I do like the come back Bowie single, but I had to play this snippet of a naughty cameo of a skit from the awkwardly funny Extras, with Ricky Gervais…..enjoy> [audio:https://www.phoenixfm.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Extras-David-Bowie.mp3|titles=Extras David Bowie]
We chatted today about the New Kate Middleton Portrait- which to be would be a compliment if she was a lovely forty something, so it seemed odd. Back to the music, We got to hear the Brand new come back single from SUEDE, ‘Barriers’….
Oh, nice vid too..
