What have people said about the Ziggy Stardust album and David Bowie in this period?

The Ziggy Stardust Companion - Frequently Asked Questions
quot;If they are still putting phonograph records in time capsules then we would like to recommend the new Bowie for inclusion. David's latest full-scale invasion of the mind is the telling saga of a rock and roll stars trek through a garden of unearthly delights. The songs are uniformly brilliant and the production by Bowie and Ken Scott is virtually flawless. It's an electric age nightmare. It's a cold hard beauty. It's another example of the shining genius of David Bowie.

Where did the name ZIGGY STARDUST come from?

The Ziggy Stardust Companion - Frequently Asked Questions
ZIGGY came from the name of a London tailor's shop (called "Ziggy's") that Bowie saw from a train one day. In an interview he said that it was his private joke that because Ziggy Stardust was going to be largely about clothes, he had named him Ziggy.

Have you ever met David Bowie?

Untitled Document
Yes I have. Him and I were on the same flight together going from Winnipeg to Edmonton. I was still in the bunny suit. I went to use the bathroom and there was Bowie! We had a moment where we stared at each other, smiled and went on our way. It was an odd moment. I don't care what people think of me. I dress how I want to. Yes I dress goth/punk but how you dress has nothing to do with who you are as a person. Original template was done by ex friend Brodie. I do most of the updates and HTML work.

WHICH IS DAVID GRAY'S BEST ALBUM?

David Gray: drunken gibberish: frequently asked questions
Obviously, that's a personal question. Each album is very different, with A Century Ends having many stand-out tracks, compared to say, Sell Sell Sell, which, while being a great album, has a different feel to it. For many fans, Flesh is the best, truest David Gray album, although surprisingly, David has expressed less-than glowing opinions about it himself. Indeed, aside from The Light and Coming Down, he rarely plays any of this album live.

What makes up an album?

TuneCore: FAQ
We call an "album" anything from one song to as many as you want. Even if it's an EP or a Single, we still call it an "album." If your album has dozens and dozens of songs, you can still upload them, but remember, an album can hold no more than 74 minute's worth of songs, no matter how many songs it's divided into. For example, you can have an album with ten songs, each song about 7 1/2 minutes long. You might have an album with only one song that's 74 minutes.
