hey, i'm up late doing a lot of 'secre-
tarial' work... that consists of cleaning out old images from files,
deleting videos no longer available on the big bad miraculous youtube... and like, organizing my desktop and a lot of stuff that's necessary, but not so thrilling. but i wanted to post something to mark the day, so i found this groovy picture disc for david bowie's hit 'china girl.' i do like the song. if i'm not mistaken, i think iggy pop is the slinky dude that actually wrote it. (mmm, give me bowie's version any day.) so yeah, i remember picture discs. i think the only one i owned was for the new york stage production of 'the rocky horror picture show.' it was like, a big disc with frank posing in weird makeup. ( i should really try to find of shot of that and post it; it was pretty ugly, but 'cool-to-own.') i think picture discs are like, very high on the list of 80's pop band gimmickry. like, did anyone actually try to play one? i think i might have, but i don't have a real clear memory of it. so dig this groovy disc... and i'll try to hit you lovers again soon.
