Stream David Bowie's New Comeback Album "The Next Day"

 
"The Stars Are Out Tonight"

David Bowie's much heralded comeback album, "The Next Day", will be available for purchase on March 12. But you don't have to wait until then. For a limited time, "The Next Day" is available as a free stream through iTunes.

Click here to stream "The Next Day"


A lot has been made of the Bowie's surprise record release after 10 years of silence. Critics seem to be jumping up and down with excitement and hyperbole. Others are less ready to jump on the bandwagon, which is understandable given Bowie's suspect and uneven body of work since the 80s.

"Where Are We Now", certainly a strange choice for a comeback single, fanned the flames of those who proclaim Bowie has lost his musical chops. Taken on it's own, the song seems languid and depressing. But as part of the album, it sounds different as sandwiched between a couple of upbeat rockers. The hope and optimism of the song struck me completely differently when I listened to the whole record.

Bowie most cherished songs don't always immediately become favorites. First time I heard "Heroes" I thought it was strange yet catchy. I didn't love it, but there was something there I wanted more of. And after a few listens, I was hooked. I think the man enjoys creating compelling music while simultaneously challenging the listener a bit. Bowie's best work usually created sonic mindworms that took a while to incubate. That is the Bowie trademark and it continues on this album.

The voice is still there. And Most importantly, Bowie sounds ENGAGED, like he's having fun and couldn't care less what the rest of us think. Just like the old days.

Why I Hate The Grammys

Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Sting and others Perform Bob Marley Tribute at Grammys

The choice of LL Cool J as host (again) this year is a bit pandering. Legit enough to appeal to the Hip Hop community yet safe enough to relate to the white, over 30s crowd, the choice of LL is a compromise designed to appeal to the largest audience segment. Never mind that he's not particularly well spoken or appealing as a host.

But the real problem with The Grammys is the transient nature of Pop music and the incredible lack of foresight by voting members. The awards are too often given out to yesterday's big thing who will soon be tomorrow's forgotten footnote. Because of this this, the trophys are  rendered irrelevant before they are even given out, leaving many music aficianados scratching their heads in wonder.

Last night, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" took Record Of The Year honors. 6 months ago this would have made a bit more sense but the short shelf life of the song makes it already one nobody wants to hear anymore this year, if ever again. In 6 more months Gotye will be as relevant as A Taste Of Honey, who were once voted Best New Artist (beating out Elvis Costello) just before stepping into permanent obscurity. Oops.

Competing Record Of The Year nominee "We Are Young" by Fun. is similarly played out and way past it's due date. Not to be inconsistent, The Grammy's awarded Fun. with 2013 Song Of The Year accolades for the aforementioned, even though it was released in September of 2011 and has been bombarding the airwaves ever since. Most people who are familiar with Fun. already remember back when they were hot. Ah nostalgia.

To illustrate the point further, here are some Grammy nominees from 10 years ago. How many songs do you recognize? Of those, how many would you ever want to hear again?

"Everyday" - Bon Jovi
"Girl All The Bad Guys Want" - Bowling for Soup
"Where Are You Going" - Dave Matthews Band
"Girlfriend" - *NSYNC
"Complicated" - Avril Lavigne
"Overprotected" - Britney Spears
"It's So Easy" - Sheryl Crow & Don Henley
"Days Go By"- Dirty Vegas
"How You Remind Me" - Nickelback

Current trendy darlings Mumford And Sons DID deserve their Album Of The Year Grammy but it should have been in the Country or Folk category. Their music is about as Pop/Rock as Flatt & Scruggs or The Soggy Bottom Boys. This another example of Grammy members being swayed by what is currently trending as opposed to what is more likely to stand the test of time. The current revival of bucolic folk is destined to have the same fate as the Swing revival of the early 2000s. Remember Big Bad Voodoo Daddy?

Even more glaring are the staggering omissions of great songs and artists that were completely ignored. This year the sweeping epic, "Titanium" by Sia was overlooked as was music by Owl City, Neon Trees, Christina Perri, WALK THE MOON, Ellie Goulding and others.

The Grammys would do well to take a hint from The Academy Awards. Increase the number of nominees in each category and focus on those that are likely to have some staying power verses quickly evaporating flashes in the pan.
