GUILTY PLEASURE: EIGHTH WONDER

Written and produced by the wonderful PET SHOP BOYS and yes, I'm not scared to confess, I love this song. EIGHTH WONDER had an enormous success in Japan and Italy, which is quite logic, when you listen to their plastic italo disco style music. The voice of Patsy Kensit isn't really good, but very airy and it fits perfectly to this histrionic song with its sharp staccato synth lines:

BOWIEMANIA

David Bowie by Mr. Brainwash Foto: Miss Shapes

David Bowie turned 66 and the DJ duo Soulwax made an hour-long tribute to him starring the belgian actress and supermodel Hannelore Knuts. The film mainly centring on his - perhaps best - late 70s/early 80s period. You can watch the hommage for free on Vimeo.

2013 there will be also an exhibition about the chameleon at the London Museum "Victoria & Albert" called "David Bowie is" showing 300 objects that include handwritten lyrics, original costumes, fashion, photography, film, music videos, set designs and Bowie's own instruments.

Let's start the BOWIEMANIA!
