OH NO!

Rueben just had a scary thought….what if David Bowie releases a new studio album (or albums) in the next 12 months?

You never know, it could happen.

And if it does it’ll scupper the whole timetable!
29 albums in 26 fortnights?

It can’t be done!

I’ve had to take drastic measures and emailed Columbia Records.



Here’s the text of my email:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I believe that David Bowie is currently signed to your label following the Sony BMG buy out of the Iso record company.
As such I would like to urge you to use your influence to discourage Mr Bowie from releasing any new studio album or albums in 2008.

A friend and I are planning to work our way through his entire back catalogue of 28 (studio) albums this year. In order to do so we have worked out a rigorous listening regime for the next 12 months.
To our mutual horror, we realised that if Mr Bowie were to release a new album this year our plans would be up the swany.

It is for this reason that we would appreciate your co-operation in our respectful request for no new David Bowie studio albums over the next 12 months. And that goes for Tin Machine too.

Your sincerely… etc,

You can email them too:
