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)

      Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.

      Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...

      Uncomfortable high frequency noise on CP Road

      By AmazingDancingBear · Posted

      Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.
