“I chose ‘It’s No Game (Pt. 1)’ because it has a part 2 on the record, and I figured maybe Bowie wouldn’t mind so much if I made a part 3,”St. Vincent stated this in a statement. “I wanted to take Bowie’s throat-shredding vocal take from part 1, and make it front and center. ‘Three steps to heavaaaaaaaaaaaahn…’”
Bowie’s arrived. 👨🎤

“To me, I connect with Bowie as an amazing innovator,” added Tokimonsta’s Jennifer Lee. “He was always reinventing himself and pushing the envelope of music, while somehow never ceasing to be authentically himself. His experimental fashion choices are always a beacon for me to challenge my style and look.”
In December, the stock price of the exercise bike company plummeted following the release of theSex and the Citysequel seriesIt’s as simple as that. On the show’s first episode Mr. Big, the character played by Chris Noth and the husband of Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, suffered a heart attack and died after riding on his Peloton.
Peloton knew that their stationary bicycle would be used.And Just Like That… in some capacity — while HBO procured their own bike, real-life Peloton instructor Jess King appears on the show as “Allegra” — but they were not made aware of its role in Big’s demise until after the episode premiered “due to confidentiality reasons.”
After responding to the episode, the company produced an ad featuring Noth and narrated Ryan Reynolds. However, it was pulled after Noth made allegations of sexual misconduct.
