Bowie's Blackstar

[Finch Platte]

Really looking forward to picking this up Friday. Anybutty else?

Bowie is, of course, an autobuy for me. I'll pick up Backstar either on the weekend or with my next Amazon order. I really liked The Next Day. But the song he released in 2014, Sue, was a piece of crap IMO. Blackstar better be more like The Next Day than like Sue.

Already pre-ordered it on the basis of the video released for the title track. One of the first things he's done in years to really catch my interest, although I did enjoy the cover art on his last one.

Whu whu what? Why?

Hard to really say, but the nod to the past and the update made me smile a bit. I liked the overall clean look of the thing despite it being a couple things mashed together and I can't say I didn't enjoy it bothering people a bit.

By the way, I've been blasting this all morning and it really does kick ass.

Heard part of a review regarding a Bowie release on NPR. They were talking about Bowie using jazz musicians. Is this the one?

[nobody]

Yeah, but I think it sounds a lot less "jazzy" than I have seen some reviews note. Mostly, if you've seen the Blackstar video, that's the sound of the album, although perhaps a bit milder in parts. So if you thought that was jazzy, you'll find the album to sound like jazz. Personally, I think it was more or less he got a group of jazz musicians, who are excellent musicians, and worked to create more of a new sound than anything resembling most jazz I've heard. Then again, maybe there's another jazz offshoot I need to hear.

Lol, I totally forgot to pick this up.

Derrrrrrr.
