I remember there being a flyer (not quite the right term for what it was, but close enough) in my Ziggy CD. Pretty cool seeing as it was at that post-Napster period when musicians tended to scream when they heard the word “internet”.

The great part isn’t the internet - it’s the email. Can you imagine being yourname@BowieNet.com?
