David Bowie is back and in his new video for the single “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” he brought some star power.
Actress Tilda Swinton plays Bowie’s wife in this avant-garde look at midlife. We’re also treated to additional runway star power in the form of super androgynous models Andrej Pejic and Saskia De Brauw (wonder if they’re friends of Imans?).
One of the great things about the approach the Bowie to with the video for “The Stars” is that it’s more than just your run of the mill music video. It’s got the glamour and style that you would expect from Bowie with the right amount of oddity.
Just like the song “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)”” the video is a little out there, cool, deep and very Bowie.
Bowie took to Facebook recently to share that in honor of Record Store Day (April 20th) he’s issuing a limited edition version of “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” backed with Where Are We Now? on vinyl 7” 45. How cool is that!! I’ll see you line to pick up a copy of this one.
Dr. John Cooper
Born in Latvia, Dr. John Cooper
migrated with his parents to this
country and grew up on his father's
beet farm. Poor, the only enjoyment
the family had was an old radio his
father recieved in a trade for his older
sister. Evenings were spent listening
to Amos 8- Andy, The Lone Ranger and
other old time radio shows which led
to his interest into the broadcast
industry. Alter 17 years as host of
Ohio's KHOG "Swap Shop" John hit the
big time by swaping his pet hamster,
Mason, for a degree from the College
of Musical Knowledge which he used
to land a gig in Central New York. From
there it was no where but up.
He joined PYX 106 after a short stint on Broadway in Michael Jackson's "The WIZ". His meteoric rise to the top as Program Director came as a surprise to all in the industry. When asked his most memorable moment in radio, John replied, "my interview with the guy who lived next door to the guy who was the third cousin of the guy who whittled a pair of drumsticks for Pete Best."
