Sorry, I missed you old journal entry about my vid.
Yeah, server died. I have an alternative source that I can email you but at the moment the names are being changed. If you're still interested in seeing the vid, I'll get the link to you.
The hits rush has subsided now that I've lost the fulltime hosting. I'll try my best to get it properly hosted again but I is poor :/ -

Time for a music rant.
David Bowie's latest album "heathen" is good and guess what the critics are saying:
Return to form... finally something in the last 20 years that isn't an embarrasment... etc etc
Am I the only one who can see that Bowie's post-92 work is actually good? Embarrassing? I think not. Eclectic and a little ahead of their time - more than likely.
Sure this new album has a lot of affinities with his late 70's work, and his voice is sounding as good as ever but to dismiss his expreimental work in the 90's just because it doesn't fit into the image of Bowie that people like to think of it criminal. There's some very good stuff in those albums, if people can be bothered to look for it. Heck, he was making better Drum and Bass than most the musicians half his age, amongst other things.
I like "heathen" and there are certainly a few songs which I'm seriously enjoying, having listened to it a couple of times, but if this album is going to make people disregard his 90's work then that's a real shame. It's a progression and it seems a large amount of music journalists have missed that, somehow equating references to his ziggy-era music in his new album to being apologies for his 90's work. What a load of rubbish.
People may well prefer Bowie to still be donning the high heels and "Jammin'good with Weird and Gilly" so to speak, like so many other 70's acts do... but I personally love the fact that he is a man with some real talent who doesn't have to rely on his previous glories to make great music.
And there's not many 50+ year olds you can say THAT about. -

EK: thats some sweet music you got there, thank you!! Oh, you know you were looking for a song for the bebop movie? How's about this for an opening verse:
Panic in Detroit by David Bowie:
"He looked a lot like che guevara
Drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion.
Such a humble man
The only survivor
Of the national people's gang."
:D
The song's completely inappropriate for bebop but hearing that I couldn't help think of Vincent ^_^;;; -

I got the new David Bowie album today.. with bonus remixes by Moby ^__________^
I also got the WORST album in the world ever, but it was only 50p and I'm a sucker for punishment:
The Rockridge Synthesizer Orchestra plays David Bowie and the Bee Gees.
how WRONG is that.
It's awful... truly horrid... but it was 50 pence worth of comedy, but really it wasn't worth any more.
Heheheh, synthesiser Jive Talkin' on the same album as synth Jean Genie.... ><
Well, at least I've got the new Bowie album to recover from that atrocity. Oh and I picked up ANOTHER copy of Kind of Blue... that;s the 3rd copy I've had to buy now as my others keep going AWOL.
It was cheap though ^_^
