pick“This book is a love letter to Bowie…” and I loved every second of it. Some nice insight into his songs and his impact on the world. I used to read a lot of books about music and this reminded me why I like that genre. I‘m absolutely going to check out Sheffield‘s other books next.
so-soI thought I would love this book, but I didn't like it as much as I had anticipated I would. I'm a fan of David Bowie's music, but I felt like maybe this book gave me too much information about him? I don't know- it just wasn't my favorite of Rob Sheffield's books. I'm glad I read it, though.
pickWe all experience music in a vacuum. Individually. We take pieces from our parents. Pieces from our siblings. From friends. The culture that surrounds us. And so it is with Bowie. To see how someone else experiences Bowie is to reignite my own fandom. Being a Bowie fan is to be part of a vast, diverse club. It is very much a lonely club, like Bowie‘s music always about breaking out of our isolation and experiencing something together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love Bowie, but every time I read a book or an article or talk to another Bowie fanatic, I learn about another jewel of a tune that I immediately must find and add to my Mixtape :: David Jones playlist.
I knew Robbie would break me out of my book slump. I call him Robbie because we go WAY back — all the way to “Love Is a Mix Tape.”
pickA heartfelt tribute to a true artist, visionary, space alien/star gazer....Short but impactful. My only quibble; the author tended to get snarky about other artists ( namely Elton John) and it seemed unnecessary and petty. A nice listen while I did some pre weekend cooking🎧 🧑🍳 🍗🥘🍪
Woke up this morning thinking of David Bowie...so let‘s try this audiobook ♥️Hope everyone celebrating today is enjoying and finding peace, joy and light🙏🏼
🎵 Let's dance
