This is David Bowie’s famous 1979 performance of “The Man Who Sold the World” on Saturday Night Live. Bowie was joined onstage by the theatrical performers Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias, creating one of the most visually striking television appearances of his career.

Unable to move freely because he performed inside an oversized plastic tuxedo costume designed by Mark Ravitz, Bowie relied on Nomi and Arias to help carry and guide him across the stage. The surreal, avant-garde staging reflected Bowie's fascination with performance art and the emerging New York underground scene, and the appearance introduced many American viewers to Klaus Nomi, who would later become a cult icon in his own right.

A previously unheard tape of an early Guns N Roses rehearsal has surfaced online.
The 40-year-old recording contains early - often significantly different - versions of several songs that featured on the band's debut album, Appetite For Destruction.

This is from a short lived sketch from 2005 called Monkey Trousers, featuring Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer and Steve Coogan, et al. Only six episodes were ever made but only five were broadcast, although I'm not sure why. 

One of the recurring sketches from the series was Geordie Astronauts, featuring V&B, Tim Healey and my fellow Boro supporter, Mark Benton. And here's one of them.

Good morning.

Because of Roger Moore’s presence, there are numerous James Bond references throughout "The Cannonball Run" (1981), resulting in a rumor that producer Albert R. Broccoli had Roger Moore sign a contract which forbid him to spoof or make references to the James Bond character in any other non-Bond film.

However, in September 2014 during an audience Q&A in Torquay, Roger Moore stated there was no such contract but that he had promised Albert Broccoli that he would never do anything that would hurt the James Bond character.

When Hal Needham, the director of "The Cannonball Run" went to meet the Bond producers about the possibility of directing a Bond film, the first thing they said was "Perhaps we should think about suing you for Cannonball".

June 14th 1995..Remembering Rory Gallagher, Irish rock guitarist (Taste), passes away at 47. Gallagher was voted as guitarist of the year by Melody Maker magazine in 1972. The main instrument that Gallagher played throughout his career was a sunburst 1961 Fender Stratocaster (Serial Number 64351). It was reputedly the first in Ireland, and originally owned by Jim Conlon, lead guitarist in the Irish band Royal Showband. Gallagher bought it second-hand from Crowley's Music Shop of Cork's MacCurtain Street in August 1963 for £100.

Dublin, what a way to close out two unforgettable nights. 🖤🤘

The energy you brought, the voices that shook the room, and the passion you gave us from the first note to the last made this stop on the M72 Tour truly special.

To everyone who came out and shared these nights with us thank you. Every mile traveled, every song sung, and every memory made means the world to us. We never take your support for granted.

Until next time, Dublin. Stay loud, stay strong, and keep carrying the spirit of live music with you.
