10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About… David Bowie
Perhaps one of the most influential, interesting, iconic and talented people ever to hit the stage and screen, David Bowie was not only our childhood hero through the cult film Labyrinth, but also someone we have known and loved our entire lives for his simply genius music.
Always on the hunt for a good bit of tasty knowledge to sink our teeth into, we thought we would do some digging and pop together some cool facts we've recently learned about the legend himself. Sit back and enjoy our 10 Things You Didn't Know About David Bowie...
> His eyes are actually the same colour - Perhaps hard to believe we know, his eyes are the same colour, however after a fight as a kid his left eye was left permanently dilated which gives it the appearance of being darker.
> As impressive at it is, Bowie was in a total of 10 bands; The Hype, Tao Jones Index, Tin Machine, The Buzz, The Riot Squad, The King Bees, The Lower Third, The Manish Boys, The Konrads and The Hooker Brothers.
> He released the first downloadable single from a major artist - Back in 1996, Bowie released his single 'Telling Lies' on his website. Given the dial-up speeds back then this might have taken around 11 minutes to complete. How did we have the patience back then?? Well worth the wait though huh.
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 180
Stop the press! Another weekend is upon us which can only mean one thing! Time for another classic TruffleShuffle retro movie rundown!
With our telescope and binoculars all cleaned up, focused and at the ready, we find ourselves scanning the skies once again in search of some of the biggest and loudest jumbo jets in the sky! Like finding the perfect film for a night in, we'll sit down comfortably and let the excitement build as we follow the mighty aircraft across the sky and let our minds wonder as to where it might be going like all good stories should.
Have a happy retro weekend!
