      Not quite "fresh" news, but it doesn't seem to have been mentioned here: David Bowie is releasing a new album in January called Blackstar and it is said to be his most bizarre album yet (and for those of you who have sampled his career, that's quite a statement). It is worth mentioning, however, that his post-comeback career has been very successful on the marketing front and I think it would be wise of Paul's people to take note. The opening and title track of the album was dropped a few weeks ago by way of a stunning, surreal 10-minute music video/short film that managed to get over two million views within three days and now has more than double that. Needless to say, this is impressive for an entertainer his age to achieve on his own... For those curious, here's the link (be warned - you've never seen anything like it):

        Bowie was an internet pioneer, launching Bowienet in the late 90's. He was far ahead of the pack on that front, so it's hardly surprising he'll use the web to promote Blackstar.

            Don't expect anything like classic Bowie of the 70's. I think he's pushing sound structure more these days. Experimenting.
