Breaking down David Bowie's "Heroes" - track by track

BBC ^ | 27 January 2016 | Tony Visconti (and Erin)
Producer Tony Visconti uses the original master tapes from sessions at Hansa Studio in Berlin to get to the heart of one of David Bowie’s best-loved songs, the title track from "Heroes". We hear the song built up by individual contributions, including those from guitarist Robert Fripp, Brian Eno's 'synthesiser in a briefcase' and of course David Bowie's powerful, harshly emotional vocal. This film with Tony Visconti is an extended version of that on the BBC Four programme Music Moguls: Melody Makers. It closes with the iconic music video for Heroes, directed in 1977 by Stanley Dorfman. Release date: 27...

American Thinker ^ | 2 Mar, 2024 | The Ghost
We are all Steve Baker now, writes a longtime personal friend of Baker's, who, along with Baker, has contributed to American Thinker. As many of you know by now, The Blaze’s journalist Steve Baker was arrested yesterday by the FBI, put in handcuffs, leg irons, and paraded before a magistrate who read off charges of ... wait for it ... four misdemeanors. Four FRIGGIN misdemeanors. Charges, not convictions, mind you. Nonetheless: Leg irons. Handcuffs. Hours in a jail cell. The message is clear: you dare go against the government narrative, this could be you. All that was missing was the...

David Bowie Oasis Prince Elton John, he never really got on with the ‘Your Song’ singer, “An old bitch… his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes,” Richards once said of the Rocketman without so much as a second thought. Led Zeppelin, “The guy’s voice started to get on my nerves. I don’t know why; maybe he’s a little too acrobatic.” Metallica

Pop culture is forever playing tricks on us. What we perceive as an unrivalled classic that defined an era, in reality, quite often had a difficult upbringing sullied by capricious circumstance before fate decided it had been held down too long and unleashed it upon the world. Sometimes it would seem that the masses weren’t quite ready for these culture-changing epics. Other times it would seem that the fist of fate was unwilling to release the record from its ruthless grasp. We’re taking a look at the top ten times in which a record nearly sunk completely before it swam...

UPWIND - YouTube ^ | Count Vlad
Count Vlad plays tribute to Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" and the Scorpion's "Wind of Change". It's a critique of the violence and anarchy currently happening. And he points to Christianity in the form of the Orthodox Church (due to the lyrics of the Scorpions' song). However, Moscow in Russia is also coupled with Moscow, Idaho and the events that plagued that Christian community. But the message is clear -- Christianity is the future wind of change. If you like the music, please subscribe to the channel. *Beware some scenes are very VIOLENT and GRAPHIC.
