Title: Today the world became a little less wonderous. RIP David Bowie

I thought I'd drop a little post on here about this.

David Bowie always had a special connection with the wonderous and the science fiction genre. From his music through to his acting, he will be missed. Here is a short article I found about him and science fiction.

He only had his new album released a couple of days ago 'Blackstar'. I recommend checking it out, it is quite Blues/Jazzy with that special 'Bowie' touch.

RIP. May he live on through his music !
