The apocalypse, as predicted throughout much of art and literature, is to be an extravagant event: the ultimate destruction of an inherently flawed planet, a bombastic pageant of thunder and hellfire, the huddling populace its unwilling centerpiece. David Bowie, while recording his fifth studio album during a tumultuous era not dissimilar to our own, surely recognized this, as the late rock icon’s vision of the end times arrived sprinkled with glitter and wound in spandex.

The late Starman’s major achievement in exemplary art pop, as only he could produce it, David Bowie’s piano-centered orchestral fourth studio album was, in many ways, his first true “Bowie” release. Eschewing many of the hard rock and bluesy tactics employed on The Man Who Sold the World, 1971’s Hunky Dory offered the public a glimpse of David Bowie, not as he had been over the past few years, but as what he was soon to become.

Last week’s Songs of the Week was sparse, with only a Top 8 (and two of those songs were from the same artist), probably due to it building up a three-day weekend.

Whether or not Lady Gaga was the perfect performer to lead the Grammys’ tribute to the late David Bowie last night is up for debate.
