I'm hoping that you'd be so kind as to give my 1st novel "Catch a Falling Star" some publicity on your website. Self-published on www.lulu.com, the novel is set in the early '80's, and tells the story of a Bowie-obsessed young man (me,basically)moving into a squalid inner-city share house with a bunch of musician friends, forming a band,and hoping to follow in my idol's footsteps.Without the publicity machine of a major publisher behind me, I am pretty much left to my own devices to drum up interest in the book. So far, sites like BowieNet,BowieWonderworld, and Bowie Down Under have been very helpful in promoting my book,and I hope that Cracked Actor can do the same. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Peter Haywood Hi,

Maybe some of their catalogue can be described that way, but the vast majority cannot. They must have Bowie and Roxy Music mixed up with Tubeway Army. I swear, music journalists are so stupid sometimes. Maybe Siouxsie Sioux really should kill a few of them. None would be missed.

Hey, and thanks for sticking me in your links, babe! I went to the VH-1 site, and is it just me or is it totally weird to have ABC listed as one of two "related artists?" "...ABC built upon the detached, synthesized R&B pop of David Bowie and Roxy Music, adding a self-conscious, campy sense of theatrics and style." What do you guys think about this? Very nice!
