At this point, I'm just at a loss for words when it comes to
Bowie.
The Next Day's promotional cycle has been completely flawless. There's a steady output of vinyl releases and every music video has been a spectacle. On November 4,
The Next Day Extra will be released, an expanded three disc set featuring the original album, a ten track bonus CD with new material, and a DVD containing all of
Bowie's Next Day videos. However, one video that won't be included on the DVD is the new clip for
James Murphy's "
Love Is Lost" remix.
Featuring super creepy
Scary Monster and
Thin White Duke puppets from the archives, the video was apparently created on a total budget of $12.99, with all of the funds going towards a thumb drive. It was shot by a three person crew consisting of
Jimmy King,
Coco Schwab, and
Bowie himself. The entire production was conceived and finished in about a week at his Manhattan office. Brilliant.
