I’m in a hurry, so combining three bits of entertainment news.
Uncle Val has died, aged 88. Big part of my childhood. Paddy McGinty’s Goat, etc.
There’s a new Bowie box set out in September covering the Ziggy era. Little in it for hardcore fans.
Albarn’s new project is a musical Alice for the digital age, called Wonder.land.
End of announcements.

The Bowie box is rather nice, especially for those hardcore fans like me who had refused to buy one of those silly annual reissues (vinyl + DVD anyone?) without bonus tracks, but with crap sleeve reproductions. And it finally corrects a twenty-year old mistake from one of the Ryko CDs (the mis-labelled & wrong version of “Holy Holy”).
I’d like to see those 2015 remasters of The Man Who Sold The World and Hunky Dory released separately.

In your 3D thread, 2D are not worthy. RIP.
