What to Expect from Bowie in 2022

Saturday Jan 01, 2022
I'm Charlie and I like Bowie.
In what I'm deciding is officially a festive new year's tradition that needs, nay demands, its own Hallmark greeting card, I'm once again putting forth my humble yet well-informed opinions of what Bowie releases will materialize in the incoming year. The plans of the Bowie camp are notoriously fickle, but I like to give it the ol' college try nonetheless.
Oh! And watch out for one of our sporadic brand new episodes of Bowie Vs. Dylan examining 2021 in forensic detail, hopefully dropping on January 15, 2022, assuming Jake rediscovers his pride and posts it on time.
Let's take a look.

Thru These Architects Eyes Redux: One Fan‘s Idle Speculation
Saturday Jul 03, 2021
Saturday Jul 03, 2021
Bowie Vs. Dylan may have largely run its course but that doesn't mean an obsessive Bowie fan can't obsess over the possible contents of an upcoming release. After a miss in both 2019 and 2020, a fifth Bowie "era" box set was confirmed by Parlophone to be released in 2021. It will cover the years 1993-2001 which makes it largely similar to the predictions I made last year. There's plenty more info available now though so it's time to take another stab at it.
In the past, these sets were announced in June-July for a September-October release. That seems plausible again this year. Let's ride.

What to Expect from Bowie in 2021

I'm Charlie and I like Bowie.
The last two years in a row, I put together a couple of posts about what I thought the Bowie camp would release in the year to come. While Bowie Vs. Dylan has largely ended (though stay tuned for a new episode on January 15, 2021), this feels like a solid tradition and I've decided to continue. And this year we actually know a surprisingly large amount about what's coming already! So come along for a look at what might be.

Thru These Architects Eyes: One Fan’s Idle Speculation
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
For four glorious years, we Bowie fans were treated to big fat box sets containing multiple remastered studio and live albums in super deluxe packaging with non-album tracks, rare mixes, and some frustratingly unnecessary duplication. But it was mostly good!
Then, last year, there was... nothing. But this year, for very good reasons (detailed below), I think a new 1990s-focused set is coming and I wrote a big fat post about what I think will be inside. Hit the jump for my speculations.

Iggy Pop's The Bowie Years - Unboxing Is Back and Better Than Ever
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Iggy Pop just released a new box set! And they called it The Bowie Years in a transparent cash grab attempt to get hard core Bowie fans like Charlie to plunk down some hard earned bread on a big ol' set that only features, but is not exclusively dedicated to, Bowie. But hey, it worked! And Charlie even made an unboxing video about the thing. Click through to view.

What to Expect from Bowie in 2020

I'm Charlie and I like Bowie.
Last year, I put together a post about my speculations for what the Bowie camp would release in 2019. It ended up being far and away the most popular article BOWIE VS. DYLAN ever published. Trying desperately to capture lightning in a bottle once again, I'm going to run the same drill for the upcoming and still fictional sounding year of 2020.

Friday Jul 05, 2019
So here we are, half way through the Year of Our Lord 2019. It's been a stupidly prolific year for our man Bowie and it seems like a good time to take a look at what the Bowie kingdom has been tossing out so far to an unprepared and largely unappreciative world. And hey, we'll also take a peek at what's to come for the second half. Why not?

Unboxing Baby Bowie
Friday Apr 05, 2019
Friday Apr 05, 2019
Hey! Some early Bowie demos came out today and for some reason they were released as a quadruple 7" vinyl box set! But the box set looks pretty swanky and the music is rather fascinating. So watch your pal, Charlie, unbox it for you after the jump.
