Just heard that 'new' Bowie song on the wireless ....

I think it's pretty good, even if it does use the same melody as Bowie's 'silly little fat man' song in Extras...

It has a melody?

When I were a lad songs had proper melodies, and a beat, and non of this 'can't tell if it's a man or woman singing' neeevar.

I like it a lot. It's world-weary and there's a whole lot going on in between the lines. I like songs with enough space in them to be interpretable. Not everything is filled up with skittery beats, bleeps and incomprensible lyrics (although there are times when all of those are great too...).

That's a perfect description of my thought processes

Maybe if Seu Jorge did a Portuguese version it'd be better...
