RETRO: Bowie minutiae

April 6th, 2007

Excerpted from a random All Experts post on David Bowie: “Bowie was never gay or bisexual. This was a lie told to Melody Maker Magazine to get some press coverage. At the time Bowie’s career was almost finished as Hunky Dory had been released and flopped and there was a fourteen city British tour where […]

Sebadoh reunion not for the money?

April 6th, 2007

Lou Barlow has confessed to NME that, while his participation in the Dinosaur Jr. reunion was partly for the money, “anything I do with Sebadoh is not for the money.
