HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID BOWIE - Scott Walker video free download

veritaseros

I love Walker's voice. It's very pleasing to listen to; I love how he articulates his words.And hearing Bowie get slightly emotional like that is very touching.

Bowie lost for words. Tx for posting this. Maybe Bowie owes Scott too back in 60's positions reversed.

When Scott Walker's music makes me paranoid and nihilistic, I listen to Scott Walker as a person to make me feel warm and fuzzy.

The amount of class and humanity in this video is honestly overwhelming. Especially coming from two of my own idols. Wow.

if you don't love both of these men, you live in a post modern, musical dystopia of pro-tools, laptop pop and the Cowell. I'd love to tie a Coldplay fan to a chair and play them Clara (from the Drift) or the entire Berlin trilogy. Lightweights

Scott Walker is THE artist that Bowie (and all of us who consider ourselves as creative) really deep down in our hearts want to be. Mind you Bowie does some great impressions, he is the best simulacre around and the champion of all us auto didacts. He's not God but he is an uncanny reflection- the mirror for which we search.

This is most likely the ONLY time this has happened. Bowie choking up in public, I mean.

Champiness

That distortion sounds so rhythmic.

N'awwwwwwwwwww

if you can post it that would be ace.

class from both sides.

What a brilliant, honest moment of mutual love and respect between two of the century's greatest artists. I'm stunned. The further we go into the 21st century and beyond, the more the musical period between 1960-2000 will look more and more like a miraculous aberration.

Mary Ann Hobbs revisited this clip yesterday on the third episode of her 6music breakfast show as well, clip is here (still poor audio unfortunately): bbc.co.uk/programmes/p013ng9v

Wow wow wow

Steve Cournane

ok I questioned the validity of this a week ago, I am going to retract that statement now.

I can assure you it is genuine. It was part of a show on BBC Radio1 hosted by Mary Ann Hobbs. Bowie biographer, David Buckley refers to it in his book "strange fascination" pg 466. Other messages for DB came from the likes of Bono, Neil Tennant, Brett Anderson, Placebo and many others. I have it all on cassette somewhere and im happy to upload it if i find it. I saved this clip at the time to pass on to a friend who happens to be the biggest Scott Walker fan i know. She knows it aint bullshit.
