YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!
Either this is some serious Life of Pi-like CGI trickery or David Bowie and Tilda Swinton are actually two separate alien gods from a planet where beings are made from the core of diamonds.
Besides a Sally Kirkland sighting, something was missing from my Oscar Sunday and that something was Tilda Swinton looking like a majestic horn-less unicorn towering over all those simple bitches, but this video more than makes up for that. Somebody finally heard our screams and prayers and put Tilda and Bowie together in the video for his single The Stars (Are Out Tonight). It's also got models Saskia de Brauw, Andrej Pejic and Saskia De Brauw in it and it's a genderfuck kaleidoscope for your eyes. Everybody in this is so damn angular. It's like they were made with the help of a protractor. Tilda, Bowie, androgynous nipples, beautiful protractor people and ice blue eyeliner are the only things your eyes need today.
I hope that this is just Bowie sticking the tip in and the shaft is a Bowie biopic starring Tilda and a Tilda biopic starring Bowie. Yes, today is the day that I learned that Tilda and Bowie are two different beings and thank the fuck for that.

How the fuckity fuck does Bowie, who is pushing 70, stay so cool, sexy & delicious? I still would, he is so yummy. Lucky Iman. I would just love to snog the guy, let alone anything else lol. I LOVE him & his music so much. Can't bare the thought of him not being around one day.
Omg!! This video is amazing!! I love Bowie and I love Tilda too! They're both so angular and delicious. Love it!!
I'm so excited that MK's fantasy came true! If this one can come true, just imagine all the possibilities!! :)
Love the sound. Floria Sigismondi's work and the Bowie-Swinton team are fabulous, (as expected). Who's the one playing young Tilda, is it Saskia? Dead ringer. Andrej too.
Now if only they'd dressed Bowie as Tilda and let Tilda do her Bowie. Even more fabulous! ;p

Pretty darn good. Of course it is, it's from Bowie.

I wasn't leaving my house today until I saw this video. Tilda's disco blue eyeshadow = life.

MIssed the Alabama Shakes link. Good. Good. Hoooooold on Good. Thanks Whams :)

The song is a grower, but the video is a masterpiece. Tilda Swinton should be in every video.

Whamo-- watched that Alabama Shakes video. Great song, and I agree, THAT is music and that is a hella good singer
===============================================
You like that eh! I know man they really do kick ass. I just discovered them on the weekend PBS Austin City Lights show.
love the video -- the director: http://www.floriasigismondi.com/
love Bowie, song is routine but always happy to see him
and i think it will be a while before i eat turkey again.

About Bowie... I was a fan of his when I was in high school... China Girl and all that. I really like him, not so much his music, but the persona... don't know why? The video did have beautiful, angular people in it, but it was too artsy for me. I am too impatient for artsy. Say what you have to say, don't make me analyze.
Veebs! How u doin? :D

@Whams, just joking about Bowie, guys like him(legends) always get the benefit of the doubt, you don't laugh them off if they have weak material (my personal exception being McCartney.)
Yah, that girl in AS is the shit for reals. I don't care what she looks like either, just listen to that voice! Them scrunchy faced singers are the best.
Gotta say I don't like Hold On. Just sounds like a half written song to me. Meh, to each their own y'know?
@pushy, they only showed a little bit of Eva at the end, still made me tear up a little. As powerfully gifted her voice was, she understood nuance, understood the concept of less is more. She was fantastic.

Cool vid.
And call me David if things go South with Iman. Cuz in the real world, people who are with Goddess Glamazons often pick Circus Dwarves next.

Wow, You got to see her. I just feel her music
and wonder what could have been. Depending on my mood, her music can still make me cry. She was a beautiful soul.

That Bowie, what a has been. That's right I said it! *knocks people down running out the room to avoid Whamo* :D
Hey Whams, old buddy old pal old friend o mine. Probably being a pest about this by now, but there's a pbs special about a legendary rock club in DC called the Bayou
===============================================
LOL, it's all good. I'll agree he best work is behind him but his catalogue is stacked with some amazing music so WTH. I dont expect a 66 year old dude to have the same hunger and drive he once did.
I'll def keep and eye for the PBS special, I love shit like that.
Did you see I mentioned that yes I saw the Alabama Shakers the other day and looked them up. Cool band, that chick is a singers singer, she don't give a shit what her face looks like while she sings as you shouldn't you can see the music go right through her and that honesty is what people notice, especially when you're not smokin hot! I love their tune Hold On ! hoooooooooooooooooold on!

This is a GREAT tune, this chick just cranks it
Tilda, Bowie, androgynous nipples, beautiful protractor people and ice blue eyeliner are the only things your eyes need today.-MK
Yes.

The video is great! That's some American Horror Story shit. But I haven't liked a Bowie song since "I'm Afraid of Americans." I think artists tend to peak and then fade. Bowie's had an amazingly long career, so good for him.
made with the help of a protractor -- MK
genius as always

Hey Whams, old buddy old pal old friend o mine. Probably being a pest about this by now, but there's a pbs special about a legendary rock club in DC called the Bayou. Over the years many famous artists played there on their way to stardom, some even recorded live music there. Springsteen used to drop in sometimes and jam if he were in town.
It finally closed due to gentrification and competition from the 9:30 club across town, a club that supported the early punk wave.
I used to go there sometimes, not as much as I should have. And pushy, I was at the tribute they had for Eva Cassidy, her last performance before she died. She sang two songs, one with Chuck Brown(RIP) and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I swear pushy, not a dry eye in the house.
It's pretty good if you can find it, lots of notable names and bands.

I don't understand why we have to have opening credits for a music video. No one cares who the director is and shit.
I agree and disagree, because this one is Floria Sigismondi and *I* do care about her work.
reminds me of the Eurythmics video of "Beethoven (I Love to Listen To)" where Annie Lennox plays a frustrated housewife who has a spectacular breakdown and then continues into the "I Need a Man" video....Tilda reminds me of Annie and they're both from Scotland
Pushy me too

Not wild about the tune but still it is DB.
Think maybe the lyrics are about being a celebrity and the pitfalls? Who knows.
Did think I caught Brad/Angelina in the lyrics.

All these years and that's the best song he could come up with?
ahahaha @ your avie!! I hear she left her husband for that thing.
on topic: Bowie has done so many amazing songs/albums that the well is kinda dry now. Sorry David I luvs ya but it's the troof.
All these years and that's the best song he could come up with? I do like the video, though..it's very trippy.
I love the modern day Annie Lennox. Cool video...
...
I lost count of how many Bowies I saw in that video.
Even better than that French commercial,, by the way.
Anyway, this is the only thing that lighted up my awakening in this fucked up country.

Love the video! Song is ok but I never really like any of his new stuff *REPORTED TO BOWIE POLICE*
===========================================
WHAT!!! how DARE you! :P Personally I thought Heathen was one of his best albums since Scary Monster but he has had some weak ones for sure.
Hey you can't hit em all out of the park I guess.
I hope Bowie's new release crushes Timerdouche's comeback. This video is more interesting than that jerk even with the sound off.
Iman better keep an eye on that Tilda because she is known to have open relationships...

Tilda ia IT y'all. A true artist and damn good. Bowie, I like sometimes but not always, this, for me is meh. The video is better than the song. The only thing missing was the angular real life Mrs. Bowie, Iman
I do like the chick in the red with the Bowie's dilated eye very Berlin Bowie
The song is very Meh...but it's Bowie so what the hell. Where Are We Now was way better than this tune, I find it odd they'd use this tune as the second single, it doesn't really have a melodic hook of any kind.
I've always found the idea of video's sort of silly, this is very WTF but arty just the same.
I feel vaguely alarmed after watching this video.
The blonde model is pretty flat chested but I'd still lick her genitalia.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Jesus loves you" - Great thing to hear in a Church but horrific to hear in a Mexican prison
Watched it without audio. I liked it.
Bowie is god.
Tilda is a goddess.
The other two were beautiful.
The video scared me something awful. I was getting "Requiem For a Dream" flashbacks.
I didn't care for the song, but I did love his sad song about Berlin and was JUST thinking about it before I sat down at the computer.
So all in all, it was better than watching Courtney Stodden or some animal doing some human thing.
ETA: His voice is just as magnificent as ever. I could listen to him talk all day, too.
I think I am going to have nightmares.
I can't tell if this is one of those videos where things don't make any sense and you're supposed to feel too stupid to understand it, or if I'm actually too slow to understand it.
Either way, Tilda looks good with the platinum hair. David is right on the verge of straight-up geriatric, but I love the lilt in his voice.

God, I love that man. But I'm not digging this album at all. I mean... At all. No good.
Everybody in this is so damn angular. It's like they were made with the help of a protractor.
