MURRAY HEAD - ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back.... From the 1985 musical "Chess" comes this one and only hit from "Murray Head".
The music from 'Chess" was composed by former ABBA singers Benny & Bjorn.
Thailand's Mass Communications Organization banned One Night in Bangkok, saying its lyrics "cause misunderstanding about Thai society and show disrespect towards Buddhism.

Love listening to this song on a good set of headphones, sounds magic.

DAVID BOWIE - NEW ALBUM

Hello and welcome back.... David Bowie fans rejoice, found this in my local news.....(Thanks to News.com.au)

David Bowie returns with first album in decade, The Next Day, to be released in March

VETERAN music star David Bowie has broken years of silence and speculation to release his first single and album in a decade.

The glam-rock singer, who shot to fame in the late `60s with Space Oddity, has released the recording Where Are We Now? on iTunes to coincide with his 66th birthday.
A follow-up album called The Next Day is set to be released in March.
Bowie has not performed live since 2006 and has rarely been seen in public since then, leading to rumours of possible ill-health which were denied by his spokesman.
Once known for his flamboyance, the star turned down the opportunity to appear at the Olympics Opening Ceremony last year despite a personal plea by director Danny Boyle.
A spokesman said: "Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130 million not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration and social commentary.
"It goes without saying that he has sold out stadiums and broken ticket records throughout the world during this most influential of careers."
He added that Bowie was the sort of artist who "writes and performs what he wants when he wants".

David Bowie performing in West London back in 2002. The iconic singer is about to release a new record.

Produced by long term collaborator Tony Visconti, Where Are We Now? was written by Bowie and was recorded in New York, where he was last reported to be living with his wife and daughter.
The single is accompanied by a video directed by Tony Oursler which harks back to Bowie's time in Berlin, with his face projected onto the body of a puppet.
