Adam Buxton of BBC 6 Music's Adam and Joe fame has released his version of David Bowie's Changes, to raise awareness of the digital station's plight. You'll recognise the tune and – if you're an Adam and Joe listener – Buxton's "wuzza wuzza" Bowie impression, just not many of the words. Here are some highlights: "I still don't know why they are closing it, cos there's loads of other things at the BBC that are much more shit ... Big British Castle reconsider please! We're the ones who pay you all the flipping licence fees! ... I'm playing my saxophone. Later on I'll listen again to Nemone and Tom Robinson and Gideon Coe and Don Letts and Lamacq. And then I'll have a Bowiesnack. A Life On Mars bar or some Revel Revels? Maybe I'll just have a Quicksandwich. Wuz." Listen to it yourself here, and read more about it here.
