Even in a calling outlined by its detours and departures, it all the same raised eyebrows when David Bowie formed Tin Machine in 1989, briefly renunciation his long and successful solo career to work within the confines of a isthmus. Featuring guitar player Reeves Gabrels and the sib calendar method section of Tony and Hunt Sales -- the sons of fabled television system comic Soupy Sales -- the group was on the face of it assembled to permit Bowie the opportunity to devolve to his roots, touring diminished clubs and collaborating in what he asserted was a really democratic originative partnership. Indeed, Tin Machine's metallic, feedback-intensive healthy go down it distinctly apart from recent Bowie solo efforts, and their eponymic 1989 debut LP earned favourable reviews, grading an MTV hit with the first-class honours degree unmarried, "Under the God." Can Machine II followed in 1991, but lacking the gaud and the accompaniment media reporting of its predecessor, the record book failed to generate practically excitement; the live Oy Vey, Baby appeared later that same class, only when Bowie resumed his solo calling with 1993's Bleak Tie White Noise, the dance band quietly ceased to exist.

Silver Jews Get a Little Wacky — and Yet More Charming

Silver Jews’ scatterbrained auteur David Berman has always been — despite his music’s dark overtones — one for a laugh. But this album is something new: There’s the tongue-in-cheek lament “Suffering Jukebox,” bouncy perseverance anthem “Strange Victory, Strange Defeat,” even an oddball jam in “Party Barge.” Now in his forties, Berman seems, dare we say, at peace. And it’s to our benefit: Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is more than a calm, joyous affair — it’s a triumph.

US shows shelve Heath Ledger video

Plans to broadcast footage on US television of the late actor Heath Ledger allegedly at a drug-fuelled party in Hollywood have been pulled "out of respect for his family".
The footage is understood to have been shot two years ago following an awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
US celebrity programmes Entertainment Tonight and The Insider were due to broadcast the footage and had previously aired a promotional clip for the proposed screening.
Ledger is not shown taking drugs in the video.
In a statement Entertainment Tonight said: "Out of respect for Heath Ledger's family, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video which has been circulating in the world media."
