Month: April 2000

Due out this coming June, an exciting mix of DB’s new single ‘Seven‘ by the ever-popular ever-bizarre, Beck! Here is a press clipping about the mix from Platform.net.

Beck, the vanilla-dipped soul brotha, is apparently looking to expand his resume credentials: he’s recently racked up some new remixing credits. Beck applied his golden touch to David Bowie’s new single “Seven,” from Bowie’s Hours CD. The single will hit stores this June.

Genre-splicing troubadour Beck has remixed the new David Bowie single ‘Seven’.

The track will be the third to be taken from Bowie’s current album ‘hours’ and will be released in June.

It will coincide with Bowie’s headlining appearance at Glastonbury at the end of that month. Beck is scheduled to appear at the Reading/Leeds festival in August.

LEATHER BOA (with Tony Visconti and others) performs at 12:30pm at the “HEROES” tribute to T. REX! The event tonight takes place at MOTHER, which is at 432 West 14th Street.

thanks tony!

About 95% of you got the idea this time, the answer I was looking for was of course: “Not this psycho-time-bomb planet” from the song Tin Machine. As I’m sure you all know, the song is the title track on the band’s eponymous debut album, and it was co-written by all four members of this unfortunately democratic collection of musicians. As far as I am aware this was the only possible answer, but if you know differently then another copy of the CD will be on its way to the first person who tells me so. ‘Psychodelicate’ from ‘Because You’re Young’ does not count, because it isn’t the word psycho! Go here for the first five correct entries in order of arrival.

Well all you have to do is mail me at MrTotalBlamBlam@AOL.com with the title of a song written, or co-written, by David that includes the word ‘AMERICAN‘…No hang on…that’s far too easy…erm…make that a song written, or co-written, by David that includes the word ‘PSYCHO‘. So that’s the title of the song and the line that contains the word ‘PSYCHO‘ to me NOW. Don’t hesitate, do it now, remember the first five win.

For those of you checking in for tonight’s ‘American Psycho‘ competition – you’re too early! Come back at 6:00pm EST (11:00pm GMT). – If you are bored and in the UK while you’re waiting tonight, then why not pop round to mine and watch ‘Airport‘ with me. Get here before 8:00pm and we’ll tune in to BBC1 to watch the popular fly-on-the-wall from Heathrow Airport. Here’s what the BEEB say about it:

“Docusoap which goes behind the scenes at Heathrow Airport. Resident press officers Steve Meller and Russell Clisby rub shoulders with Kate Winslet and David Bowie. Paramedics Paul Schofield and Gerard Robinson are called to a truck driver who has had an unusual accident with a passing plane.”

Go to the BBC
