Sounds like there's plenty to look at, so I should be like a pig in the proverbial.
I recently wasted half an hour watching 'literal videos' - where a (usually) reasonable vocal impressionist changes the words to a popular song to describe the action in the video clip.
This one for China Girl is not dreadful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF7LAtMklRE
The best has to be this rendition of They Might Be Giants' Birdhouse In Your Soul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhJVAFIMnkc - as it was a daft song and clip to begin with.

That was funny. And the voice was pretty accurate too.

Pretty old, but still very funny.
Whole album streaming on iTunes. 5 tracks in, and it's super.
Most anticipated album of the year for moi...er...me. Sorry, I'm beginning to sound like Tor!!!!
I wasn't keen on the second single. It wasn't terrible, just a bit pedestrian. Will have a quick listen on iTunes.

Same here. The second single is not very special imo...but I liked the first unlike a lot of other people.
Only a few days...
Well I'm listening to it for the first time. Not exactly excited by it but I know you have to give them a couple of plays. I've got the deluxe version with the 3 extra tracks and I think the last track is the best.
Also one track reminiscent of a Sparks song from Kimono which I've only recently discovered.

I went along to this today and it was, frankly, fantastic. I spent about an hour wandering through the several rooms dedicated to his career featuring outfits, instruments, contracts, original lyrics, props and even a bit about Labyrinth. I'd advise any Bowie fans to visit immediately, but someone told me earlier that it's sold out for the entire run...
Ooh, jealous now, must get down to it.
Sold out? 
Per the V&A website:

A limited number of tickets are available to purchase at the Museum on day of visit. You are advised to arrive at the V&A for when the Museum opens at 10.00 for the best chance of purchasing a ticket.
