    David Bowie singing Comfortably Numb

    Am I in heaven? One of my favourite artists singing one of my favourite songs by another of my favourite artists.

    Has anyone else heard this?

    I'm not sure that I'm ready for this kind of a change yet.

    I've not heard it, but heard about it http://www.nme.com/news/david-bowie/23186

    But now you've gone and made me look for it on YouTube http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hxHYmBlMV8U wished I hadn't bothered though there must be a better version kicking around than this. Mobile phones with crappy little cameras should be banned IMO.

    Actually, Bowie woulda made a nice Pink in the Wall movie. But that's gonna be wierd for me...we'll see. But as far as the Sid Barret stuff, I think I'd like to hear a Bowie spin on some of that stuff.

    I'm sure you've seen it before, but in case you haven't...
    The youtube clip of Bowie singing "Wake Up" with The Arcade Fire is chock-full of awesome.

    I'd linkify, but it's just so darn look-upable.

    Oh yea forgot, Comfortably Numb, have to be comfortably baked to listen to that old radio ga ga again. Oh sorry, did I say that out loud?

    Being a big fan of both Bowie and Pink Floyd (in all variations) it's strange that I never thought of the two crossing paths until now. Sometimes when you have two giants like these you never really think of them joining to form one mega-giant entity. Should be interesting...just like everything that Bowie gets involved with, even the stuff that isn't so great.
