but one of the great other roxy-associated acts, david bowie, is back. here is the video to his new song, "where are we now?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOyDTy9DtHQ what do you think about it? i think it´s a grower and would never have had expected it to happen after his heart attack in 2004. and even a new album to follow in march. |

Steve, I, too, am thrilled and delighted that Bowie is back. I thought he would never release another album after his heart attack in 2004 but it just shows that great artists like Bowie and Ferry, who provided a soundtrack to my teenage years, can't keep away from the recording studio. Wonderful to have them both releasing an album in the same year - the last was 2002 (Frantic and Heathen). Though I am assuming that Bryan does release his album of original material some time in 2013. I have always wondered what the relationship between the two men are, though there is a great photograph of the two of them chatting just after Ferry has gone offstage in New York during Roxy's Manifesto tour in 1979. |

David Bowie is one of my all time favourites – a master. A quick note though about his public utterances on BF/RM.... He has been very positive about both Roxy and BF many times, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS4jBB-KMdE He evangelised Roxy early on, and then again in 2000 reunion . he's cited BF as one of the greatest writers and lyricists (which the BF PR machine now quotes in their releases). |

I caught the news report after the beginning and thought he must have died and it was an obit - rather surprised at so much attention for the release of a single. Still the BBC report included a clip of Phil Manzanera reminiscing about performing on stage together at Bowie's last live performance. |

I can only echo BlankFrank's surprise that it merited inclusion in the day's main BBC TV news bulletin; it must have been a very slow news day!  Nice to see Phil there, though; there was a brief clip of him playing (before his brief interview) and his face wasn't visible, so Mrs Smudge thought it particularly sad that I recognised him instantly! Apparently I should be out there looking for something called "a life"...

Where Are We Now is getting USA commercial airplay. I'm listening to it now on WRSI out of Northampton, Mass. And they played it last night when I was listening... |

This album is bloody marvellous. I'm so pleased that Dave boy is still delivering the goods. Raise your glass eye/high David! |
