For reasons I don’t understand, the full length non-live version of “Hero’s” is not on any #davidbowie #greatesthits or similar. I couldn’t even add it to this share, only a shorter single version. In any case, problem solved. #wecanbeheroes #justforoneday CD cover: David Bowie - Hero’s; in black and white

David Bowie and his wife, supermodel Iman, owned a ninth-floor condominium at the JW Marriott Essex House located at📍160 Central Park South in NYC, living there from 1992 to 2002.

During their residency, the couple famously had a private panic room installed, which later owners subsequently removed and converted back into standard bedroom space.

A personal Yamaha grand piano owned and played by Bowie was left in the residence during subsequent sale listings over the years.

Another notable resident of Essex House was Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky.

Lastly, famed musician Donny Hathaway jumped from a 15th-floor balcony at Essex House in January 1979, dying in an apparent s*****e.

The BBC used this for the Moon landing. They apparently missed one tiny detail: Major Tom never makes it home.

In 1969, Space Oddity sounded perfectly timed for the space age—but Bowie later said the Apollo mission wasn’t its true spark.

The song began after he saw Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, repeatedly, while “out of my gourd.” The film’s scale and strangeness unlocked something: not a triumphant anthem about conquering space, but a chilling story about isolation, broken communication, and a man drifting beyond reach.

Then came the great cosmic irony.

British television chose the song as background music for the Moon landing. As Bowie recalled with a laugh, someone must have heard “space song” and “Major Tom” without really listening to the lyrics. It was a glorious soundtrack for humanity’s biggest leap—except its astronaut gets stranded in space.

That tension is why the 1973 performance still lands so hard. The spectacle is dazzling. The melody floats. But underneath it, Ground Control keeps calling into the silence:

“Can you hear me, Major Tom?”

More than half a century later, it remains less a celebration of space travel than a beautiful warning about distance, disconnection, and what happens when the signal disappears.

Did the BBC accidentally make the moment more powerful—or completely miss the point?

Save this for your next late-night Bowie listen and share it with someone who still looks up.

Un día como hoy 1983, DAVID BOWIE lanza "Modern Love"("Amor moderno"), canción extraída de "Let's Dance", decimocuarto álbum de estudio del cantante, compositor, músico, productor y actor británico. Coproducida por Bowie y Nile Rodgers, de la banda estadounidense Chic, es una canción de rock con elementos de la new wave. Se grabó en el estudio 'Power Station' de Manhattan y fue uno de los primeros temas del álbum. Bowie la interpretó en la gira "Serious Moonlight", donde solía cerrar los conciertos. En 1983 se lanzó un video musical de la canción, dirigido por Jim Yukich, que incluía una interpretación de la canción durante la gira, y se emitió con frecuencia en MTV.
Desde su lanzamiento, "Modern Love" ha recibido elogios de la crítica musical, que elogió la composición de Bowie, su producción y su potente tema de apertura. Se considera una de las mejores canciones de "Let's Dance", junto con "China Girl" y el tema principal, y desde entonces se ha considerado una de las mejores canciones de Bowie. El sencillo fue un éxito comercial, alcanzando el N°2 en la lista de sencillos del Reino Unido y el N°14 en el Billboard Hot 100 de Estados Unidos . "Modern Love" ha aparecido en varios álbumes recopilatorios y fue remasterizada para la caja recopilatoria del 2018 "Loving the Alien (1983-1988)".

🇯🇵tech/gnosis ‼️tokyo node‼️ 🐇🕳️ Solo Exhibition in Japan, co-curated Reiko Tsubaki and Alice Ko. In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat inside a closed box may be considered to be simultaneously both alive and dead while it is unobserved, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. This experiment, viewed this way, is described as a paradox.
Approximately half of the 49 exhibited works are premiering in Japan for the first time! Featuring a surprising collaboration with cafe within Toranomon Hills.

TOKYO NODE, operated by Mori Building Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Yasuhiro Kogo, President and CEO), is proud to host Tony Oursler: Tech/Gnosis-Magic, Media, Art from Friday, July 3, to Sunday, September 27, 2026

This exhibition features 23 works making their Japanese debut. This includes four world-premiere pieces, including: Chimera (2026), a large-scale new work that utilizes TOKYO NODE’s dome-shaped gallery space with a 15-meter-high ceiling, and Empty (2000).
While he maintained close relationships with artists such as Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Constance DeJong, Tony Conrad and Kim Gordon has been highly acclaimed within the Japanese contemporary art scene, his work has never before been introduced on a comprehensive scale in Japan. This exhibition marks his first large-scale solo show in the country, allowing visitors to experience everything from his early signature pieces to his latest works created for this occasion all at once as well as Imponderable 5D feature film produced by LUMA
