David Bowie - The Next Day 2013!!!

Happy Birthday David Bowie!!!

Where is David Bowie?

New Single and Pre-Order of First New Album in 10 Years Exclusively Launching on the iTunes Store Today

New York, NY--January 8, 2013--In the early morning hours of Tuesday the 8th January, Iso/Columbia Records released a new single by David Bowie titled 'Where Are We Now?' exclusively launching in the iTunes Store in 119 countries. David Bowie's first new album in ten years and his 30th studio recording, THE NEXT DAY is also available as a pre-order on iTunes with a wide release scheduled for March. January the 8th is of course David Bowie's birthday, a timely moment for such a treasure to appear as if out of nowhere.

Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130 million not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration and social commentary. It goes without saying that he has sold out stadiums and broken ticket records throughout the world during this most influential of careers.

In recent years radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumor and wishful thinking ....a new record...who would have ever thought it, who'd have ever dreamed it! After all David is the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants when he wants...when he has something to say as opposed to something to sell. Today he definitely has something to say.

Produced by long term collaborator Tony Visconti, 'Where Are We Now?' was written by Bowie, and was recorded in New York. The single is accompanied by a haunting video directed by Tony Oursler which harks back to David's time in Berlin. He is seen looking in on footage of the auto repair shop beneath the apartment he lived in along with stark images of the city at the time and a lyric constantly raising the question Where Are We Now?

"The moment you know, you know you know" resonates from the new single's lyric. Now we all know...David Bowie has been in the recording studio...just when we least expected it!!

Tnx for the info, cool....cr****

Thanks for great news .....still think your awful though.

Boy that new vid is sort of creepy.....If you want to see it http://www.davidbowie.com/the-next-day cr****

I quite like the single but yes it's a bit creepy and weird.

It's a bit Bowie.

Awesome!!! I wonder if this means a tour is forthcoming. I don't think I can beat seeing him in '04 at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, but it would be a treat to see him again. He's so mesmerizing.

Me too. I'm glad there are subtitles in it because he says all kind of foreign place names and some phrases that you would never guess just to listen. I guess that could just be me though .. cr****

I liked seeing him at the end in a t-shirt and jeans. I can't even dare speculate about getting the chance to see him live.

If I saw him I'd say, "Nice t-shirt and jeans, David Bowie."

I liked it because it seemed like he just filmed it with whatever he was wearing whe he walked on set. It felt authentic.

I have been in closer shows with the Man but I will never forget the Santa Monica show in 72. It was the day before my birthday and the day of and my sis bought me tics for both days..... cr****

From the web of course:"Steve Martin here, backstage at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Its a cool night in Los Angeles and as you may know or not know, the Santa Monica Civic is about a hundred yards from the beach so we have a cool breeze blowing off the ocean through the stage at our backs. The auditorium is packed, as a matter of fact, for the first David Bowie concert in the Los Angeles area. There will be one more tomorrow night, this is the concert tonight which will be recorded by RCA for the next David Bowie album and we expect to hear some new material by this British superstar. David and his group, the Spiders from Mars, will enter from the other side of the stage. The auditorium is completely blacked out except for flashing strobe lights. Now the entrance music will be the Ode, or should I say the Ode to Joy which is featured in the movie "Clockwork Orange" and the house lights are starting to dim, ..... here's David Bowie."

Shit song. Shit video. Let's be honest here.

Pretty much. I turned it off with a minute left.

I actually enjoy the song. I haven't seen the video, nor does it matter if I do.

Bowie.

David Bowie.

If only it was some compete and utter shit then you'd be down ! :D

I really like the video. I thought the song was just average though. Nevertheless still great to get new music from him.

Wish this first song was better, but I am still excited for the whole album to release in March.

I like the new song. I don't really understand what significance the German places have, but it is interesting.

Wait a minute. Are we sure ThatGirl isn't one of amyzzz's daughters?

She does have dogs...

We would have also accepted "Turing test."

He's still beautiful.

The music video, directed by Tony Oursler, reflects Bowie’s time in Berlin in the late 1970s. “He is seen looking in on footage of the auto repair shop beneath the apartment he lived in along with stark images of the city at the time and a lyric constantly raising the question Where Are We Now?”

The first time I watched the video I hated it. But I figured I would give it another shot since it's Bowie.

And I still hated it.

But it cannot be denied that the authenticity of his jeans is palatable.
