Check around, I bet there will be. A lot of the DJs get the same notices I do and they are asked if they would like to host one.

I don't know the bulk of Roxy Music or BF's music but I know some. Slave To Love, More Than This, Avalon ... this will give me an excuse to play at least 6 or 7 videos of RM and BF.

It's worth exploring it all. Roxy Music is my second favorite band of all time. (Number 1: The Smiths)

And as for Olympia: there won't be a better album this year.

Listening the album while working on my book (http://www.communityofdesire.wordpress.com), I feel this album could almost act as a soundtrack for the book.

Note also that the last track on the album is "Tender Is the Night": named after my favorite novel.

Watch the video for the tag TrueFaith :-)

I heard the album for the first time today and it is very good indeed. I love Manifesto and Flesh and Blood and maybe it isn't in that league but it is a relief not to hear Bryan doing an album of 'covers'. He's a great song writer and it's nice to hear that Roxy Music sound again.

I'm so excited for this album and I hope I'll finally get my hands on it this week! I've been trying to imagine what his take on Song To The Siren will be like -- it's one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard and I've loved it since I heard George Michael's stunning version on his 25Live tour.
Can't wait for Bryan to announce his Irish tour dates.

Bryan's "Song to the Siren"--it's magnificent.

I love this album more and more as I listen to it--personally I'd rank it in the upper echelon of his solo output (along with Bride Stripped Bare and Frantic). "Reason or Rhyme" is jaw-dropping. My favorite track on the disc.
