With Mr. Torn's alchemical skills, I'm sure he can turn "lead" guitar 
into "gold."

There's an interesting interview w/ Tony Visconti in the new Tape Op 
that talks quite a bit about his collaborations w/ Bowie, from Ziggy 
to Low/Heroes to the new disc. Great reading! Bowie has always been 
one of the most fascinating pop figures, he really manages to stay 
hugely popular and surf on the fringes of the avant-garde at the same 
time, and for a very long time. Plus, he's written some terrific 
songs over the years. The new record also features Matt Chamberlain, 
one of the coolest drummers on the planet, and Matt's been known to 
spin a loop or 2 in his band Critter's Buggin. I'm really looking 
forward to this disc!
