All the young nudes …

As great as it is that they're commissing videos this time around, they've all been a bit underwhelming. Beautiful people get very boring very quickly... I'd love a video with more of a narrative again, like Heart. The closest we got to that was Feel, and that was just two blokes having a silent drive to the beach and then getting out the car at the end.

Failing that, something with humour like Single-Bilingual or the Very campaign. I appreciate they're getting on, and maybe don't want to be so front and centre, but something with a bit of wit and imagination would be preferable to arty(-farty).

Well, I can't say I don't miss something more elaborate. Maybe there's something there I'm missing, since I'm not really familiar with earlier Bowie (my favourite is Loving the alien). At least the message of the video isn't "More war!" Lol

Why not have it all? How about wit, imagination, and arty(-farty)?

Even better!

True!

Another day, another PSB video with Neil's favourite eye-candy.

It is getting a bit tired though - I know videos aren't cheap to make, but this could have easily been made into a narrative piece - think Coronation Street - working guy still living at home with his parents having a cuppa (in PSB branded set) who goes out to join the "dudes" and his parents look on all unapproving, and so on. Kind of a throwback to the New York city boy kid in that video. His final act of defiance against his parents.

And if they still need a buff chap in the role with some decent abs, so be it.

Well, I hope you all are happy. The comments were turned off because a bunch of people were explicitly being homophobic about it. If you all can't accept the Boys are queer and therefore will make queer content, then just leave. If to you these people are a couple of pretty faces dancing around and nothing else, then you didn't understand the message of the song, the album and the era as a whole.

Did anyone else get an email from the official site saying the CD singles were backordered? I am so angry about this! Every CD single from this album has been a massive pain to get a hold of. Order from Amazon US, they have no delivery date even after it's released. So I order from Amazon UK because we'd be going there in a few months- same thing, I had to find a shop that had it. So this time I decide to just order from the official site and I STILL can't get it! Ridiculous!

Purchased through their US store. First time I have had a glitch from the US store.

Yes, I just received the alert from the US Store.
I thought the whole point of making a pre-order was to advise them how many items to press. I know it will eventually arrive, but REALLY?!?
WTF!

Why does Neil sing “I’m a dude, Dad”? Well, that’s what it sounds like to me.

Bowie just sang “I’m a dude”

Yes I also just received this. I wonder if it’s a mistake. But just ordered it elsewhere, just in case. For the other CD singles, it has worked perfectly for me here in New York.

The Richard X mix is FANTASTIC.

[MikeyC]

My order is back ordered as well.

The original is the Mott the Hoople version (which was written by Bowie but given away), which contains the "dad".

They say you can't polish a turd.

Well, if Richard X hasn't polished a turd, he has certainly rolled it in sprinkles.
