Isobell Campbell & Willy Mason
Was listening to this the other night and thought - wow that guy sounds like Willy Mason, it was Willy Mason, I can prove it:
Only a few people in the world can get away with whistling on a song, Isobell's one of them.

PJ Harvey
She's got a new album out in February, with a heavy English influence. There's a great shot in the video below of a wave rolling back out to sea that, at first, I couldn't make out what it was, then it suddenly makes sense - it's genius. here's a new track from it - ````````````` The Last Living Rose.....PJ Harvey Official site

David Bowie
Watching this "Old Grey Whistle Test" performance of Five Years, from Bowie, circa 1972, makes you realise how good he is - the delivery is spot on - such a great artist, I just had to post this. Listen to the end and you will hear Bowie asking: "Is that OK?" - like he didn't realise what an amazing take this was...
Also from that same session "Oh, You Pretty Things"...
EDIT:
1974 BBC 'Cracked Actor' documentary - always good to find 'new' old bowie stuff:

Captain Beefheart
Came home from Oslo to hear that Don Van Vliet had died. His music was amazing and if you never saw his paintings, likewise.
From the Old Grey Whistle Test - Upon The My Oh My (1974):
From his last ever album, back in the eighties - Ice Cream For Crow:
Wonderfully weird observations on the man, with the man:
And finally, check out his paintings, here at the Captain Beefheart Radar Station website
