david bowie said that his music is very chaotic and experimental and all over the place and eccletic bc the human brain can think a huge number of images per second and it's all about chaos and he wanted to translate this amazing capacity for chaos that our brain has into music

- so he basically gave us music for bi adhd people

5. Stutz  Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill sits down with his therapist for a doc about the therapist and his approach, that is insightful and thought-provoking.

4. The Pez Outlaw  Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel

This profile of a man who smuggled rare Pez dispensers into America in the 90s and made millions is so crazy and outlandish you need to see it to believe it!

3. Moonage Daydream  Brett Morgen

Morgen’s doc about David Bowie was made with the Bowie Estate and had some rare footage of the rock legend, but it was really the sci-fi approach to the subject that made this electric!

2. Good Night Oppy  Ryan White

The inspirational story of Opportunity, the Mars rover that was expected to live 90 days and explored Mars for 15 years, was the big screen Event Movie of documentaries in 2022!

1. Last Flight Home  Ondi Timoner

Ondi turned the camera onto her father Eli Timoner towards the end of his life with a cinema vérité account of the family confronting death. This went beyond a movie or a documentary and was truly an emotional life experience that was captured on film by one of the people experiencing it. Nothing but respect and admiration for Ondi and her brave filmmaking at such a time.

Merry Christmas!!!

I was just wondering— how much do you know about the bootleg record His Master’s Voice - Bowie and the Spiders From Mars’ Last Stand? I can’t find many details about it online and you seem like you’d be wise on the subject

I’m flattered you thought to ask me, but I really don’t know much at all - but I have done some research upon seeing this ask. Not sure exactly what you want to know, but hopefully these crumbs of research give you some info that you aren’t already aware of?

It's a press of the famed 1973 concert where Jeff Beck plays for some songs - the performance in question is last Ziggy Stardust concert, at the Hammersmith Odeon. This is the same concert at which the 1979 documentary was filmed. The bootleg features some little throw-ins at the concert, including a cover of Love Me Do.

The key here, the bootleg-necessitating key here, is Jeff Beck. I believe he was unhappy with his performance on this night, which was being filmed for the doc. Hence, he requested that the footage of him would be removed from the final cut of the film. The footage in question actually wasn't officially available until 2022's Moonage Daydream documentary.

This would not stop people recording the audio themselves at the concert. Thus, TAKLR's Bowie And The Spiders From Mars' Last Stand - His Masters Voice became popular in bootleg circles.

And hence, the second key is TAKRL, or The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label. TAKRL was one of the first bootleg record labels in America. Apparently, they were active from 1973 to around the late 70s. This page has a tracklist for the album, as well as a few quotes from TAKRL. And some moderately goofy comments. You might also be able to find info on other Bowie bootlegs on this site.

For those who'd like to listen, there's an upload of the vinyl to Youtube. Notably, the uploader redacts an intro placed on the B-side before Time, which is apparently something called "Orgies A Tool For Witchcraft" by a Louise Huebner. Apparently she was the only "officially appointed Official Witch in the whole world". You can't find much about her, but I did find an upload of a 1969 album - Louise Huebner's Seduction Through Witchcraft - that seems to include the intro in question. I haven't listened to it at all so I really don't know what it's about. Anyways. Odd little tidbit that the bootlegger chose to add.

Can't figure out the significance of the His Master's Voice reference. Doesn't look to be associated with the HMV label as far as I can tell, and I don't know if TAKRL had any other bootlegs with the reference. The most common album cover I can find is this, but this second one with the iconic His Master's Voice image was hanging around on an online vinyl shop. I'm mostly including it because I just think it's a bit funny

TLDR: 1974 bootleg recording of the final Ziggy Stardust performance (3 July 1973). Featured Jeff Beck.

Personally, I think the Rock'n'Roll Suicide performance is a highlight.

I hope this helped in some way, and didn't just regurgitate stuff you knew already. Thank you for asking! I love researching these sorts of things. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will do my very best to answer. Merry Christmas to you as well!

If anyone else has any info, feel encouraged to share.

Moonage Daydream (2022)

[vams225]

i recently watched moonage daydream (dir. by brett morgen, 2022), it’s a documentary on david bowie. normally i’m not the type of person to watch documentaries for fun unless i particularly have to, but if i ever have to make a documentary (which i probably will cause i want to go to film school) i would want to look and feel like moonage daydream. it was just so outstanding to look at and hear. it was all so much about sounds and visuals that it felt like watching a fever dream being played in film. it truly captured what i like to think was the essence of who david bowie was.

BMG reports fastest growth and largest investment in music in the company's history

MUSICWEEK

by Andre Paine | March 30th 2023 at 12:31PM

BMG has reported its fastest growth in the history of the company, which launched almost 15 years ago.

It’s a strong set of results for CEO Hartwig Masuch, as he prepares to hand over to Thomas Coesfeld next year.

The BMG financial performance in 2022 was published within the results of parent company Bertelsmann.

BMG increased revenues by 30.6% year-on-year (more than €200m) to €866m - the fastest growth ever recorded. Organic growth contributed 22.8%.

The recordings business grew by 38%, while publishing was up by 26%. Sync revenue across both was up 34%.

Streaming was key to the strong growth at BMG. Digital publishing revenue increased by 43%, while digital recorded revenue increased by 48%.

In a joint message to staff, Hartwig Masuch and Thomas Coesfeld wrote: "It was a historic year for BMG in which we grew our scale significantly, but just as importantly improved our capabilities, delivering more money more quickly than ever before to artists and songwriters with better service, underpinned by our core values of fairness and transparency.

"2022 proved once again that we are successful not in spite of those distinctively BMG values, but precisely because of them."

The UK was the second biggest territory by revenue (12.2%) after the US (53.9%). BMG’s home market of Germany was responsible for 12% of revenue.

During 2022, BMG also made its largest annual investment in music content to date, totalling more than half a billion euros.

BMG invested a record €50m in the acquisition of music catalogues and artist signings in 2022. In the financial year, BMG made 45 acquisitions in the catalogue sector alone, including the catalogues and licensing rights of artists such as Peter Frampton, Jean-Michel Jarre, Fools Garden, Harry Nilsson, Simple Minds, Primal Scream and Chris Rea.

In the recorded business, BMG concluded new contracts or extended existing ones with artists including Rita Ora, Logic, Julian Lennon, Marteria, Stefflon Don, Nickelback and Jason Aldean.

"Importantly, we are not just a passive financial investor in these prized catalogues," wrote Masuch and Coesfeld. "We are a music company committing to breathing new life into these artists’ legacies... These transactions reflect not just our belief in the future of music, but the belief of artists and songwriters that we will deliver for them and the belief of our parent, Bertelsmann, in our ability to execute on our strategy."

Top-selling albums in 2022 included releases by Jason Aldean, Louis Tomlinson, Mötley Crüe, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Backstreet Boys, Buena Vista Social Club, Kylie Minogue, and Bryan Adams.

In the publishing business, the catalogues of Bruno Mars, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, Juice Wrld, Kurt Cobain and Roger Waters generated high revenues, noted BMG.

The year’s top-selling new releases for publishing came from artists including DJ Khaled, Kontra K, George Ezra, Carly Pearce, Maxwell, Riccardo Zanotti, Peter Fox, RAF Camora, Kraftklub, Max Giesinger and Johannes Oerding.

New contracts or contract extensions/renewals were signed with Halsey, Elvis Costello, Robin Kadir, Bazzazian, Slowthai, Jessie Reyez, Afrojack, Montez and Lucry.

Moonage Daydream, the film about David Bowie released by BMG, became the most successful documentary of 2022, with worldwide revenues of €12.2m.

BMG’s EBITDA was up more than €50m to €195m.
