For so many reasons: he is a chameleon (much like moi), he has kick-ass as well as hilarious outfits, he makes awesome music (and he’s been doing it for ever), he is Charlie Hero’s and Karim Amir’s hero (and I love Karim Amir – he is my favourite Hanif Kureishi character by a long shot), and he wrote Ground Control to Major Tom, which was an important song to me when I was about 4 years old, because back then I wanted to be an astronomer (or an opera singer. A male opera singer – otherwise I couldn’t be Papageno).

Anyway, David Bowie: I will get to play with another one of his awesome songs, and you can play, too: Space Oddity is being re-released in remixable tracks to commemorate the 40-year moonlanding anniversary (has it only been 40 years? Seems more like 60 to me…). Coming out July 20th.
