Buxton battles 6 Music ch-ch-changes

Having challenged the BBC's director general, Mark Thompson, to a fight over his plans to axe the digital radio station BBC 6 Music, Adam Buxton – one half of its award-winning DJ pairing Adam and Joe – is to cover a song by one of his heroes, David Bowie, in support of the station. Buxton is putting the finishing touches to a version of Changes with the help of his fellow 6 Music DJ Tom Robinson. Listeners will then be invited to make videos for the song on Buxton's blog. As for his unlikely Thommo challenge – "I'm going to come up behind him and grab his buttocks. Then I'll twist his nipples quite badly. Then I'm going to ruffle his thinning thatch of hair. And then I'm going to give him a wedgie that he'll never forget" – the DG is yet to make a formal response.
