in tribute to Iggy Pop. On the Santa Monica 1972
version, David says that it's about 'A New York lady and a guy who lives
in New York and he's called The Jean Genie'.
In an article in Musician back before the Sound & Vision tour, Bowie
said that Jean Genie was about Jean Genet (the homosexual French author),
Though he might have been obliquely also referring to Iggy.
4.21 My Death
o Drouet was a French general from the 19th century.
4.22 Diamond dogs
o The phrase Tod Browning's freak you was refers to the film Freaks produced
and directed by Tod Browning.
4.23 1984
o One line is the song presents a very difficult problem...
'Beware the savage ___' - jaw? shore? lore? roar? door? Take your pick.
4.24 Dodo
o A George Orwell 1984 inspired song.
4.25 Candidate (demo)
o There has been some discussion on the newsgroup about whether one line goes
'I'll make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself' or
'I'll make it a thing, when I get out on stage to believe in myself'.
The reached conclusion was that the first possibility is definitely
correct.
4.26 Young Americans
o 'I heard the news today oh boy' is a quote from the Beatles song A Day In
Life.
o There is some controversy about whether one line is the chorus is 'her
Ford Mustang' or 'her red Mustang'.
4.27 Fame
o David's only number 1 hit in the U.S.
4.28 Station To Station
o Which of the lyrics are correct, anybody knows?
'Wonder who, wonder who, wonder when' / 'Wonderful, wonderful, wonder
winds'
'Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?' / 'Have you such fortunes in
faces and child'
<NEW>
4.29 TVC15
o The song is about a television the sucks in the viewer.
o TVC15 stands for Television Channel 15.
o TVC15 was a company in NYC that worked with holograms/holographs.
4.30 Warszawa
o Warszawa (Warsaw) is the capital of Poland.
o There's a typo on the cover of the Ryko re-release of Stage (that includes
a live version of this song). It's listed as 'Warsawza'.
4.31 Heroes
o Heroes is the song Bowie likes the most from his own repertoire. Many
versions exist: studio, live, French (Heros), German (Helden),
German/English and French/English.
o Two theories exist as to the original language it was written in.
The first:
A story from those times said that originally Heroes was written and sung
in German but RCA wouldn't release it because they said it was
uncommercial. Bowie then re-recorded it in English and did a French version
for good measure. This is why the English lyrics and the way he sings them
are so drab compared to the German ones.
And the second:
Bowie once claimed that the lyrics were translated from his English version
to the German version by one of the background singers, apparently a German
girl.
For a native German the German lyrics are funny, because the accent is
atrocious and the grammar is bad.
4.32 Helden
o There's a controversy on whether Bowie sings 'Schuesse reiszen die Luft' or
'Schuesse peitschen die Luft'.
4.33 Joe The Lion
o A tribute song for Chris Burden.
4.34 V-2 Schneider
o A tribute song for Florian Schneider (Kraftwerk).
4.35 Red Money
o This song uses the backing track of Sister Midnight, which was written
by Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Carlos Alomar, and originally appeared on Pop's
album The Idiot.
4.36 It's No Game
o 'Throw a rock upon a road, and it breaks into pieces
Shake a branch upon the snow, the sun is defeated
Pull the curtains on yesterday, and it seems so much later
Put a bullet in my brain, and I make all the papers'
These lyrics originally appeared on the song Tired Of My Life, recorded
in 1970, and said to be the first song written by Bowie (available on the
bootlegs Lost In Our Vaults Until Now and The Shadow Man).
4.37 Ashes To Ashes
o The video for Ashes To Ashes is considered ground-breaking.
4.38 Scream Like A Baby
o A rework of Bowie's old song I Am A Laser (that appeared on Ava Cherry's
People From Bad Homes).
4.39 Crystal Japan
o Two theories exist as for the origin.
Either it is from the original Scary Monsters outtakes, or it was
originally recorded for a TV commercial David did in Japan.
4.40 China Girl
o co-written by Bowie and Iggy Pop, and originally sung by Iggy.
o The video was censored in many countries.
4.41 This Is Not America
o This song appeared as the title track for the film The Falcon And The
Snowman.
4.42 Dancing In The Streets
o That was a benefit for the Live Aid conference.
o Performed with Mick Jagger.
4.43 Day In Day Out
o There's a Spanish version called Al Alba.
4.44 Fame '90
o A '90 remix of the original track written in 1975 with John Lennon.
o Originally released on the Pretty Woman soundtrack.
4.45 The Buddha Of Suburbia
o In two places, there are riffs from old Bowie songs. The 'Zane, Zane, Zane'
refrain from All The Madmen, and the riff which follows the chorus in
Space Oddity.
4.46 Leon Takes Us Outside
o It's Leon reciting dates. At least a few of them are from the story.
4.47 Outside
o Outside is based on Tin Machine's Now, written by Bowie and Gabrels, which
was originated from the 1988 version of Look Back In Anger.
4.48 The Heart's Filthy Lesson
o According to the lyric sheet, the second line goes 'sitting in a laugh
hotel' but some people think he's saying 'life hotel' because (they think)
it makes more sense.
4.49 Segue - Baby Grace
o There's a controversy on whether that last line goes
'And I think something is going to be horrid' or
'And let me think. Something is going to be heard'.
4.50 The Motel
o No one knows what he's saying over the end:
'And there's no more than me explode in you' or
'And there's no more than me exploding you'.
4.51 Segue - Algeria Touchshriek
o Is it 'A reject from the world wide internet' or 'A reject from the world
wide intellect'. what he's saying there?
4.52 Segue - Nathan Adler
o Choose between these two:
'He jumps up on the stage
With a criss criss machete
And slashes around cutting his ear on everything
I mean a zero in the fabric of time itself'
'He jumps up on the stage
with a kris kris machete
And slashes around cutting a zero in everything,
I mean a zero in the fabric of time'
4.53 Through These Architect's Eyes
o Richard Rogers, British architect, is known for externalizing mechanical
systems, such as elevators and escalators he co-designed The Pompidou
Centre in Paris and also did Lloyd's Building in London.
o Philip Johnson, born 1907, graduated Harvard, director of architecture
dept. of MOMA, NY: as such organized exhibition in international style
which introduced America to such as Mies van der Rohe; experimented with
classical elements (seminal post-modernism); built a glass house in 1949
and a glass cathedral in 1980. He also designed the IDS Tower in
Minneapolis, and other buildings in other big cities: New York, Los
Angeles and Chicago.
P. Johnson is arguably one of the three most influential American
architects of the 20th century. The other two are I.M. Pei and Frank
Lloyd Wright. Johnson's 'look' is probably best defined in his AT&T
building (Bowie also refers to the AT&T building in Goodbye Mr. Ed, BTW).
He's just been contracted to design and build a massive new complex in
Berlin (which will be named after him) at the Brandenburg Gate. He was
also an acknowledged Nazi in the past ('Sex and Nazis can do quite well',
a famous quote).

Part 8. Who is the best solo artist in the whole human history?
David Bowie!!!
{My personal opinion: I like everything he did in the years '69-'80 except
Diamond Dogs which I hate and I rarely listen to, and when I do I never enjoy
it too much. I also enjoy listening to Labyrinth (that I know is considered
to be junk) and sometimes Tin Machine II.
I happen to think that his last album is brilliant.
My personal favourite album is definitely Scary Monsters, and not Ziggy
Stardust (that's my second favourite)}
