David Bowie: "Dour-Faced Bowie" Article (1974)

David Bowie’s "Dour-Faced Bowie", a one-page article in New Musical Express, February 9, 1974.

THIS CANDID snaperoo shows dour-faced Bowie with equally unenthused Mike Garson during current sessions in Trident studios. Vile rumour has it that Bowie is finding the going difficult in the absence of Ronson-although two numbers, including one called "Big Brother," were reportedly completed on the first night of recording. Latest in mainman fashion has it that our lad is hanging out a lot with avant-garde novelist William Burroughs and taking French lessons. He'll shortly be going to New York to meet Mrs. B., who has been doing screen-tests in L.A., and hairdresser Freddie will take over their house in Cheyne Walk until they get back.
