I do not claim ownership of any of the following music/videos in any way whatsoever, and as such they are in no way my personal property whatsoever - i have simply chosen, of my own free-will, to showcase them here in order to provide some education/entertainment/relaxation/upliftment to both myself and all others who may like to watch/listen to their contents - if you find that you have enjoyed listening to them, then please consider purchasing them for yourself, in order to help the artist(s)/individual(s) further along their chosen journey through life...




About a month ago i happened to be reading some of the comments made, after watching a YouTube video - one of the comments said 'Bowie was never anything more than middle of the road' - to which i replied, rather sarcastically, 'Yeah, Ziggy Stardust was very middle of the road wasn't it'...

And then, about a week ago, i received a reply (the first of five actually - we 'ad a bit of a ding-dong innit) from someone else that included the following words, 'Musically, yes, it was mediocre' - to which part of my typed response stated 'in no way could David Bowie ever be described as 'mediocre' - that, in my eyes, is simply insulting to his memory'...

And hey, today i found that three David Bowie song titles were alluded to by myself (well ostensibly anyway) within a comment and attached reply within a Daily Mail Online newspaper article - later prompting me to offer such three (non 'middle of the road' and non 'mediocre' - within my mind at least) songs, here within the MUSIC part of this 'ere website of ours - enjoy...




Kooks ~ David Bowie...

This first one can be seen to flow on from some of my weekend Daily Mail Online newspaper commentary interactions involving the Anthony Joshua v Oleksandr Usyk fight...

...Re the lyrics, 'i'm not much cop at punching other peoples dads' lolz...

...AJ was, somewhat unexpectedly perhaps, beaten on points...




The Jean Genie ~ David Bowie...

I was tempted to use another 'official David Bowie' version for this particular selection
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK9ReEJ4tW0), purely to display David's 'Ziggy' look - however, i was Asked (nay, Implored dahlings) to use this live version instead - and hey, 'Davy B' (but only to me of course lolz) and me are like 'that' (imagine the finger thingy yeah) innit, so how could i possibly refuse eh...

Anyway, moving on, i was first introduced to the 'Ziggy' style of music waaay back inth day dahlings, when i found myself to be accompanying a smallish group of similarly-aged males into a disco/nightclub situated inth centre of Manchester - where listening to such a 'Ziggy'-style of music for the first time, came as somewhat of a culture shock to us all, at such a particular shared moment in time within each of our individual lives - and in no way whatsoever could it ever be accurately described as either 'middle of the road', or indeed 'mediocre' let me tell you...

And then, moving on to the early 80's, whilst working part-time behind the bar, within what was called the 'New Wave Roxy Bowie Room', within a different, 'out of town', disco, i was introduced, more immersively into the more post-Ziggy style of 'Bowie music', whereby the regular young patrons, especially, were all dressed rather eclectically, depending upon what their core musical affiliation most readily reflected - such a room within such a disco could most easily be described as a room that catered for specialist/non-generic musical tastes, rather than the main, musically generic, downstairs, and much larger, room within such a disco - and such patrons of such an upstairs room were looked upon as being 'weirdos', if you will, by the downstairs, generic crowd, so such a room in no way whatsoever catered for 'mediocre' and 'middle of the road' musical tastes dahlings (and with that, i rest my case m'lud, lolz)...




Loving The Alien ~ David Bowie...

So, moving onwards once again, this particular musical offering constitutes the last of the three 'Davy B' song titles (given/offered in the order Requested btw) that were alluded to whilst making both a comment and adjoined reply on a (Roswell born) Demi Gen(i)e Moore themed article onth Daily Mail Online newspaper...

...I wonder if she really is 'kooky' like wot eye iz???...

...Maybe Bruce will tell me eh - well, in me dreams perhaps lolz...
