Published today is a brand new title ENCHANTING DAVID BOWIE: Space/Time/Body/Memory by Toija Cinque (Editor), Christopher Moore (Editor) and Sean Redmond (Editor).
Available in three different formats: Hardcover / Paperback / Kindle, it contains 368 pages and published by Bloomsbury Academic USA.
Synopsis: A longstanding, successful and frequently controversial career spanning more than four decades establishes David Bowie as charged with contemporary cultural relevance. That David Bowie has influenced many lives is undeniable to his fans. He requisitions and challenges his audiences, through frequently indirect lyrics and images, to critically question sanity, identity and essentially what it means to be 'us' and why we are here. Enchanting David Bowie explores David Bowie as an anti-temporal figure and argues that we need to understand him across the many media platforms and art spaces he intersects with including theatre, film, television, the web, exhibition, installation, music, lyrics, video, and fashion. This exciting collection is organised according to the key themes of space, time, body, and memory - themes that literally and metaphorically address the key questions and intensities of his output.
Reviews: This scintillating collection considers David Bowie's contemporaneity, showing how the star looks very different today - and how every different Bowie is a hero, if just for one day. With each chapter like a crystal ball ricocheting around a multi-level labyrinth, Enchanting David Bowie is full of surprises and delights for the fan and scholar alike. - Christopher Schaberg, Associate Professor of English, Loyola University New Orleans, USA, and author of 'The Textual Life of Airports' and 'Deconstructing Brad Pitt'.
Consider for a moment, David Bowie's extraordinary body of work, not just the music, but also his assimilation of different media practices: writing, painting, performance, film and video. This volume coheres around four thematic vectors - space, time, body and memory - to interrogate Bowie's remarkable corpus of cultural production. In the process, Enchanting David Bowie - itself a standout work - not only illuminates but also construes 'Bowie' - or versions of Bowie - that are at once compelling and fascinating. - Constantine Verevis, Associate Professor of Film and Screen Studies, Monash University, Australia.

Horror movie THE HUNGER is to finally be released on Blu-ray disc this Summer.
The 1983 movie directed by the late Tony Scott, stars Catherine Deneuve (Miriam Blaylock), DAVID BOWIE (John Blaylock) and Susan Sarandon (Dr. Sarah Roberts).
Synopsis: Miriam Blaylock collects Renaissance art, ancient Egyptian pendants, lovers, souls. Alive and fashionably chic in Manhattan, Miriam is an ageless vampire. "Vampire" is not a word you'll hear in this movie based on the novel by Whitley Strieber (Wolfen). Instead, debuting feature director Tony Scott stakes out a hip, sensual, modern-gothic makeover. Catherine Deneuve radiates macabre elegance as Miriam, bless with beauty, cursed with bloodlust. David Bowie is fellow fiend and refined husband John. In love, in life, in longing they are inseparable. But when John abruptly begins to age and turns to a geriatrics researcher (Susan Sarandon) for help, Miriam soon eyes the woman as a replacement for John. The Hunger is insatiable.

Okay, so it's still over a year away, but we can announce that MEMORY OF A FREE FESTIVAL 2016, which falls on Saturday 13th August, has none other than legendary producer TONY VISCONTI as the musical curator.
As you know, Tony Visconti's connections with DAVID BOWIE run deep. He produced the albums David Bowie (aka Space Oddity), The Man Who Sold The World, David Live, Young Americans, Low, "Heroes", Stage, Lodger, Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), Heathen, Reality and The Next Day.
Tony has recently completed a successful UK and Japan tour with Holy Holy (who perform Bowie music mainly from his Beckenham years), playing bass and thrilling audiences.
Also, Tony performed alongside Bowie at the Beckenham Art Lab in the Three Tuns (now Zizzi's) and for a while lived at Haddon Hall, Bowie's Beckenham home, where most of the music from this era was composed.
We don't yet know which acts Tony will select, but with his connections he probably has some interesting artists in his address book. We'll keep you updated on this as the festival takes shape.
From Beckenham Bowie Facebook page.
Released today Friday (24th) is the lastest in the DAVID BOWIE 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Picture Disc Single series.

Produced by: David Bowie and Harry Maslin.
AA-Side: Right (Alternate Mix).
Produced and mixed by: Tony Visconti and Harry Maslin.
The alternate mix of 'Right' was previously released by Ryko/EMI in 1991, however, due to a mastering error it was released at the wrong speed. For this release that issue has been rectified.

Check out a nice bit of filming at the ACMI setting up the DAVID BOWIE Is exhibition...
In the lead up to 'David Bowie is', the ACMI gallery underwent a complete transformation. For over 9 weeks, a team of builders, electricians, painters and technicians ensured the space was put together perfectly.
At the same time, each object and costume was delicately unpacked, condition checked and carefully placed in position by a team of specialists from the V&A and ACMI.
Here's a heads up on a new DAVID BOWIE book entitled: Psychedelic Suburbia
Due for publication this Autumn, it promises to be a first hand account of the Beckenham launch pad days.
Independent publishers JORVIK PRESS located in Portland, Oregon, USA, have a witty statement on their website in their 'forthcoming' section...
'Oh no, please not another David Bowie book! We know quite enough about what Bowie did to his friends and lovers and what he did for his millions of fans, but his origins in the late sixties have been shrouded in hearsay. Until now, that is.'
'Here's the story of what Bowie did to Beckenham, Kent, the town in southeast England that launched him on his trip to stardom. Written by a freelance journalist and friend who was one of the first people to encourage and support him. Coming Fall 2015.'
Scheduled for release on 7th August is DAVID BOWIE: DAY IN DAY OUT Legendary Radio Broadcast, Australia 1987 via Laser Media.

ENDA WALSH is interviewed by Padraic Killeen and talks about his upcoming project with DAVID BOWIE.
In December, the Dubliner's collaboration with David Bowie will premiere off-Broadway in the New York Theatre Workshop.
Titled Lazarus and starring Dexter actor Michael C. Hall, the show centres on the character that Bowie played in Nicolas Roeg's 1975 film The Man Who Fell To Earth - that of an alien who comes to earth in order to save his home planet, which has been stricken by war and environmental disaster.
The show features classic Bowie songs as well as new material written especially for the score.
Walsh signed up for the gig after producers arranged a meeting with Bowie. "He had read my plays and had seen some of it performed in St Ann's Warehouse in New York," he says.
"He was fantastic. I think he talked to me for an hour and a half or so about the work, just sort of interviewed me: 'why did you do this and this and this, and what's this recurring motif?'
He knew thematically where I was at and where the work was shifting toward. And, of course, he's just a ferocious reader. It was as if this man knows every fucking word I've written."
Notably, despite Bowie's towering status within the pop culture firmament, Walsh remains cool and nonchalant as he discusses it all, describing the iconic star as a natural collaborator and an incredibly friendly man.
"The sweetest thing about it is that really, really quickly - like, within three minutes - you forget that he is who he is and then it's just all about the work. But like, occasionally, you do go, 'Oh f**king hell. That's David Bowie. What's all this about?'"
You can read the whole interview via the irishexaminer.com website.
