Preview Of The Next Day Album!

By Bryan Vilfort

Many people thought that David Bowie had stopped as a musician. However, the living legend and rock icon is back with the beautiful single 'Where Are We Now?,' which you should check out. The new single is going to feature on his upcoming record 'The Next Day.'

When I heard Bowie's new single on Vimeo, I was pleasantly surprised. While, 'Where Are We Now?' is low key, it is a beautiful single. I'm very excited to hear the rest of the album, will it live up to the single? Let's do a preview of the coming album. In this 'The Next Day' preview, I go through essential facts and gossip about the album, and analyze the single 'Where Are We Now?.'

One rumor that has surrounded 'The Next Day,' is that the album is going to be contemplative like the single, while the rest of the songs on the album are faster. In an interview on the Guardian, the producer of the new album, Tony Visconti says, that this is true. Tony, who has worked on 12 of Bowie's previous albums, tells that the new record has 5 fast songs and some mid-tempo tracks that have a mysterious and evocative sound.

Having heard the single, one could think that Bowie's new album will be more mellow. According to Tony, Bowie is not going to sound mellow or as an old man, on the contrary. In the studio, the singer often sang so loud that the producer had to move away from the singer. On the single, Bowie just wanted to show another musical aspect - a softer side.

'The Next Day' album was recorded secretly over a period of two years in the famous NYC's Magic Shop Studios, says Tony Visconti. It was made by a closed circle of Bowie's old friends. All, with a few exceptions, they are people that Bowie has worked with before on tours or in studios. This is also the reason, why it was possible for Bowie to keep the album release a secret until the last minute. A quite remarkable achievement these internet days, where almost everyone carries a smartphone.

While, Bowie previous had told Tony that he didn't want to sing anymore, Tony wasn't surprised when Bowie called and said that he wanted to record a new album. Tony thinks, that Bowie's creative mind made it necessary to express himself again as a musician - after 10 years of silence. 29 stunning songs were recorded in the studio, but not all of them fitted the album, which ended up having 14 track, with 17 on the deluxe edition. This means, that Bowie most likely will record a second album later this year. However, the producer doesn't know exactly when. Considering the great reviews 'Where Are We Now?' already has received, this looks good.

Neil McCormick, who is a music critic at The Telegraph, argues that Bowie's new single could be the most surprising and perfect comeback in music history. The song is perfect structured and has a unique mysterious sound, and it makes you want to listen the other songs on the coming record.

NME Track Reviews calls Bowie's single an addictive song. NME Track Reviews describes it as perfectly structured, and a song that should be on future Bowie greatest hits records.

The website Ultimate Classic Rock thinks that Bowie's voice on 'Where Are We Now?' sounds heartening, and also describes the track as an ear worm.

I agree. I have heard the song many times, and I had to press repeat - again and again. The song really grows on you, and it is impressive, how it crawls under your skin.

The album is expected to be released March the 8th 2013 in Australia, the 11th in the rest of the world, except USA, where 'The Next Day' is released the 12th.

Don't Be Worried About The Effectiveness Of Your Funny T-Shirts

By Kenneth Cann

I am sure you like to think of yourself as a bit of a jokester, right? You make your friends laugh sometimes, and you have enjoyed your moment in the spotlight when it comes to entertaining your personal circle of comrades. Well, even if it is just on a subconscious level, you've decided to buy some funny tshirts on the Internet and up the comedy ante. When your shirts arrive, you are bubbling with excitement at what your friends are going to think when you wear one of these tees to the bar tonight.

Well, the time draws neigh for you to go to your favorite meet-up with your buddies and you think you've picked out the absolute best of your new funny tshirts. You have the whole night visualized in your mind. You're going to make everyone you see laugh out loud at the sight of your excellent pick apparel, girls are going to flock to you, and strangers are going to buy you drinks. Needless to say, it's going to be a pretty great night.

You walk into the bar, and you might even be showing a bit of a swagger to your steps. There is chatter and music all around you as you make your way through the crowd to the cluster of your friends next to the bar. One of your besties has already seen your approach and is waiting for you with a grin and a beverage. Smiles, salutations, and an opening salvo of conversation gets you situated within the group and everyone is happy to see you...but no one has said anything about your shirt, which is the best one out of all of your new purchases.

As the night drags onward, you can't help but think about the lack of comments you've gotten. You have the best sense of humor in the whole room, so if anyone is going to be able to pick out the best funny t shirts, it's going to be you...right? What if you don't have the best sense of humor, though? What if you're not just being drunk and paranoid, and people are laughing at your weak attempts at bar room comedy behind your back?

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about your friends not appreciating your choice of funny tees. Funny t-shirts are completely subjective. There is no human connection between a shirt and a person, so the person observing the shirt is the one who must immerse themselves in the concept of the joke all alone. Humor is subjective, and what one person thinks is hilarious, another person may dismiss completely. You will always be funnier than the print on some t-shirt, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep buying them! You may get one that everyone connects to, so experiment and try to stick to humor that is grounded in the movies, music, and interests of those you most care about.
