This period of isolation has seen a trove of David Bowie content unearthed from the archives. The latest instalment added to the ongoing series of digital releases will draw from Bowie’s Something in the Air performance live from Paris in 1999.

The performance, recorded on October 14th, 1999 at Paris’ Elysée Montmartre, includes a bunch of rare cuts, including performances of tracks like 1966’s ‘Can’t Help Thinking About Me,’ which hadn’t been t performed in over three decades. Station to Station’s ‘Word on a Wing,’ Aladdin Sane’s ‘Drive-In Saturday,’ and the first-ever performance of  Hours’ ‘Something in the Air.’

Though three of the concert’s recordings were featured on the Hours B-sides, the other 12 tracks have never been released. Something in the Air (Live Paris 99) is set to debut on streaming services on August 15th.

The live record follows the digital releases of Earthling-era live collection LiveandWell.com and Ouvrez Le Chien (Live Dallas 95).

In heartwarming news, nursing home residents from the Sydmar Lodge Care Home in Edgware in the U.K. have been recreating iconic album covers to pass the time in isolation. 

Nursing home entertainment manager Robert Speker recently helped the residents find a bit of happiness and entertainment by encouraging them to recreate different album covers throughout history. The results are sublime.

From David Bowie to Adele, Bruce Springsteen to Michael Jackson, and even a bit of Queen and Elvis Presley, the residents have posed for the album covers, and had them edited to replicate the album artwork perfectly.
