Bowie

The Thin White Duke is back! David Bowie shocked the music world yesterday releasing a new single and announcing that he would be releasing his first LP in over a decade this upcoming March. All on his 66th birthday! Word is that he has been working in secret on the disc for the past two years. This is exciting news. Bowie has never been shy about pushing the envelope with his music and while I think this first single is a little uneventful, I am very anxious to hear more.  Welcome back David and Happy Birthday!


Here is one of my Bowie favorites

 The new song, 'Where Are We Now' is a rather mellow and reflective tune, hence the title

BOB MARLEY

I finally got a chance to watch the fantastic documentary film MARLEY, about the great Bob Marley. This movie is an enlightening and beautiful tribute to a great man that gave us so much and left us way to early. The film provides and in depth look at Bob's life from those closest to him including surviving band members, wife/girlfriends and children. It unearth's details of what drove Bob to music, his passion to spread his message, his Rastafarianism beliefs, his power to connect countries separated by political differences even surviving an assassination attempt, all the way to behind the scenes footage of the last days of his life. We are presented with details that even the biggest Marley fan and even 'family' members are surprised to find out along with awesome live footage from his earliest shows all the way to his last from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Gone but never forgotten, Bob Marley brought reggae to the world. Some of the best music to ever reach out ears. See this movie.

Enjoy some Bob:
