"Memory of a Free Festival" is a 1970 single by David Bowie. The song had originally been recorded in September 1969 as a seven-minute opus for Bowie's second self-titled album (reissued as Space Oddity in 1972). It was reworked in March-April 1970 at the behest of Mercury Records, the label believing that the track had a better chance of success as a single than "The Prettiest Star", released earlier in the year. Bowie and Tony Visconti roughly split the track in half, re-recording it so both halves could function as individual songs.

Baaba Maal, the Senegalese master-musician and cultural warrior, has an electrifying new sound and exhilarating live presentation.
The Traveller, his imminent album, Baaba’s eleventh, is scheduled for release in January 2016, a mixture of roots African sounds and cutting-edge western electro elements.
Wax is part of a series that discusses the objectification of women in pop art and media through a visual arts campaign. The film will be screened at the London Short Film Festival 2016 (details below).
About the film:
The visual aspect of the video is arranged to appear at first as a conventional or commonly stylised 'fashion film', but as the narrative of both the music and subtitled lyrics develop, the underlying darkness and meaning of the film is revealed, descending into extreme objectification towards the end.
With anticipation for The Hateful Eight reaching fever pitch, it’s the perfect opportunity to revisit the oeuvre of Tarantino on the big screen -from Reservoir Dogs to Django Unchained we're showing them all!
