Tuesday tends to be a better day for music news than Monday.  And given that this is the last full week of summer, things will get back to normal one week from today.  I have a feeling that it’s going to be an EXTREMELY busy fall.

I just finished reading a brilliant Bowie biography called Starman by Paul Trynka.  I’ve read most of the Bowie books out there and this is easily the best.  (If you’re going to buy it, use Amazon.com for the best price.)

In one of the chapters on Bowie’s pre-“Space Oddity” wilderness years, Trynka mentions how Bowie took a job in an ice cream commercial which was directed by Ridley Scott.  Yes, THAT Ridley Scott.

I didn’t sleep well again last night.  This time, it was the dog.  I don’t know what my wife fed her, but she was extremely gaseous–an it’s-so-bad-the-smell-blisters-the-tongue” gaseous.  I think I may be suffering from some sort of poison inhalation this morning.

If you see some typos in the following post, I’m going to use lethal dog farts as my excuse.

According to the Music Industry News Network, there will be no music in the most populous nation in Africa this Thursday.  But it’s not what you think.
