LOOKING FOR LOOK-A-LIKES
28th August 2004

Are you constantly being told you look just like DAVID BOWIE, or maybe your boyish looks resemble a young John Lennon? Then the Bluecoat Arts Centre needs you!

The centre is looking for people who resemble celebrities to take part in a photographic exhibition. The project, created specially for the Liverpool Biennial arts festival, is being carried out by South Korean-born artist YEONDOO JUNG and will be shown at the School Lane gallery.

His work, entitled BeWitched, aims to make the dreams of two Liverpool residents come true, by capturing their desires in two artificially staged photographs. He is looking for people who look like David Bowie, Albert Einstein, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Jesus, Attilla the Hun, Bob Geldof, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Germaine Greer, Jeremy Paxman, Janis Joplin, Alex Higgins, John McEnroe, Queen Boadicea, Joan of Arc or Adolf Hitler.

To take part, you must be available to take part in a photo shoot in Manchester from 12pm to 6pm on Tuesday August 31st.

Jung is travelling the world meeting people from different cultures and asking them to tell him their dreams, which he makes come true in the form of a special photographic portrait. He has so far realised 13 people's dreams in six different countries, including Beijing, New York and Amsterdam, and aims to continue until he has worked with 40 people from all over the world.

If you think you look like one of the famous figures and would like to take part in the project, e-mail your contact details with a photograph to

PRESS RELEASE: A REALITY TOUR DVD
23rd August 2004

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
08.23.2004: 'DAVID BOWIE - A REALITY TOUR' DVD

DAVID BOWIE TO RELEASE 'DAVID BOWIE - A REALITY TOUR' DVD
OCTOBER 19 WORLDWIDE, MARKING FIRST LIVE CONCERT FILM IN OVER 15 YEARS
FILMED IN DUBLIN, IRELAND, NOVEMBER 22-23, 2003

"...Bowie still manages to project more charisma during one song than most modern-day stars manage in a career... The songs sound as fresh as ever..." - Maurice O'Brien, IRISH INDEPENDENT (Dublin), November 24, 2003.

DAVID BOWIE will release "DAVID BOWIE - A REALITY TOUR" DVD October 19 (ISO/Columbia) to commemorate his first major world tour in nearly a decade. Filmed last November 22 and 23 in front of emotionally charged audiences at the Point Depot in Dublin, Ireland, the DVD marks the influential rock legend's first concert film in over 15 years. Thirty songs spanning BOWIE's illustrious career - including "Five Years" and "Hang On To Yourself," which BOWIE hasn't played live in over 20 years - are featured in a riveting state-of-the-art sound and light stage production that was conceived by BOWIE and utilises enormous LED screens and animation. The programme runs 140 minutes, and a ten-page booklet filled with amazing live photos from the event is included in the package.

Feeding off the overwhelming response from the Dublin audience, BOWIE said on the first night: "If we're going to film a DVD anywhere, this is the place to do it. I know it, you know it and they (the film crew) know it!" "DAVID BOWIE - A REALITY TOUR" is produced by Blink TV, edited by Emmy Award winner Guy Harding and the Creative Director is Marcus Viner. The DVD's 5.1 surround sound mix was engineered by Tony Visconti, BOWIE's long-time producer of such classic albums as THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD, YOUNG AMERICANS and "HEROES"; Visconti also co-produced with BOWIE his most recent critically revered albums HEATHEN (2002) and REALITY (2003).

Armed with a rotating list of 60 songs, BOWIE and his band - Gerry Leonard (band leader/guitar/vocals), Sterling Campbell (drums/vocals), Earl Slick (guitar), Gail Ann Dorsey (bass guitar/vocals), Catherine Russell (keyboards/vocals/percussion/guitar) and Mike Garson (keyboards) - made their mark with shows constituting what many described as one of the best treks in his career. The hugely successful and critically acclaimed "A Reality Tour" began last October in Europe, visiting countries all over the world while attracting over 700,000 fans and earning the tour #1 top-grossing honours for the first half of 2004, according to Billboard Boxscore. It was also hailed as "Best Tour: #2 (after Radiohead)" in the "Critics' Picks" section in the ROLLING STONE "Music Awards 2003" poll (2/5/04).

"DAVID BOWIE - A REALITY TOUR" mixes an array of classics and deep album cuts with songs from BOWIE's most recent works, HEATHEN and REALITY, both of which critics ranked among his best works. HEATHEN entered the top 15 in 14 countries, including the U.S., while REALITY claimed the #1 position on Billboard's Pan European chart, debuting in the Top 10 in 15 countries. BOWIE truly continues to raise the standard for ongoing adventurousness and artistry in popular music.

FAME... WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
16th August 2004

A new UK TV series on CHANNEL 4 which honours the best bands and pop stars over the past 50 years is to be launched next month.

The likes of the Beatles, DAVID BOWIE, Rolling Stones, Queen, The Who, Madonna and Elvis Presley will battle it out for a place in the UK Music Hall of Fame.

Former Live and Kicking presenter Jamie Theakston has clinched a £350,000 deal to host the Channel 4 show which bosses hope will rival both the Brit Awards and the Mercury Music Prize.

Over six weeks acts from the 50s to the 90s will be put through a rigorous nomination process. By the end of the series five will be allowed into the Hall of Fame. Each instalment will focus on a specific decade with finalists decided by a viewer vote.

The show, from the makers of Big Brother, is designed to attract "real music lovers" rather than Pop Idol fans. An insider said: "This will establish once and for all the names of the most cherished acts in music history. These people have shaped 20th-century music and truly deserve to be honoured in a TV Hall of Fame. But it is sure to cause a huge debate among the true music lovers."

The competition, which mirrors a version in the US, will cover all types of music. The grand final will be held at the Hackney Empire in London later this year.

Entrants can come from anywhere in the world as long as they have had chart success in the UK. Modern acts such as the Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue, J-Lo, Oasis and Pulp will also be included. The acts must have released their first single at least five years ago.

Theakston is said to be "delighted" at landing the role. The 33-year-old will front five two-hour specials before presenting the final. The series will become an annual event with five acts joining the Hall of Fame each year. In America the Hall of Fame is regarded as the highest honour any artist can receive.

FANTASTIC VOYAGE IN HEBREW
1st August 2004

NOAM ROTEM is an artist from Israel who has translated and recorded his own version of 'Fantastic Voyage' from the DAVID BOWIE album Lodger.

The cover version in Hebrew appears on Noam's debut solo album 'Human Warmth' (Chom Enoshi), which you can check out on www.noamrotem.co.il

Noam broke into the music scene at nineteen, and for seven years fronted the Brit-pop inspired band ICE 9 before going solo. Talking about his debut solo album Noam says:

"There are different styles on the album. I read a lot," he states simply."I expect music, like books, to have the listener enter with one state of mind and leave with another. The interpretation they take with them doesn't matter; as long as their phase has changed, I will have succeeded."

His songs are influenced by other musicians (David Bowie, Leonard Cohen), poets such as Yates, and the situation in which we live.

"This album is a result of what has happened in my personal life - all my fears and uneasiness relating to the tough reality we're living," he says. "Almost every text can be taken as political, but each song is also very personal. "The album is one coherent story, one piece. It has episodes, but it is one story."

The record talks about trying to find one's place in the world. For Rotem, that place is Israel. Although he is aware of the limits in playing to an Israeli audience, he rejects making the jump to English.

"I won't sing in English," he says flatly. "Hebrew is the language I think in. I find it funny to write in a different language. It's more challenging for me to make something sound good in Hebrew. Also, I am a musician but I'm not living in a shell. I've been in the army, I pay my taxes, and I go to work like everyone else some people might expect me to live a sex, drugs and rock-and-roll lifestyle. But this is not possible here. You do the music without the lifestyle."

Rotem, who wrote nearly all the songs on the album with his creative associate, Ohad Koski, is steadfast in doing music he likes and not selling out with easier, more marketable tunes.

"A lot of people I only dreamed about working with came to help me," he says. "I consider Bowie to be my great teacher in music... And one thing I learned from him is to work with people. I told the musicians who worked with me: 'I wrote this and I sing and I play the guitar; everything else you should bring yourself.' And this resulted in more layers to the music."

"I hope to make a living with my art, but I'm not counting on it," he says. "That's the price you pay when you choose to do music in a place like this. And I'm fine with that. I can always do something else for a living, and do music for my soul."

Talking about his web site Noam says: "Music is the focus. The point of my Web site is for people just to listen. They don't have to buy the album, they just have to listen. Human Warmth is a starting point for me."

SEE MY LIFE IN A COMIC
1st August 2004

"See my life in a comic... Like the way they did the Bible"...

Discovering JOHN BAGNALL's work is like coming across a marvellous second-hand shop on a rarely frequented street. You wander in, start digging about, and are soon rewarded with remarkable finds. 'Don't Tread On My Rosaries' is a more low-key example of British comics publishing, featuring as it does a collection of short stories.

This eighty page collection of comic strips, published by Kingly Books of Glasgow, Scotland, collects a group of short stories, the best of which, 'The Chemist and the Capuchin,' tells the slightly nutty but heartfelt story of a scientist who suffers a chronic injury and rediscovers his lost faith. Another tale imagines DAVID BOWIE's diary from his Berlin days. Created with no apparent pretense, Bagnall's work has a warm and funny eccentricity.

Featuring a full colour cover, mono endpapers, black and white interior pages printed on luscious 120 gsm stock. Price is £9 within the UK, €12 within Europe and $17 air mail outside Europe.

You can click here to view a sample page of David and Jimmy.

More details and ordering information can be found at www.kinglybooks.com - customers in the USA may find it easier to buy 'Don't Tread On My Rosaries' from Last Gasp of San Francisco ($14).

NME ORIGINALS: GLAM ISSUE OUT NOW!
1st August 2004

The latest copy of NME ORIGINALS is all about the seventies and the rise of glam! DAVID BOWIE features heavily in this issue, as well as appearing on the rather psychedelic cover - his career is chronicled in great detail, along with the other greats such as Iggy, Marc Bolan and Lou Reed.

Steve Sutherland: "Take a stylish stroll through the early '70s when boys would be girls and girls would be boys and the whiff of teen revolution was scaring the loon pants off the revered elders of rock. Lovingly lifted from the world famous archives of NME and Melody Maker, GLAM charts the irresistible rise of David Bowie as he created then cast aside Ziggy Stardust, stopping along the way to gape in awe at the genius of the bopping elf Marc Bolan and his hitmungous T Rex. Others whose interviews, reviews, news and gossip stories feature in GLAM include Queen, Sparks, Slade, Suzi Quatro, Gary Glitter, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Rod Stewart, The Faces and The New York Dolls.

So come on, get it on with all the young dudes." Price: £5.50.
