Gammel mand er ny djævel

Den anden dag så jeg - som research, men lige så inciterende som insisterende BRUN film! - Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy med Gary Oldman som en dybt og inderligt stenet Smiley (heller ikke meget humør i ham i Batman-filmene) men nu er han tilbage i i ondskabsfuld storform, a la Dracula, True Romance, Léon, som depraveret katolsk præst i den kostelige over the-top-video til David Bowies The Next Day (David selv er en passende hys spedalsk messisas), godt at se ham atter afsindigt ond:

Jeg har købt en cd i dag

og det er meget lang tid siden sidst:



Og nu læser jeg omsider også teksterne, på det vedlagte småt- og tættrykte tekstark, eller rettere på de aflyttede tekster på nettet og korrigeret, holdt tæt op mod lyset, af tekstarket; og de fleste er flosset komplekse og enigmatiske (og vittige) og rigtig rigtig gode, den her er helt enkel (og rigtig god og forfinet corny) og siger mig lige nu mest, "The Boss of Me":

Tell me when you're sad
I'm gonna make it cool again
I know you're feeling bad
Tell me when you're cool again

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl like you
Would be the boss of me

We fly through the night
The tears on your lips
Life has your mind and soul
It spins on your hips

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl like you
Would be the boss of me
Would be the boss of me
Would be the boss of me

You look at me and you cry for the free blue sky
I look to the stars as they flicker and float in your eyes
And under these wings of steel the small town dies

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl like you
Would be the boss of me

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl like you
Would be the boss of me
Would be the boss of me
Would be the boss of me

I stedet for anmeldelse: Lige nu i Elysium

er Poul Borum, Michael Strunge og Morti Vizki også lige blevet færdige med at gennemlytte den nye Bowie på og GENNEM deres lyserøde i-Cloud - og glade og forvirrede over, hvad de har hørt, er også de klar til at høre den igen.

En hemmelighed så god, at ingen tror på ham, der røber den (på sin blog), er en kunst

(undtagen hvis det handler om likviderede præsidenter og dens slags naturligvis)

Fra interview med produceren af Bowies nye plade Tony Visconti på rolingstone.com:

How hard was it to keep this a secret?
It was very easy to keep it a secret because we're very loyal to him. I've known him 45 years, and everybody knew him for more than 10 years in the band. We just love the guy. He said, "Keep it a secret, and don't tell anybody. Not even your best friend." I said, "Can I tell my girlfriend?" He says, "Yes, you can tell your girlfriend, but she can't tell anybody." So everybody had to explain why they were leaving for work in the morning, you know where they were going and who they were recording with. The real trick was just not telling even your best friend. Bowie fans are just unpredictable – if they hear news like this, the cover would have been blown years ago. Now one person did leak it, but nobody believed him . . .

Who?

Robert Fripp (spiller guitar på Scary Monsters jo LB)! He was asked to play on it, he didn't want to do it and then he wrote on his blog that he was asked. And nobody kinda believed him. It was a little flurry for a few days, but everyone said,  "How could that be true? We haven't heard it from anyone else?"
