Db Back On The Mbs …with A Vengeance

I can still hear some pop… popular musics, and aftershocks…

As regular visitors to the BowieNet message boards will already know, David returned to the Bowie forum yesterday in a flurry of activity which resulted in sixteen postings from him and more general activity from the members than we’ve seen for the past 200 years!

Primarily he was recommending Funeral by The Arcade Fire (above right) while reconfirming his love for Secret Machines (above left) who he also enthused about in his last journal entry.

Here’s one of Sailor’s entries from yesterday regarding The Arcade Fire:

THERE’S NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.

‘THE ARCADE FIRE’ HAVE THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

You must, simply must, buy it now, today, pronto. Quite the most beautiful, moving and passionate piece of brilliant song-writing and quirky performance I’ve heard in YONKS !!!

It’s called ‘FUNERAL’ (Merge Records) and nothing else (and yes, I’ve heard the new U2) comes close.

(Well, maybe ‘Secret Machines’ and their CD ‘Now Here Is Nowhere)

OK, OK, . .. I’m doing my diary about them both and some others, a sort of year end round up.
