Philip Glass on David #Bowie: 'He was a master unto himself'

Philip Glass on David #Bowie : 'He was a master unto himself' Interesting: Soon after its composition he began using the Heroes symphony for his walk-in music for some of his concerts. And, even more surprising, is that there’s a version around in which he superimposed his voice singing Heroes on to the symphonic recording. Somewhere in his archive there’s that recording – of David Bowie singing his own version of Heroes over my symphony. It would be amazing to find it. http://gu.com/p/4my4j?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B http://gu.com/p/4my4j?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B

Out for Birthday dinner with alison adams​ & Charlie Adams​.

Here's some photos for Father's Day 2016

Here's some photos for Father's Day 2016 Thinking of Dad today, much missed - so some nice photos of him. I got presents of a Star Trek Pizza slicer (how did I live without one of these?) and some Vader Socks from the boy (I am his Father). We had breakfast with Alison's parents and then Arthur headed off in Tessa (his vintage Triumph Vitesse) for a day of motoring. I've included a photo of a crime: Crocs with socks (Lad & dad) #unacceptable https://goo.gl/photos/LEbsGX517GeuPZDa8 https://goo.gl/photos/LEbsGX517GeuPZDa8

Been playing Brad Mehldau's (@bradmehldau) double album Highway Rider this morning. I bought it back in 2010 and didn't really get into it much at the time - I think I was wanting more of his trio playing.

Been playing Brad Mehldau's (@bradmehldau) double album Highway Rider this morning. I bought it back in 2010 and didn't really get into it much at the time - I think I was wanting more of his trio playing. Prompted by the news that he'll be performing it this Summer I've revisited it - and it is actually a very accomplished album with some strong playing by soloists and lovely arangements for the orchestra. He's created a great body of work over the past 20 years or so - a new album out last week too [BRAD MEHLDAU TRIO "BLUES AND BALLADS" see: http://www.bradmehldau.com/ ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaA7_dcfQts http://www.nonesuch.com/journal/sfjazz-center-2016-17-season-pat-metheny-brad-mehldau-joshua-redman-emmylou-harris-2016-06-15 http://www.bradmehldau.com/highway-rider/#.V2J1odUrLC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaA7_dcfQts

Dollar Days - David #Bowie: Missing the Starman

Dollar Days - David #Bowie : Missing the Starman I've not listened to any of ★ for a few months and not much Bowie either. Found myself humming the lines about evergreens from Dollar Days this morning and gave it a play. It's such a poignant song. Missing the Starman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqW-kvU5cLg http://genius.com/David-bowie-dollar-days-lyrics https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=u45HbhsQUaA&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqqW-kvU5cLg%26feature%3Dshare

Good column (by @jjn1) on UK #IPBill (spooks & snooping)

Good column (by @jjn1) on UK #IPBill (spooks & snooping) Theresa May’s surveillance plans should worry us all http://gu.com/p/4kpca?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B See also (via a comment) http://www.revk.uk/search/label/IPBILL This is such a stupid approach to the challenges we face. We need a careful balance between privacy, protection (of our info via encryption), protection of citizens (via law enforcement, spooks) with strong oversight by elected representatives. This IPBill isn't it. http://gu.com/p/4kpca?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B
