Metal Monday Volume 116 (4.1.13)

It might be April Fool’s Day but I guarantee that I’m not joking when talking about The Melvins upcoming covers album, Everybody Loves Sausages (Fer serious, this is the title.), and how essential it is to your Melvins collection. This isn’t like your recent Anthrax covers EP featuring familiar names, bands, and songs. This is a music lovers covers record with some known (David Bowie, Queen), some lesser known (Throbbing Gristle, Venom) and some, well, I did say it was […]

David Bowie, The Next Day: The Spin Cycle Review

David Bowie, The Next Day: The Spin Cycle Review

When David Bowie released his previous album, Reality: Senator John Kerry was challenging incumbent George W.

It seems like a long time ago in a pop culture far, far away. And in some senses, […]

My night owl lifestyle has paid off once again, as just moments ago Bowie’s YouTube channel posted a second video from the upcoming The Next Day LP.

And of […]

David Bowie Celebrates His Birthday With a New Video: “Where Are We Now?”

Two words I was fairly certain I would never see again: “New Bowie.” He hasn’t released any new music since 2003’s Reality. And aside from a very few one-off appearances, he’s pretty much evaded media attention since the closing of the Reality tour in 2004 (which incidentally, was the highest grossing tour that year).
