This Scott Walker cover was one of the highlights of Black Tie White Noise. Love the vocal performance, and sounded great live on the Outside tour.

Dec. 5, 1925: Langston Hughes at work as a waiter at the Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. At around this time he comes across the poet Vachel Lindsay at the hotel and shows him some of his own poetry, an encounter that will lead to Hughes being published.

YouTube video by Reeves Gabrels - Topic You've Been Around

P.S. A 3rd track on Black Tie White Noise involving Reeves was 'You've Been Around,' a Bowie/Gabrels co-write that was always properly credited. On BTWN, Reeves' guitar is mixed back (which Bowie joked about affectionately). Guitars are prominent on Reeves' 1995 release tho: youtu.be/G2y5yXkJtGI?...

[2/2] ...if he'd mind being replaced by Ronson on lead. "Of course not," Reeves says he replied, "how cool to have a track where I'm credited alongside Mick." So he was disappointed to be omitted originally, and glad when Parlophone rectified that for the box set. Best from us to you & yours, too.

Thanks. Yes. Reeves had a missed credit added by Parlophone in 2021 for "wah guitar and rhythm guitar" on 'I Feel Free," which features Mick Ronson on lead guitar. Reeves originally played all guitar tracks, then David Bowie decided he wanted an overdub by Ronson on lead. David asked Reeves... [1/2]

For the record (pun acknowledged), Reeves Gabrels plays lead guitar on this track, a credit omitted initially when Black Tie, White Noise was released in 1993, then corrected for Parlophone's 2021 Brilliant Adventure box set. Such a great Scott Walker song and cover by Bowie. --Susan Gabrels

Frank O. Gehry, Titan of Architecture, Is Dead at 96

Timely sharing of this song, it turns out, as architect Frank Gehry died today at 96. Gift link to NYTimes obituary: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/a...

One of *my* favorite Bowie/Gabrels songs too. 😎 Thanks for listening.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing this, Bart.

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

Agreed.

I took this photo on the Teign Estuary in Devon in spring 2022. I thought I was just taking a photo of an attractive hole in an old tree. It was only when I got home and looked through my camera roll that I saw the leaping dog, who I'd caught perfectly framed, mid-leap, totally by chance. I remembered the dog immediately, because of what an annoying twat it had been.

ALL IMLS grants restored in every state & territory.

In response to a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island, the Institute of Museum and Library Services reinstated all previously canceled grants in every state and territory. It's a huge win for libraries and our communities.

"The reinstatement of all IMLS grants means that libraries across the country will be able to resume vital services for learning, imagination, and economic opportunity. We are breathing a sigh of relief, but the fight is not over." ALA President Sam Helmick. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month.

This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory!

In the NPR Music newsletter I point to the @npr.org Books We Love feature, where you can find thousands of recommended reads, and offer more music book suggestions. I focused on memoirs this year -- so many great ones! Here's what I recommended, you need to subscribe if you wanna read why tho: 1/

Good to see Omikron: The Nomad Soul is at the V+A. For the record (pun acknowledged), the video game did not beget the Hours album. The two projects ran parallel and leapfrogged, and David Bowie & I had started song writing together for Hours long before the game developers approached him/us. 🎵
