165. Bowie Banc

" This will positively change your perspective of banking and the internet...forever!  You are one click away from zeroTIME banking. "
Face on a card
" And everything you do at BowieBanc has David's digital look and feel; a totally Bowie User Interface (BUI). "

Not available to the World outside the US, unless you're an American or have a tax ID.  When I phoned to enquire about this banking nonsense, a bright tosser made me repeat 4 times my question.  I've admired Mr Bowie since 1990, up until the stock market accolade.

Fine P.R. recipes to claim back the headlines.  That episode made him the richest man in pop music.  I thought rock, like punk music was a rejection of the material world.  Actually: Rock music is, punk isn't.  Punk makes money by any means necessary.
The elegant interface saturated by his pictures.
I've nothing to say about the design of the site but everything about the concept: a pile of shite.  Full marks for banking strategy, zilch for self-esteem.  It's like being the Queen of England with your head stuck on a paper note. NP
