Bowie explained to Springsteen that he saw him play at Max’s Kansas City a couple years back and knew he had to cover at least one of his songs. They then discussed their annoyance with fans that dive onstage during their sets and the pitiful sound at the Spectrum arena in Philadelphia. “Everybody who ever played there warned me how terrible it was,” Bowie said. “I don’t think you can get good sound there, but we’ll try.” … [Read more...] about Flashback: David Bowie Covers Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Growin’ Up’

Int’l Critics Line: Todd McCarthy On Pedro Almodovar’s ‘The Human Voice’

So if you’ll need to roll it up for a daily commute, keep that in mind and get something that’s meant to be bent. You should also wipe or dust off your mouse pads regularly — some will even hold up to being wiped down with a good disinfecting wipe or damp cloth.
