David Bowie tribute album

Starman 1972
Pioneer 10 was 1972
Again this leads back to the theory of it being a space themed album, with insperations from David Bowie. Clearly the bros idolized him, as they have practically NEVER said anything on social media, yet the one time they do is that tweet I linked above.
I know it's been brought up many times, I just wanted to bring it up again because it feels right, it feels plausible, it feels like an area of sound I would LOVE to hear the bros explore.
EDIT: Speaking of 1972.. that makes the 50th anniversary of the Pioneer Plaque launch... Next year...
Next year... ???

Here's a connection that hasn't been drawn in regards to that. Bowie and his band covered Alpha and Omega, which grew into another track during the Black Star period. Bowie covered a Geo track and its anniversary is next year, as is the pioneer plaque. So this ties yours and Funnnpng's theory together.
Tomorrow the Calix album drops and we're home free for new music.

Is there a recording of his Alpha and Omega cover? Or do we at least know which track on Black Star is inspired by it? That's honestly amazing, and is indeed another good point to the theory.

It's definitely one of the tracks on the Black Star album, but I'm not sure they clarified which one it is. For some reason, my mind leaps to the progressive rock title track but I'm probably wrong.

They revealed the title of it - "somewhere" - not on the Blackstar album.

It was later renamed to "Blaze" according to the Nicholas Pegg's book, and it seems that the track was taken off last minute from the album

Maybe it was given to BoC to remix and they’re still working on it — after all it was only out in 2016 so they might need another year or three to finish?

Afaik Bowie was never directly involved in this cover or any cover of Alpha and Omega but I'm sure was a fan of McCaslin's cover, and by proxy took more inspiration from BOC. Last I heard about the teased Blackstar track, it was renamed and is still on the album albeit in a different state than when that interview took place so there's no obvious parallels. You can listen to McCaslin's cover here btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRcYRLoZCpg

I'll stand by what I said in the thread. BOC, like Daft Punk and the Residents, have deliberately elaborated on their mystique to some extent. And it is that window dressing that makes their allure so powerful, aside from the music. But that's not to deny that Mike and Marcus are genuine geniuses, because they are. They are musical geniuses and marketing geniuses as well.

Deeply troubled yes. But not unenlightened

Hope you're doing better, my friend. And I'll be happy to take up that discussion for real. As with all mysterious bands, sometimes there is a bit of myth making involved. The guys were a lot younger and quite ambitious, hence why we got something as Geogaddi, which to me, imo, is the album of this century.

Last night was was hearing voices and recently there have been these huge black flies that are mysteriously hatching in my flat from somewhere. I came home from work a couple of days ago to find 3 in my kitchen. I caught them and then 10 minutes later another 5 flying around. HUGE blue bottle flies. I have since caught about 30 of them. I've put them in the freezer because my ants can eat them once they come out of hibernation. But it's troubling me now because I am becoming superstitious. All the windows are shut and i've looked everywhere where they could be coming from and I can't find it. Not to mention that it's November and there shouldn't really be flies.

I don't know what to believe anymore with this Sheol Boundary account. The fact MDG hasn't shut it down publicly makes me believe it's genuine, but on the other hand who is in the best position to create such an accurate parody video? Well I guess the owner of the original video is. I leave it up to you to decide.
