Alloy: Episode 66

Changes (Playlist Episode #66)

Like all of us, I was shocked and sad about the news of David Bowie's passing after a long struggle with cancer. Most of the thoughts rolling around my head seem cliche right now, so I will resist trying to put some overly simplified stamp on an artist that defied boundaries, challenged genres, and pushed his art and life like few are ever capable of doing. I took time during this week's show to celebrate, through music, his music and life as well explore (a bit more) the catalog of multi-dimensional guitarist, Nels Cline.

David Bowie - Sound and Vision (documentary)

Ironically, before the sad news this morning regarding David Bowie I watched this documentary over the weekend. I was preparing for this week's radio show and planning on playing tracks from his latest album, Blackstar. I think, by-and-large, it presents a very interesting history and portrait of Bowie--music first and foremost, but also insights from (and about) his family and friends. It is loaded with archive footage, good footage and photos, but also features segments of interviews with Bowie, Iggy Pop, Moby, Trent Reznor, and more. Well worth watching.
