[DudeAsInCool]

I heard a new version of Suffragette City called Suffragette Killer, that was rock'n...Im told it was part of the promotion of the tour, but its not on the new album, which you can hear excerpts of at http:www.davidbowie.com

Here is a review from Zboneman.com (http://www.zboneman.com/music/563.html):

Reality Music Review:

If Low, Heroes, and Lodger were David Bowie albums that should be seen as connecting works, then I guess that last years Heathen album would have to go hand in hand with Bowie's new output Reality. Both have Tony Visconti behind the boards, and both contain two cover songs surrounded by new upbeat material. Reality, however, seems to be the more rocking and just plain dominant release of the two. Opener "New Killer Star" is rousing with Bowie sounding very energetic. His cover of the Modern Lovers "Pablo Picasso" is also very spry, and truth be told, Bowie's version turns out to be even better than that of which Jonathan Richman sang about over 20 years ago. "Looking For Water" has a chugging desperation about it which keeps the listening intriguing, and ending tune "Bring Me the Disco King" has a spunky jazz twinge to it. The only real pratfall here happens to be the other cover song, George Harrison's "Try Some, Buy Some." Bowie's version comes out sounding flat and insipid. Definitely the worst of the four cover songs in the last two years. But overall, yet another fantastic album in less than two years from this ageless legend.

Last but not least, I came across the David Bowe fansite that has a wealth of information about David Bowie:
