I've only tried a little bit to get my head around the story, but I'm more a 'music' guy, than 'lyrics'. He could sing out of the phone book, and if the music is great, I'd still be at least somewhat interested. But fantastic lyrics coupled with insipid music, I couldn't be bothered. [For example, I prefer David Gilmour's solo output (and his version of Pink Floyd) about 5x over nearly everything Roger Water's has ever done solo (including The Final Cut, and even great gobs of The Wall, to be perfectly honest).]

That said, one could almost argue that Outside is one of Bowie's least cohesive albums of his entire career. Fortunately, what it's built out of has some spectacular stuff.

Have you ever heard the live liveandwell album (which actually came out on CD, legit, through some sort of official David Bowie on-line fan club, through Bowie.net). I stumbled on a used copy (it has a second CD with a few studio cuts, all remixes), for about $40 in a used CD store sometime around 2005. Pricy, sure, but looking on-line that was about the going rate. I'm pretty cheap, but I took a chance on it, and the first "live" disc is one of my single favorite Bowie releases, bar none. Drawn half from Outside and half from Earthling, several of the tracks best their studio counterparts (and even better than all live versions of those same tracks from the Live BBC 2000 3rd disc, from the Bowie at the Beeb set).

I almost never listen to the 2nd disc, but it was worth every penny just for disc #1. (and if my copy ever got stolen or went missing today, I'm sure I'd plunk down another $40 for a replacement copy. Unfortunately I don't know that I could fine one anywhere near that cheap now.

FWIW, here's a few from Amazon, starting at $75 (outch!). But looking at "completed listings" on eBay for the last month, it seems like the true "going rate" is more like about $32 or $33, or maybe $39 -- so keep your eyes out, it can be had for the price of a good night's dinner)

I haven't read a biography but I have read the very short and very good 33 1/3 on Low and despite focusing on Low it does cover a decent amount of information about Station to Station and goes into the beginning of his Berlin period. I would rank it as one of the most entertaining reads I've ever had, just phenomenal. I haven't read but one other book in that series but I can't believe any of them are as good as this one. Of course it helps that it's about the greatest album of all time.

Right? The funny thing is that she's in REM's hometown, so she's probably do better finding stuff there than I can just a couple of hours away.

I am having so much fun putting this together--thinking about what I would enjoy. I considered getting a Ziggy duckie to go with her bath stuff. I have one and I love him.

u/Wafflemonster2 · 4 pointsr/DavidBowie

It would appear that way ya. Here's a link to the amazon page of it. It sounds pretty interesting actually, I may have to check it out.

u/accessoryjail · 1 pointr/DavidBowie

I would recommend renting it on Amazon, though it's not the Criterion version, so it's not as good.

I feel like links to free online streams might not be allowed because of illegalness..?

I recently bought the Criterion DVD on ebay, and love having a hard copy, so you could look for that if you wanted to own it. Unfortunately, it's out of production, but it's possible that Criterion might do another run of it now...

Rebel Rebel by Chris O'leary is my favorite so far. It goes song by song through the earlier part of his career. Fantastic deep song analysis and meaning coupled with biographic details covering his life.

Let me introduce you to the Best of Bowie DVD set. If you ever have the chance to get or watch this DVD set, I highly suggest it. Most of his music videos, including quite a few I had never seen before, up to 2002 (when the set was released) and a few live performances (including my favorite Queen Bitch performance).

u/themanwithnoreddit · 12 pointsr/DavidBowie

33 1/3 is a series where writers pitch album biographies to Bloomsbury and the best ones get published. A Bowie one on Low was released back in 2005: https://www.amazon.com/David-Bowies-Low-Hugo-Wilcken/dp/0826416845

u/GamingGrandpa · 3 pointsr/DavidBowie

I would recommend this book for your friend.

The Complete David Bowie (Revised and Updated 2016 Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1785653652/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K1M-ybHEW2080

I'm in mobile so it's a bigger link than I would hope for but this is the most in depth Bowie book one could buy. I have it and am constantly learning new things every day.

u/typicalsystem · 6 pointsr/DavidBowie

Amazon page has this listed under the very well known Bowie pseudonym Project Lawrence huh?

u/Wowzie_Mime · 1 pointr/DavidBowie

I once had a piano book of Bowie songs that looked like the 'Best of Bowie year-year'. It's written as sheet music.

Also useful and well organized for learning Bowie songs, but mostly chords and guitar tabs: lovebolts

u/redfieldp · 2 pointsr/DavidBowie

The "Best Of Bowie" has all the official videos through hours... including this one. https://www.amazon.com/David-Bowie-Best/dp/B00006SFLG

Not sure about videos for Heathen/Reality, but The Next Day/Blackstar are all on Vevo still.

That being said, I just looked at the Bowie Vevo and almost everything is gone...strange!

u/delicatebunny · 1 pointr/DavidBowie

Derp! Sorry about this; I can only find the kindle. I know that the physical book exists, since my mom has a copy. I will keep looking, 'cause now it's bugging me. But here is a link where you can see the cover. https://www.amazon.com/Things-Never-Told-David-Bowie-ebook/dp/B01LLWOEPW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473307169&sr=8-1&keywords=things+i+never+told+david+bowie#nav-subnav

Edit: Looks like this pulls up the paperback, too. Double-derp.

u/hitmewithmuzak · 1 pointr/DavidBowie

I'm not sure, tbh it might not even be from a book I just assumed it was because of the gradient on the left, but you can get a shirt with it on it from Amazon for $15 or so.

u/fjhollings · 3 pointsr/DavidBowie

The 33 1/3 book by Hugo Wilcken about Low has quite a decent mix of information about the state Bowie and compatriots were in while recording Low as well as info about the techniques and instruments behind some of the tracks. Here's a link to that: http://www.amazon.com/David-Bowies-Low-Hugo-Wilcken/dp/0826416845/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453346390&sr=8-1&keywords=33+1+3+low

and I've heard good things about Tony Visconti's book Bowie, Bolan and the Brooklyn Boy but I haven't read it myself yet:

http://www.amazon.com/Tony-Visconti-Autobiography-Bowie-Brooklyn-ebook/dp/B002RIA08A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453346419&sr=8-1&keywords=Tony+Visconti

u/auntietrex · 1 pointr/DavidBowie

This is the best book from the published ones I've checked out. It doesn't have every song from Ziggy but it does have a lot of other songs from that era, including Life on Mars and Aladdin Sane.

u/HeroComplex7 · 2 pointsr/DavidBowie

There is a book written about Low and that period of time. I really want it.
