…is just to love…
You will undoubtedly recall that the Moulin Rouge soundtrack includes two versions of Nature Boy; one featuring David with Massive Attack, and the other (the opening track on the album) by David alone (see 04/16/01 NEWS: FINAL TRACK LIST FOR MOULIN ROUGE SOUNDTRACK).
As a follow up to yesterday’s post of David’s version of Nature Boy with Massive Attack, we are happy to present a clip from the version David does solo – enjoy!

Another clue that foxed nobody, but a great illustration from Electric Blue nonetheless. The answer we were looking for was ‘Law (Earthlings On Fire)’, with the line: “A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun”. This time it’s lunamagic@davidbowie.com that TRS has selected to choose an item from the vault. If you could send your real-world name and address to me at: MrTotalBlamBlam@AOL.Com with your choice from the vault Luna, Nanny Susans will sort you out, so to speak.
Any new lyric competitions are on hold right now as we have other comps to take their place for the moment, but if you have sent in a picture that hasn’t been used yet, don’t despair as we will be running these competitions again soon.
*OK – I Know it’s not Monday, but yesterday was a public holiday so it doesn’t count apparently.
Holly Palmer will be appearing tonight at The Living Room in the East Village (okay, technically the Lower East Side). She’ll be playing with Robin and master trumpet player, Cuong Vu (Cuong joined David in the studio recently for some work on Toy – 03/26/01 NEWS: VIDEO FROM THE RECORDING STUDIO)
The Living Room is located at 84 Stanton Street (at the corner of Stanton and Allen streets – Allen Street is like an extension of 1st Avenue, and Stanton is one block south of Houston). Her set begins at 10PM sharp! Call (212)533-7235 for more info!
Come one, come all!
First! First! First! First!
Erm….sorry, but we can jump up and down a little about stuff we’re excited about, can’t we? The case in point: we are delighted to present you with a little snippet of David’s recent collaboration with Massive Attack on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack! As Total Blam Blam mentioned over a month ago, (03/07/01 NEWS: DB/MASSIVE JOIN FORCES), Massive and David first met when they found themselves working on the same Festival in Israel in the nineties.
About the track, David has said: “Slinky and really mysterious, 3D has put together a riveting piece of work. I’m totally pleased with the end result.”

You must see the movie…
A final track-listing has emerged for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack from the forthcoming Baz Luhrmann movie of the same name. Scheduled for a May 8th release, it transpires that not only has Beck recorded a version of ‘Diamond Dogs’, but David has recorded two versions of ‘Nature Boy’ (including the version with Massive Attack’), and Ewan MacGregor’s version of ‘Heroes’ is part of the ‘Elephant Love Medley’ that he performs with Nicole Kidman. Here is the full track-listing:
01. Nature Boy – David Bowie

03. Because We Can – Fatboy Slim
04. Sparkling Diamonds – Nicole Kidman

Moulin Rouge will open the Cannes Film Festival the day after the CD’s release, and according to Luhrmann test audiences’ reaction to the soundtrack has pleased nervous studio executives at Fox: “Their big fear is that audiences will be turned off by the music, but the big surprise is the music is what test audiences have been responding to.” Click on the image above to take you to the splendid official Moulin Rouge site which also has some awesome loops playing…and who knows where they were sampled from?

Back into the funhouse…
I’m sure you remember our post from last week ( 04/10/01 NEWS: MARK PLATI AT MUSICIAN.COM NOW ), well today is your last chance to ask Mark Plati just exactly how the vocal treatment on ‘Something In The Air’ was achieved, or anything else musicianly you can think of. The funky guitar wizard has been answering questions about his favoured gadgets, production techniques and more all week…so nip over to Musician.com pronto with your very own probing enquiry.
While we are on the subject of the man who was born with a bandanna instead of hair, check out the latest postings over at MarkPlati.com for more superb pictures like the one above. There are a whole load more of David and the boys working their magic at Looking Glass during the last few weeks, and very good they are too.
