a few important things for your day

First and foremost, some "hot cat-in-box action" via Boing Boing:



There's plenty more at http://www.youtube.com/user/mugumogu. Warning: you can spend hours on this.


Second, here is the single weirdest piece of concert footage I have ever seen, from David Bowie's 1987 "Glass Spider" tour. The song is "Fashion." I defy you to comprehend.




And finally, to celebrate the long-awaited release of "Chinese Democracy," here is an old Rolling Stone article on the making of Guns 'N' Roses' magnum opus, "Appetite for Destruction." Teaser:

"Axl rose was lying nude inside a Manhattan recording studio's darkened vocal booth, working out some unorthodox last-minute overdubs. Tape was rolling, and he knew something wasn't right. Beneath him was a cute nineteen-year-old stripper named Adriana Smith, who happened to be his drummer's girlfriend."
