Does that mean you're putting it back, then?

Liked the song but mostly I like the idea of having Bowie back!
Is it going to be released on cd?

Good afternoon. Well this is a nice surprise. Good old Bowie drops a single and the world is all aflutter. And why not? - it's bloody Bowie!

To be fair on first listen the music is a bit bland, but a few more listens reveal a bit more interest. None of that matters though, Bowie's voice still sends shivers down the spine, even if he sounds rather old and a little fragile now. Rather touching, really. A dignified, reflective return.

What I really like about all this Bowie buzz is that all the press were taken by surprise. They found out pretty much at the same time as us. They've therefore had to do their research and catch up. Some papers more successfully than others. I've seen incorrect 'facts' and people in photos credited simply "Bowie and friend".

Anyway, here's a decent article: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/david-bowie-is-back--but-where-has-he-been-8443068.html

I've heard it a few times seeing as it made headlines today. It's ok, though I wouldn't run round and grab my neighbour by the lapels and shriek "You must hear this!!" in his face.

Perhaps the slow-burn aspect of it is deliberate to match the no-publicity thing (that has resulted in quite a lot of publicity today at least!).

Actually, the thing it reminded me of more than anything was that "Free as a Bird" song that was cobbled together by the remaining 3 Fabs and Jeff Lynne around all the Anthology hoo-ha - like it's a ghost of a song from the ether.

I did espy the snatch of the vid where his face was imposed on a ...thing... and, I must confess, before I knew what the news item was about I was wondering "Why is Queen Liz II's" face on this odd thing?

Maybe, given his age (not that old reeeally by todays standards) and the health scares of recent times, this is the latest in a long line of guises and styles - like a Howard Hughes of rock gradually releasing stuff into the world?
