Mother Of Pearl Another Time, Another Place.

Also on "She's Leaving Home", where Paul McCartney takes the narrative verses and Lennon takes the parents perspective, Bryan takes both roles himself. My dream duet for Bryan would be Billie Holiday, just the thought of Billie singing: "Sometimes I get so blue People say I'm just A fool All the world, even you Should learn to love the way I do" breaks my heart.

I must admit I had not even realized it was a duet, I was just hearing his voice singing it. As for his partner, I'm not so sure. IMHO: Cher's too old, Annie Lennox too plain, Britney too plastic, Anastasia too raw, Beyonce too loud and I don't think he would settle for Celine Dion either. But funny combinations can be great sometimes. I love Eros Ramazotti singing Can't stop with Tina Turner, and I would certainly never have thought of THAT. Hey, Tina Turner???

Yes! Both he and Exene seem to be touring a _lot_, with various bands/styles. The recent Original Sinners album (with Exene) has some really good stuff on it. I've heard parts of the John Doe album on radio and it's also good. Reading Heather's and Christopher's posts brings back my own fond memories of that era; perhaps as good a time to be in one's "formative years" (especially in a metropolis) as those of you who were there for the beginning of Roxy. I also must add Anti-Nowhere League, Chelsea, the Au Pairs, Wreckless Eric (he's on tour too!), the Raincoats, X-ray Spex as a few I recall as innovative artists from an amazing age.

No, the multichannel sound requires a SACD player, which these days start at about US$400. However, if your DVD player indicates it can play DVD-A, Frantic is also available in this multichannel format. > and where is the cheapest place to buy this version in the U.K? I can't find anything in the U.K.online, but Amazon.de has both SACD and DVD-A in stock for 23 euros.
