Bowie on The Radio : Soundaboard Jukebox
DAVID BOWIE - BBC RADIO 1 STAR SPECIAL (1979)
On March 20 1979, BBC Radio 1 invited David Bowie to be the DJ for their show Star Special.Bowie spent two hours playing some of his favorite songs (and 2 tracks from the new album, Lodger). An eclectic mix including The Doors, Iggy Pop, John Lennon, Philip Glass, Talking Heads, Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones, etc.This recording comes from a re-broadcast on March 25, 2013 on BBC Radio I Player.
Play these but chez Swappers Mansions they play as the previous post from attic on Roy Thomas Baker - I would really appreciate your playing the links and letting me know what you get!
Hour 1
Hour 2
Sorry but the two playback (streaming) links were both of Attic’s Roy Thomas Baker The Producers programme - also worth a listen incidentally but will post the correct playback when AtticRock has sorted it
P.S. the downloads above are fine
Well this is weird and having been in touch with AtticRock himself he doesn’t have the same problem at his HQ so I have had to lift the Bowie progs directly from Internet Archive so here they are to stream alnong your day! They are really worth it!
Think these are the correct links lifted direct from the Archive . . . . . . well worth a listen and especially after all that trouble I have given AtticRock at Soundaboard!

Steve Winwood - John Barleycorn Must Die | This week in Music . . . .
Steve Winwood - John Barleycorn
This week in music history—1970: Traffic's 'John Barleycorn Must Die' was released. “Most of the Traffic stuff stands the test of time pretty well. All of those albums are like my children, so I really can’t pick a favourite, but in many ways, John Barleycorn is the core of what Traffic is, and it could be the most definitive album we did.” - SW

The Mad Mad Love of Man Ray and Lee Miller | messynessychic
Lee Miller and Man Ray
She was the model and artist turned war correspondent. He was one of Surrealism’s most iconic figures. Together, Lee Miller and Man Ray lived a fiery romance, set to the backdrop of 1930s Paris. So naturally, we’re keen to relive their story…
Miller was discovered by Condé Montrose Naste (yes, that Condé Naste) at 19 in New York. She was crossing a street when he plucked her out of traffic and into the pages of Vogue. The Poughkeepsie native’s blonde bob and piercing eyes gave her the look of “a sun-kissed goat boy from the Appian Way,” said Cecil Beaton; she just had that je ne sais quoi, and rose to the top of the game.
When she set sail for Paris in 1929, her lovers had to flip a coin to decide who got to see her off. The broken-hearted loser even swooped beside the boat in a biplane to shower her in roses, so you could say she had a powerful effect on her men — but she met her match in Man Ray.

A favourite poet . . . .
Here's Seamus Heaney (from "Death of a Naturalist", 1966
(the photo by Bobbie Hanvey: Heaney at a bog in Bellaghy, Co Derry, 1986):
Digging
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.
Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging. I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging.
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep
To scatter new potatoes that we picked,
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.
By God, the old man could handle a spade.
Just like his old man.
My grandfather cut more turf in a day
Than any other man on Toner’s bog.
Once I carried him milk in a bottle
Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up
To drink it, then fell to right away
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods
Over his shoulder, going down and down
For the good turf. Digging.
The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap
Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
Through living roots awaken in my head.
But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests.
I’ll dig with it.
