BWWers MANAGE THE GREAT ESCAPE
27th June 2006

Those of you who frequent the BWW Message Board will already know that last month six lucky Wonderworlders went to Brighton to listen to legendary record producer and recording engineer KEN SCOTT with his talk 'Me and Mr. Jones'.

As you know, Ken worked with DAVID BOWIE on classic albums such as 'Man Of Words, Man Of Music' (Space Oddity), 'The Man Who Sold The World', 'Hunky Dory', 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars', 'Aladdin Sane', 'PinUps' and also the '1984/Dodo' recording. Ken also mixed the recent 30th anniversary 'Ziggy Stardust' re-release in 5.1 surround sound.

'Me and Mr Jones' covered the technicalities, the stories and the history leading to some of the seminal albums of the Seventies from 'Space Oddity' to 'The 1980 Floor Show' and all stops in between.

The BWW Six: TheLodger, Sweetythang, Sunrise, UncleFloyd, Jackie and Mr C - took their seats for what was to prove an illuminating and highly enjoyable 90 minutes with the man responsible for producing and engineering some of the greatest albums in rock history.

If you pop on over to the Special Features section you'll see the link 'Me and Mr Jones' - click there and read their collective review, view photographs and watch a special video message from Ken.

(Ed. Big thanks to one and all six for a great collective review, video and photo's - a wonderful and enlightening read - I only wish I could have been there myself).

REST IN PEACE ARIF
26th June 2006

Sad news to report the passing away of legendary producer/arranger/musician ARIF MARDIN who worked with DAVID BOWIE on the Labyrinth film soundtrack and his 1984 'Tonight' album.

According to his longtime friend and colleague Ian Ralfini, he died at his New York home from pancreatic cancer, at the age of seventy-four.

Mardin built his reputation at Atlantic Records, where he worked as a producer and arranger from 1963 to 2001. Afterwards he set up his own label at EMI, Manhattan Records, where his signings included Norah Jones.

Born in 1932 in Turkey, Mardin studied economics at Istanbul University and the London School of Economics, but his career path changed when he met jazz greats Dizzy Gillespie and Quincy Jones in 1956.

Besides working with David, Arif also worked with such artists as Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and the Bee Gees. The holder of more than 40 gold and platinum albums, he was named best producer at the Grammy Awards in 1976 and 2003.

Arif will be buried in his native Istanbul next week.

HEY JIM, I'M IN CONTROL
25th June 2006

DAVID BOWIE, Iggy Pop and Roxy Music are all set to feature on the soundtrack for movie about IAN CURTIS of Joy Division.

The movie entitled 'Control' will be directed by Anton Corbijn and co-produced by Tony Wilson and Deborah Curtis, who's book 'Touching From A Distance' the film will be based upon.

The role of Curtis will be taken up by 10,000 Things front man Sam Riley while Samantha Morton will play his widow.

BOWIE ON BROADWAY
24th June 2006

Last Tuesday evening (20th June) DAVID BOWIE and IMAN along with Jodie Foster and Mike Nichols were in the audience at 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore', the black comedy about Irish terrorists at the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway, in New York City.

McDonagh's scorchingly black comedy is set in 1993 in County Galway on the rocky island of Inishmore, off the coast of Ireland. Padraic is a terrorist with no feeling for those he blows up, but has an obsessive attachment to Thomas, his beloved cat, but someone has killed poor wee Thomas. Was it an accident or an execution? Either way, the death must be concealed before 'Mad Padraic' returns from a stint of torture and bombing. Otherwise the recriminations will be horrifying.

The Lieutenant of Inishmore won the 2003 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and was nominated for the 2002 London Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play.

DAVID CHECKS OUT RUFUS DOING JUDY
16th June 2006

David was sat in the orchestra seating area with other celebs around him including David Byrne, Kate Winslet, Kristen Johnston, Laurie Anderson, John Waters, Sam Mendes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, The B52's, Jimmy Fallon, Lorna Luft, Patricia Fields, Kristen Johnston, Sarah Jessica Parker and Peter Saarsgard.

TAP MY PRETTY LITTLE FEET
14th June 2006

CHICAGO TAP THEATRE present 'Changes: A Science Fiction Tap Opera' on July 7th through to July 30th at the Athenaeum Theatre Studio 3, which sees the company dancing to the music of DAVID BOWIE.

Told through the medium of tap, Changes is a world premiere sci-fi story that starts with Bowie's 'Space Oddity' and then rockets to an alien planet ruled by an egotistical leader. Major Tom foments an uprising among the downtrodden locals, for which he is thrown in a prison and tortured.

Chicago Tap Theatre artistic director Mark Yonally explains: "While I didn't intentionally set out to create a show with political overtones, I think it's impossible not to be influenced by what's happening in our culture right now." Yonally believes that delving into tap dance’s conceptual and narrative possibilities remains relatively unexplored. "When I founded the company I knew that audiences love being told a story and that tap dance could serve as a rich and dynamic way to propel a plot," he says.

Chicago Tap Theatre is a non-profit 501(c)3 with a multifaceted mission: to preserve America's indigenous dance form, to promote that dance through story-based shows and innovative presentation, to educate the community and make tap dance accessible to a broad spectrum of people and to foster relationships with other arts organisations.

MEMORIES ABOARD THE SS FRANCE
12th June 2006

Over on the BBC news website there's an article by Patrick Jackson entitled 'Surreal times on the SS France' which he writes about ship-lovers and ecologists who are battling to prevent the scrapping of a former French ocean liner in India. The article looks back at the slightly surreal glory days of the SS France.

One particular recollection concerns DAVID BOWIE who travelled onboard in April 1974, departing from Cannes and heading for New York.

It was quite a time, recalls Bruno Rabreau, who as a receptionist in the 1970s - not only did David Bowie perform - he played for the crew.

Travelling as a first-class passenger, the rock star was not scheduled to play aboard the France but apparently had heard the crew were disappointed, so he turned up in the canteen with an acoustic guitar.

"We enjoyed more than 10 songs and especially 'Space Oddity' which was the first one, and a few crew members took instruments too and played with him," Bruno says.

"It was a really, really good time. He was a very ordinary person and very friendly to us. We really enjoyed it."

You can read the whole article @ BBC website.

WE CAN BE HEROES
10th June 2006

As previously mentioned on here KASABIAN have recorded an England World Cup song despite having rejected the FA's overtures to write the team's official song.

The band from Leicester, fronted by Tom Meighan, have covered DAVID BOWIE's "Heroes" to be ITV's theme music.

Meighan, an avid Leicester City fan, explained the offer to write the official song did not really appeal but that this chance was too tempting to turn down.

"We never wanted to do the official song - it is too much of a burden," he told The Sun newspaper. "But it is wonderful to know our song will be part of the World Cup soundtrack."

"Bowie has heard it and told me it's like Velvet Underground - but heavier."

BOWIE FILMS IN HERTFORD
9th June 2006

The HERTFORDSHIRE MERCURY newspaper have reported on DAVID BOWIE filming his part in a Hertford bar to film a scene for the second series of Ricky Gervais's BBC comedy 'Extras'.

Gervais, smiled and signed autographs in the car park of Elberts, in Pegs Lane, but security staff desperately tried to prevent paparazzi photographers spotting Bowie.

On Monday, the 59-year-old singer tried to evade a flock of Fleet Street's finest by leaping from his polished black Mercedes and ducking in a side entrance.

Elberts was used as a private members' bar in Bowie's scene. In it, Gervais's character Andy is desperate to meet the rock legend and finds his way into the VIP area but is asked to leave when Bowie begins singing.

Builders put in overtime to ensure Elberts - previously Elbert Wurlings - was ready for the arrival of the crew on Monday. The bar has been shut for a month for refurbishment but reopened with a stylish new look last night following its week in the spotlight.

Filming ended on Wednesday afternoon, by which time unfounded rumours that film star Johnny Depp was due on set had circulated around town.

You can read the full article over @ Herts and Essex Online website where you can also see a couple of shots of DB.

DAVID JOINS THE A LIST ON 'EXTRAS'
8th June 2006

You might recall a while back that British comedian RICKY GERVAIS asked DAVID BOWIE if he would appear in his BBC comedy show EXTRAS - well guess what - he's already done it.

Ricky began filming on Monday in Hertfordshire with co-creator Stephen Merchant, who helped write The Office.

David has already filmed his part which includes him singing in a private members' club. Ricky (aka Andy) bribes his way into the VIP area, but is asked to leave just as Bowie bursts into song.

Other 'extras' who have roles in this second series include Sir Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Coldplay's Chris Martin and Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame.

Other names in the series will include Jonathan Ross, Richard and Judy, Diana Rigg, Richard Briers, Ronnie Corbett, Germaine Greer, Stephen Fry and the cast of Holby City.

There are a couple of photos of David meeting Ricky over at The Sun website - click here to view.

TO BE RIGHT IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH
7th June 2006

DAVID, IMAN AND ZIGGY
6th June 2006

Today marks the 14th anniversary of DAVID and IMAN's wedding ceremony at Saint James Episcopal Church, in Florence, Italy.

The best man was David's son Duncan with chief usher Alan Edwards. Iman's maid of honour was her best friend Bethann Hardison.

Besides their immediate family, among the sixty-eight invited guests were Yoko Ono, Brian Eno, Bono, Eric Idle, Geoff MacCormack, George Underwood, Herve Leger and Thierry Mugler.

You can click here to read an article from Hello! magazine entitled 'The Wedding of David Bowie and Iman' in the BW archives.

Today also marks the 34th Anniversary release of the immortal 1972 album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars'.

Any self respecting Bowie fan should play the album right now - put on a pair of headphones and play it at " maximum volume". - and follow it up with 'Black Tie White Noise' which celebrates their marriage.

ON AN ISLAND DVD SET FOR RELEASE
4th June 2006

The surprise live appearance of DAVID BOWIE at the DAVID GILMOUR gig last Monday at the Royal Albert Hall hopefully will be featured on the DVD to be released later this year.

All three London dates were professionally filmed for the official 'On An Island' tour DVD.

Of the three dates, the first night saw special guest appearances from David Bowie, David Crosby, Graham Nash and Robert Wyatt. The second night Mica Paris guested, and the third and final night saw Nick Mason joining Gilmour and Richard Wright for the encores. Guests David Crosby, Graham Nash and Robert Wyatt were present for all three London performances.

Fingers crossed that both 'Arnold Layne' and 'Comfortably Numb' performed by DB will see the light of day on the DVD release.
