High Bleak tolerance is good  - whenever I get down I like listening to the Smiths!!

This is worth a watch, Niles Rodgers telling the story of Let's Dance. Nothing too exciting but it's always interesting to learn how a classic tune came about, at least in part. 
 

yes interesting - I've seen him tell a bit of this story before somewhere or other, but this was good - cheers
 

Listened to both of Bowie's last albums Thursday (before my PC died for a couple of days).  Both were very entertaining in their own ways and will be listened to again!  Neither had that feeling of a guy trying push out ONE MORE ALBUM like too many artists seem to do late in their careers.

Here's an interesting peek of what Bowie was listening to in 2010. Some great stuff on here.

This is one of my favorite Bowie tracks, his version of Wild Is The Wind. His voice is just perfect on this. Apparently it was his favorite song to perform.

Wild is the wind is one of the songs that very clearly brings out Bowies speciality and his interest in Jacques Brel and the likes. To sing a song like... no...to perform a musical piece like this it's not enough to be a singer, you need to be an actor as well.
