Great Covers
Slight twist, in that the "covers" include the original recording artists. The original was on the 1977 album of the same name and written in collaboration between Bowie and Brian Eno. Fully recorded in Berlin over the summer with Tony Visconti on production duties. Inspired by the recording location, David released a German version. This has more gravitas. He did record a French version as well, but his pronounciation doesn't hold up as well. Key behind the sound is Robert Fripp's guitar. Still gigging with King Crimson, with Tony Levin - Bass (ex Peter Gabriel), Mel Collins - Sax & Keyboards (ex Camel, Dire Straits, Alan Parsons etc), Jakko Jakszyk - vocals (ex Level 42 and actor), and 3 drummers, Pat Mastelotto (ex Mr. Mister, The Rembrants), Gavin Harrison (ex Level 42, Paul Young) and Jeremy Stacey (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Robbie Williams). This live version was recorded in Berlin in 2016. Closer to home, here's Mr and Mrs Fripp in their kitchen in Dorset during lockdown, with the original Les Paul guitar. -

Best 5 years of your life
Before I came here 6 years ago I spent 5 years in a Cambodian NGO as a volunteer and a part time marketing manager for a local travel company, as well producing web site content in good English for many hotels. It was probably the most worthwhile and satisfying time so far. Now Thailand won't even let me do volunteer work with all the visa restrictions. It would make a huge difference to my life here. -

News Forum - Ukraine’s Zelensky defies Russia’s ultimatum to lay down weapons
From the article: Vladimir Khokhlov, spokesman for the Russian embassy in Bern, said such measures would amount to a radical change of policy for Switzerland. Moscow would "not be able to ignore" an eventual renunciation of neutrality, which would have consequences, Khokhlov said. He did not provide further details. You would think after Finland and Sweden, Russia would learn to keep its mouth shut. When they speak, they only make things worse. High level talks with NATO only makes sense and is pretty small potatoes. Russia should care less. Backfilling is more but not by much. Honestly it was kinda silly for them to object to Germany sendings it’s 35mm anti aircraft ammo to Ukraine. If they had such an issue with it being used, why did they sell it to Germany in the first place? If it was Germany needing to use it, would they still object? Of course it made the Brazilian’s happy so that’s something.- 1
