so it cums to this u incompetent baggage handlers. jarvis has fallen out the window once again. FROM TALENT TO SKA from curator of mope and cognac to trailer and new castle. Modonna is leaving the island to the granduer of nyc. The golden years are over friends. HE could have bowie now hes doing the hippogriff. TA TA
I agree with Labone, I think. Bring back the band, ditch all the arse licking tribute movies, anniversary concert appearances (Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen, Beatles Pepper) & crap cover versions. The solo album was ok but Pulp is better.
Simone, its been a while since we've heard from our favourite guttersnipe rumour spinster! Your information may be accurate but you have failed to mention the most important tidbit of post-pulp history. As we speak Jarvis is joining one trent reznor in the studio to record a double disc album of classic standards. Apparently the two really hit it off recently at a fund raiser for the j.e.h.f (juvenile external heart foundation, an affliction Jarvis' neice suffers from). Throughout the evening they explored each others interests in the music of scott joplin, erving berlin and so on. Trent has promised to put the music world on its ear with his next project and with his partnering with Jarvis and this unexpected choice in repertoire, he surely will follow through. Despite whisperings that the two have had a "more than cordial" relationship, I have found no information to back this up. Will follow as I hear more.
MY MY MISFIT HAVE YOU SUNK SO LOW. like you have never tapped your unshined oxfords to china girl. like you have never shed one of your souless tears to ashes to ashes. If you believe bowie to suck you must be ten years old or one of the ignoranti who booed him at a nine inch nail show. If bowie sucks than pulp sucks simple as that. Though hero jarvis has a style all his own he has , we must admit, assimalted much of bowies vocal inflections. It would behoove you to invest a little of your squandered hours to listen to his thin white duke period aka STATION TO STATION, HEROES, LOW , LODGER, SCARY MONSTERS.nowrunalong child. ps- i just read your intrests and it says you like AEROSMITH. my lord you have some balls MR. MISFIT some balls indeed.George Bush BAlls. i didnt know people actually would admit to something like that. its just not done. BRAVO
Christ steven ive come back from my tireless travels in search of true pulp gossip and this is the thanks i get!!" Dont be an ARSE" ?!@#@!? You could have said welcome home ole chap lets go out for pims and crumpits some time soon. Whats happened to my dear BAR ITALIA while i was away on my pulpquest. if this is what the level of discouse has come to while i was away then count me out. Another thing steven as you well know i was once a faithful poster to this site . Now i wasnt expecting a ticker tape parade upon my triumphant return to my beloved readers at BAR ITALIA. i was expecting however to be deemed a hardcore poster rather than a, dare i say it, common person. im sure it was a mere secretarial oversite. I trust you will rectify the situation ASAP!! It was good to hear from you dear leader no matter how glib your post was. just call me sensitive. TA TA
Bowie's shittiest albums? What a strange comment to make.
So is it the early seventies stuff you prefer? Or Let's Dance through Black Tie White Noise, with or without Tin Machine? Experimental nineties material? The bland recent albums?
I dont like Bowie post Aladdin Sane, bar a few tracks. I think this guy has been strangely overrated for the past 30 years. Ashes to ashes and Let's Dance make me want to smash my stereo (sorry for sounding "mad"). Low and the other late 70s album probably got one or two ok track on it, the rest being really poor.
It's probably not cool to say or whatever, but Bowie's not made a good album since 1973.
Fair enough, you're obviously entitled to your own opinion, but I ought to say also that a lot of Bowie's material is slow-burner stuff. Several of his albums I have really not had much time for and then grew to love deeply. I started with Hunky Dory, which is still up there for me, but my favourite style of his is definitely that late 70s alienated disco. I certainly can't see how that can be classed as low as his subsequent eighties to noughties work.
But I always thought anyone who loved Bowie did so at least partly for his range of styles.
Bowie is a good artist, lets not argue over that fact. His diverse musical career means that there will always be people comparing his eras. Personally I like the majority of his work but mostly the Berlin Trilogy, the Ziggy days, and some of the 80s stuff.
im sure it was a mere secretarial oversite. I trust you will rectify the situation ASAP!! It was good to hear from you dear leader no matter how glib your post was. just call me sensitive.
