I discovered a star...
Don't forget to tune in to Virgin Radio in the UK and online, tomorrow (Sunday) at 6.00PM UK time.
David will once again be the guest of Ben Jones for Superstars, the show in which movie, music and TV superstars play their favourite tracks.

I think about personal history...
An interview David gave last year on public radio is now streaming at Fresh Air Online.
You'll remember that although this interview was broadcast, it wasn't streamed at the time. It seems that the station have revamped the interview with some of the new tracks from Reality and used it again.
If you missed this last year, Terry Gross asks some interesting questions, and David talks at length about his teenage years among lots of other topics.

All the pages that have turned...
A new phone interview with David by The Dallas Morning News has been posted online at Fox11.com. Here are a couple of extracts:
Mr. Bowie sees strong continuity in his songs "over the last 30 or 40 years. ... I think the isolationism, for instance, reflected in 'Space Oddity' in 1969 is not that much different from 'The Loneliest Guy' on the new album," he says.
"As a writer, I seem to be left with the same big three or four questions in my basket of subject matter. I'll never answer them, of course, but I'll keep approaching them from a different point of view probably until the day that I die."

Killing time in the '70s...
This week's NME, is well worth the cover price for the free CD 'Hanging with the Strokes'. Among other great tracks are the original versions of The Modern Lovers' Pablo Picasso, and The Velvet Underground's I'm Waitin' For The Man.
Look inside the magazine and you will see a pull out spread of large glossy photographs, one of which is a famous Mick Rock shot of David (albeit reversed).
The photographs are published as part of NME's readers poll to 'Build Your Own Supergroup'. This week, you can vote online for your favourite singer. They say:
'Ziggy played guitar', went the legend, but sod that, what better frontman could you want than a crimson-haired starman with freaky eyes, a voice like a throttled angel and a complete disregard of the age-old stage adage 'never work with children or Martian spiders'?
