Emergency Bowie Farewell: Feeling Gloomy Says Goodbye To David Bowie

If you've ever been to a Feeling Gloomy party here in NYC, you'd know that we approach the depressing bits of life with as much glibness as we possibly can. We try to take the sad things and make them fun, to join together in celebrating how rotten life can be, but at least we're all in it together, right?

Well, we've come to something that is actually deeply sad, the passing of one of our idols, and we couldn't just let that slide. With the announcement of David Bowie's passing this morning, we decided to postpone our theme for this month til February and turn this week into a tribute to one of our favorite musicians of all time.

We haven't done much in the way of preparation for this, but we have done a couple of raucous Bowie-themed parties, and we pretended he was coming to one of them and inadvertantly tricked some internet robots at Bandsintown (and inadvertently the general populace). Suffice it to say:

THERE WILL BE LOVE
THERE WILL BE SADNESS
THERE WILL BE CATHARSIS

and there will be two Brothers Gloom playing every acceptable Bowie dance song and more than a few unacceptable ones. We might even play that song from Cool World. Oh, and we'll throw in some Iggy with the Ziggy and some Lou and a host of the songs you expect to hear at a Feeling Gloomy, sprinkled in among the David Bowie songs.

Dress to depress.
