More music videos (probably going to be a continuing series, yeah)

Will blog about life stuff eventually. Um... look over there, it's David Bowie singing duets with people!

(I got these off various ILM Youtube threads.)

Bowie and Bing sing "White Christmas" "The Little Drummer Boy" (whoa, Freudian slip). LOL CLASSIX.

Bowie and Cher sing a swingin' medley and do the bump-bump-bump. Mid-70s Bowie alien redhead on coke period. Cher wears Katamari cousin head wig. Why is TV not like this anymore. :/

Bowie and Damon Albarn sing "Fashion". Damon looks like he's trying to figure out on the fly whether duetting with David Bowie calls for sincere hip or ironic hip or sincerely ironic hip and it's sort of giving him a headache.

Bowie sings "Wake Up" with the Arcade Fire. It doesn't quite work but theoretically this could sound really good.

Basically this is what happens to you when you manage to stay a hipster for DECADES.

David Bowie - Stay (Dinah Shore live, 1975): there's an entire ILM thread devoted to Youtubes of publically coked out 70s Bowie. :/ (Srsly, nowadays they'd never let anyone come out and do a talk show this high. (Unless they do; I haven't watched any Pete Doherty interviews.)) I got this off said thread, but really it's just a brilliant performance. As an aside the wiggly transitions remind me of the latest Bloc Party PMV which I think is supposed to be a dramatization of the band doing a candy flip at an indie club nite. orz

SFW OR NOT? YOU BE THE JUDGE: outtakes from "John, I'm Only Dancing" video. ...I guess that's pretty much the punchline right there.

There's a lot of Bowie stuff on Youtube! He or his record company or whatever don't seem to bother too much trying to get vids taken down.

It occurs to me that I skipped the 80s up there. Maybe I should insert Bowie 'n' Freddie, or something.
