Bowie: Performance With The Arcade Fire / New DVD


David Bowie
Some of you may have heard an unfamiliar live version of David Bowie's Five Years on The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday, which was rather intriguingly played with no announcement! (Listen Again = 2 hours 36 minutes)

Well, as the bat-eared among you may have spotted, it was actually the rather splendid version from Fashion Rocks with Arcade Fire.

The song is to be released as one of the tracks on an audio only digital EP that will be made available in the next couple of weeks, the other tracks being Wake Up with Arcade Fire and David's performance of Life On Mars? with Mike Garson from the same performance.

We'll have more details of where you can purchase the tracks and the definite release date shortly.

Congratulations are due to Arcade Fire for getting the #1 album of 2005 in the UNCUT top 100 with Funeral. Funny, it was David Bowie's album of the year in 2004 too!

New DVD

Due on March 13th 2006, Serious Moonlight is the official film of the 1983 tour recorded at Pacific National Exhibition Coliseum, Vancouver, Cananda, in September 1983, captured brilliantly by director David Mallet.
