GETTIN' ZIGGY WITH IT

Meet the man who fell to earth...and onto your iPhone.

In the 35 years since David Bowie first came out as Ziggy Stardust, music has morphed from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s. But technology hadn’t been nearly as transformative when it came to the electrifying photos of Bowie, snapped by Mick Rock; though you could pick up a book with the renowned rock photographer’s prints, you couldn’t really interact with them.

Which might make the Ziggy Stardust eBook App the most revolutionary moment in Bowie’s career since dying his hair red. The iPhone app features more than six hundred images from the Mick Rock archive, all shot between March 1972, when Ziggy was first introduced, and October 1973, when the ZIggy persona was retired.

It’s not just the photos—many of them never published before—that make this app so cool; you can also find out where and when it was shot, as well as notes from Rock on everything from where Bowie bought his platform shoes to how he applied his makeup.

And if there’s an image you particularly like, the email function lets you send yourself a copy. Whether the print ends up hanging on your wall, hovering on your desktop, or cut into a card is up to you—just as long as you remember to add glitter.

Like, for real.

Is this a novel way to pay tribute to a favorite artist?

Or just the nuttiest thing you’ve ever seen?

De son vrai nom William Boray, ce messie rock aiguisé était né en 1953, dans le New York défoncé à la benzédrine du romancier Selby, dont il aurait été le chapitre d'exposition vivant du Last Exit to Brooklyn, «devant chez le Grec».

Quelques retours de gloire ponctuent la suite. Some returns glory punctuate more. Une BO rock à la violence lustrale, pour le navet pédé Cruising, passe inaperçue. A Soundtrack to Violence rock lustral for Cruising gay turnip, goes unnoticed. Le fan transi Mark Knopfler (de Dire Straits) produit un luxueux album sauvetage de Willy DeVille en 1987 : Miracle, mécénat que Deville paie en mépris.

Along the way, Willy DeVille, in other sovereign transitional shuffles, became, without ever having been a star on the seasonal return at the Paolo Conte Cajun or John Lee Hooker salsero mâtiné of bullfighter Luis Mariano.

Coucou. Un certain public français de la première heure adore ce Fracasse binaire à l'égal d'un Bashung (qui partageait avec DeVille un lustre forain frôlant majestueusement le tocard) et le fête à l'Olympia, où il arrive toujours deux heures en retard et fait le «duck walk» sur Lipstick Traces. Coucou. Some french public hours of the first binary Fracasse love this just like a Bashung (who shared with a chandelier DeVille fairground Majestically touching the tocard) and the festival at Olympia, where it is always two hours delay and the "duck walk" on Lipstick Traces. DeVille sort avec une régularité de coucou des albums un peu flemmards, qui ne font plus événement mais toujours plaisir, sans déroger au Savoir Faire, titre maison valant blason. DeVille with a sort of regularity coucou albums a little flemmards, which are always more fun event, but without derogating from the Savoir Faire, under house valant shield.

Willy DeVille avait une théorie imparable. Willy DeVille was an unstoppable theory. Le rock, disait-il, est français. The rock, he said, is french. C'est du rigodon, de la bourrée, du kan a diskan, du yodel donnant le hick-up, du menuet entre autres cadences de France virées au marécage cajun, donnant enfin le rockabilly et ses avatars névrosés, cuit au melting-pot noir, latin, anglo-européen… Il ne disait pas Peau-rouge, sauf en envoi. It's rigodon, the stuffed, du kan has diskan of yodeling giving hick-up, the minuet between other cadences de France transferred to swamp cajun, rockabilly, finally giving its avatars and neurotic, cooked to melting-pot black , Latin, Anglo-European ... He did not redskins except shipment. Le 15 juin, la faculté soignant le rockeur pour hépatites, lui révélait son cancer du pancréas. On 15 June, the nursing faculty for the rocker hepatitis, he revealed his cancer of the pancreas. En sachem, Willy Boray, dit DeVille, qui rêvait de s'installer en Corse pour y finir sa vie, prenait posément la chose, jouait un peu de guitare, lut, et voilà. In SACHEM, Willy Boray, said DeVille, who dreamed of moving to Corsica to end his life, took it calmly, played some guitar, read, and that's it. Fini l'Olympia. Olympia finished.
