Gary Numan vs 24 Diehard Batteries

Gary 'Tubeway Army' Numan performs 'Cars' for a Diehard Battery commercial. I'd love it a great deal more if I know this commercial was a spoof on Numan, starring his evil, chubbier doppelganger. Hell, I'm still a huge fan of all things Numan, but this commercial is kind of how I'd imagine I'd feel waking up from a drunken stupor, laying next to a tranny-prostitute...jaw dropped & not really sure what the fuck just happened.

PS...if you're in Chicago tonight, there are still some tickets available for Gary Numan's gig at the Metro.

Ben Javens: Some Danged Good Packaging

Ben Javens is an illustrator from across the pond (England), whose flair for great design precedes him. I've been a fan of Ben's 60's Danish stylized graphics for a wee bit. Needless to say, I grinned like a little girl while shopping at my neighborhood Target store here, in Chicago & spied a row of 8th Continent Soymilk containers from yours truly, Ben.

Madelinex: Klaus Nomi - Riding The New Wave

I just received a heads up from Madeline in NYC...who has a fabulous blog running. She sent me a link about her experiences in the midst of the NYC music/ art scene in its hey-day and encounters with David Bowie, Klaus Nomi & Joey Arias and more specifically, the very same SNL broadcast that I blogged about last night.

Hit the link HERE and peruse Madelinex's Klaus Nomi - Riding The New wave...a muy fabulous re-telling!
