Here he is on Extras, providing a little impromptu song:
What an honor, to be dissed by Bowie in song, and a song that rather sounds like some of his really old stuff.
You know, it'd be really cool if Bowie were to record this tune. Speaking of which, it's been three years since his last album. Yes, I know that he suffered a small MI and had to undergo angioplasty, but that was a couple of years ago. He's due to get back in the studio.
Come on, David, we want new material!

Hawkwind, "Masters of the Universe": Great bit from the early days of psychadelic/progressive rock. I've got recordings of both the live and the studio versions, and I vastly prefer the studio.
Peter Gabriel, "The Family and the Fishing Net": This is
just a magnificent piece of music. I love pretty…
Sonic Youth, "Or": Very smooth for SY. But great. They're an amazing band.
The Flower Kings, "Blue Planet": A typical track from one of my favorite neo-progressive
rock bands. For the Flower Kings, this is a short one at only 10 minutes.
The Clogs, "Lantern": once again, one of my favorite…
It's friday again, so it's time for a random ten. So out comes my iPod, and the results are:
1. **Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, "Latitude"**: mediocre tune off of the latest Flecktones album. This album was a 3-CD set. Unfortunately, it really should have been a single CD; they just didn't bother…
I rarely do these blog memes, but I saw this one at Noonan's place and thought it would be amusing. You take the top 100 songs from the year you graduated high school (1985 for me) and pick out the ones that wouldn't make you instantly change the radio station if they came on. Here's the list:

What a lovely coincidence; I just watched that episode this morning. And I second the call for new Bowie music...
That was awesome.
Just brilliant Linda. He's banal and facile, a fat waste of space....
Are there new episodes airing for Extras now?
Now doesn't Bowie look strange with his teeth straightened? Something less angular about his face too....Harley Street?
If you liked this episode then the next one (aired Thurs night over here) you will love. My favourite 'Extras' episode by far. I never knew Daniel Radcliffe could be so funny.
I mist how Bowie was prior to Ashes to Ashes (Scary Monsters and Super Creeps). His early stuff is simply *%$&ing amazing, and this is from someone to wasn't around when he was at his height.
Come back to us Ziggy!!!
Another rabid Bowie fan here! I agree, we need a new album. He looks healthy enough here...crack the whip! He's only my mom's age! Heh...I suppose we'll demand new music from his corpse someday.
Christian: Have you given Reality or Heathen a good listen? I agree they're not Ziggy, but I really like 'em, and there's echoes (if only echoes) of the old days in them.
And if you're nostalgic, I can't say enough about the three-disc "Bowie at the Beeb" set, including the "Limited Edition" (I think it's still common) 2000 performance disc. I gave one as a gift for another Bowie-fanatic friend and a couple weeks later he kissed me.
