Peter Capaldi in his full makeup as King Kinloch for Maleficent (2012)

Peter was supposed to appear in the opening of the movie as Maleficent's uncle, providing the backstory for the titular character. However, the first act was remade, and his scenes were cut. After over ten years, we can finally see what he would've looked like in the film!

Here's how Capaldi described what it was like to be made up as King Kinloch:

"Well, it's quite weird. You get picked up at half past three in the morning. And you sit in front of the mirror and they start the stuff. And if you have a little itch in your scalp, you know that you're not going to be able to scratch that itch for another 20 hours. I was in make-up for six hours every day to get these large pointed ears and a pointed nose. Once they're done, you look in the mirror and wonder 'Who is this old guy? He looks sort of like Peter Capaldi except for the pointed ears.' Then you walk on set and everyone looks at you and says that they think you look great. But you haven't done anything. You're just wearing all this work that everybody else did."

One of my Mother’s Day gifts was St Vincent’s new album, which is divine. It’s less ambitious than her previous two, more in line with her 2014 self-titled and Strange Mercy. I absolutely love the high concept albums, but it’s good to hear her in this mode too. She sounds very herself, Bowiesque and as hooky as it is atmospheric.

Dallon Weekes is very Bowiesque which is not discussed enough

Song Review: Umphrey’s McGee feat. Huey Lewis & the News and Jeff Coffin - “Let’s Dance”

It’s weird enough that Umphrey’s McGee and Huey Lewis & the News would team up to remake “Let’s Dance.”

But the really fucked-up thing is how well it works.

The vocally challenged jamband and the pop-rock group bring their polar opposites together to create an eminently enjoyable - if unadventurous - cover of David Bowie’s first serious turn toward radio-friendly singles.

The unlikely joint - also featuring Flecktones/Dave Matthews Band saxophonist Jeff Coffin - was recorded in 2018 on “the Howard Stern Show” and just released as a standalone.

With Lewis singing Bowiesque vocals and adding some harmonica to go with Coffin’s brass, the McGees essentially create a carbon copy of Bowie’s soundtrack. In the end, it’s nothing but weird fun; and sometimes weird fun is just what’s needed.

Does anyone remember an 80’s YA book called “The Ballad of T. Rantula”? It was about a group of misfit teenagers who coped with their trauma by inventing an imaginary friend: the KISS/Alice Cooper/Bowiesque rock star T. Rantula. They wrote T. Rantula’s songs, designed a T. Rantula logo, gossiped about T. Rantula’s outrageous exploits-he was rumored to have magic powers!-and boasted at school about attending T. Rantula concerts; this sort of thing was a lot easier to pull off before the Internet.

I dissociated and started erasing one of the top layers and the process and result were oddly satisfying.

WIP Part 2! So please ignore the David Bowiesque partial mop of hair atop Crowley’s head. But I figured that I could share a lil peek.

Do you folks know which scene from which chapter from @omgmussimm fic I’m drawing? *wriggles eyebrows* 🎇🎆

Tumblr would not allow me to embed the video in the original post I wanted to embed it into so you can find it here. Link to the fic and WIP Part 1 featured there.

Alright Dave? Hows things?..

in last nights dream louis was wearing smth very similar to this purple blazer and these silver trousers—it was all very bowiesque—and he performed like a bit rockier version of this song (skip to around 0:50 if u don’t wanna listen to the intro) completely with filthy dance moves and everyone went capital I insane. this one girl was like “he couldn’t be bothered to get it up (?) for ages but we ask him for a love song and he goes full out” . oh and he still had long hair
