Welcome to the Hallo Spaceboy News Archive. David Really Is Afraid of Americans In the recent article for the British version of GQ magazine, Bowie let us know that he and Iman have no intention of raising Little Alexandria in New York where they currently live. They are preparing to pack up and move to England-- however Bowie also said that he would still keep a place in New York which is "a wonderful city". (September 12, 2000) David, Iman, and Alexandria! The happy family appears on/in next week's issue of Hello! magazine. Here's what David had to say about becoming a father again: "It is amazing how a new child can refocus one's direction." You can find another article about the Hello! spot here: http://www08.u-page.so-net.ne.jp/db3/riri/news/baby/bowiesonthesun.htm (September 11, 2000) David Voted Most Stylish Man of the Year! GQ magazine and the Brits have voted him Most Stylish Man. The cover is a collectors cover, and I'm not sure if it's available in the US. Unfortunately for us Americans. Did I ever mention that I'm afraid of Americans? Anyway, congrats David! Here's a snippet from the BowieNet News section: "A four page piece inside the magazine puts David forward as the 'New Sinatra', a comparison that our favourite crooner is not wholly uncomfortable with: 'I do relate to Sinatra in that my tours are getting fewer and fewer. I don't tour just for the sake of touring any more. If you see me live these days you know I want to be doing it.' Not many reading this could disagree with the latter part of this statement, isn't it obvious he is having a ball? Elsewhere in the interview David gives a forthright assessment of awards in general: 'The question I always ask is: would I have been given this award if I didn't do the interview and photo session?...I'm not one for awards at all. Most of the music awards are on the basis of, if you turn up, you'll get it. And I say, fine, I don't want it. If you want me to have it, give it to me and I might surprise you and turn up. Otherwise, f*** off! But if your readers have chosen me...then I feel privileged, it's pretty marvellous.' Here! Here!" Q Magazine's 'Best Of...' Another snippet from BowieNet news: "This month's Q Magazine has a feature on the best 'Best Of...' albums of all time. They say: 'The truly great, 'greatest hits' acts as a souvenir, CV, and 'good record'. Hard to do, but these twelve make it look easy. David Bowie : The Singles Collection is chosen as one of the top twelve. 'The best thing about any Bowie compilation, no matter where you stick the pin in his career, is the sheer variety of stuff on offer.' 'Best Moment : The bit where he lets rip in Heroes, thus triggering producer Tony Visconti's staggered three microphone set up.' Look out for next month's Q Magazine, which will be on sale from Oct 1st. There is likely to be a two page spread review of the Bowie At The Beeb album ,and also a compilation CD attached to the front of the magazine, Chill Out, which features 'quite the most pleasant 70 odd minutes of aural soothitude you've ever experienced'. There will be a db track included." (September 7, 2000) Page: 2 Hallo Spaceboy
