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:-

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      OK so we are having our annual conversation about getting aircon fitted, as our west-facing loft turns into an ACTUAL FURNACE whenever the temperature goes over 25 degrees. (It's 33 degrees in here now and that's with the blackout blinds closed all day.) We have Velux windows that are hinged in the middle so I think a portable unit is out of the question as it would be a nightmare with the vent. So maybe we just need to bite the bullet and get a proper unit installed. Has anyone had experience of doing this, particularly in a loft? Any things to watch out for/recommendations for installers, and would you be willing to say how much it cost (I'm seeing wildly varying prices quoted online)? I know it's a lot of money for only a few days a year but as the summers are getting hotter it's becoming more of an issue every year. Any advice appreciated!

      CasaCore on Northcross Rd, opening soon...

      By lilaccruiser · Posted

      Well we already have a top class gym with a reformer Pilates studio at Fitfor.  I don’t think they’ve found it easy over the years to make money. We could end up with none. There’s also Core just opened in Upland Rd doing massage therapy. All these places won’t be here in 12 months I’m afraid to say.

      Another impaled car on the Nutbrook Street Bollard

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Noticed the bollard (big bell shaped one) has again been torn up. Wonder how many times this has happened over the years and how much it's cost.
