The Next Day by David Bowie

It’s true!  David Bowie has come out of retirement and is releasing a new album entitled “The Next Day” on March 12, 2013.  The album cover, which is quite possibly the worst album cover I’ve ever seen, has 4 counterparts in teaser posters that are now being blasted all over New York City.  What do you think of the art work?  Let’s just focus on the important things – Bowie is back and if there’s a god, he will tour!  :)

Are you ready to have a solo kiki?  Scissor Sisters’ guitarist Del Marquis is prepping for a spring release of his debut solo album “Slow Nights” and to whet everyone’s appetite, he’s offering a free mixtape for a limited time.  The 6 track mixtape features Xavier (on an ultra funky cover of Jermaine Jackson’s “Let Me Tickle Your Fancy”) and also features members of Prince’s former band the New Power Generation!  Download “Tickle” on Del’s official site while supplies last (link will open in a new window).

And you can also watch a Not Safe For Closed Minded People video for “Let Me Tickle Your Fancy” on Paper Magazine’s official website.

If this doesn’t make you have a kiki, I don’t know what will.
