Ha ha. I have to say I had a look yesterday to see "whatever happened to".

She's in a terrible band called racine* and has gone down the huge amounts of surgery clinging on to youth look like a freak of nature route.


Watch at your peril, it's perfectly SFW it's just terrible.

Nice version. Actually possibly nicer than the original.

I've a love hate thing with bowie. Love some stuff, hate other stuff.

This album encapsulated it with some quality but some seriously sub-prog bad quality rawk in there too.

Might have to give it another listen now, just to remind myself like ;)

Well, say what you will about Bowie (and you don't want to be stuck on an 8 hour flight next to me on the subject) but the album which spawned this song is the least representative of anything he has ever done, coming as it did before any kind of fame beckoned. Apart from the Title track and one other, both of which he had already written, the rest of the album was very last minute with all of the proggy/guitar solo stuff being produced by Mick Ronson and Tony Visconti whicle Bowie canoodled with his missus in the corner



I never listen to the album itself


Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Young Americans, StationToStation, Low, Scary Monsters, 1.Outside and Heathen would be the touchstones for me

To echo your comment about Andrew Eldrich, I have a friend who's into his wrawk, who spent many years in the states trying to get his career going.

As he said, some things can only be in America, you can write a song about driving your Chevy down route 66, it doesn't work when you're driving your Passat to Biggleswade.


Equally country couldn't emanate from the CPT, no matter how much better pub culture here is to insalubrious mid-west bars.

Went to the Latitude Festival at the weekend. Personal favourites were Seasick Steve and Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip (they both, I think, have myspace pages).


Mockney - saw your BSP post earlier; "Carrion" on Later is superb. As a fan you've probably seen it but here it is:-


(sorry - can't do the clever link stuff)

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
