Happy Birthday Debbie!
Debbie Harry, the on-again, off-again lead singer of Blondie (which is currently on-again), celebrates her 65th birthday today! Happy birthday Debbie!
What’s your favorite song by this living legend?
I think I’ll go with “Heart of Glass,” and “French Kissin’ In the USA.”

The biggest Icon of them all - Mr. Brainwash
In a previous post, I told you about my encounter with the coolest artist of our time, Mr. Brainwash. I urge you to go see his exhibit Icons, which is located at 415 West 13th Street in New York. The exhibit runs from now until the end of March.
After the jump, you will see the first installment of Icons (according to Mr. Brainwash). If you like any of the following artists, you’ll really get a kick out of these pictures: Barry White, Billie Holliday, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Carlos Santana, Diana Ross, David Bowie or Dr. Dre. Prince and Jim Morrison can be seen here. Please note that all of these images were made by piecing together bits of broken vinyl records. How in the hell he pulled this off is anybody’s guess, but the results are stunning. Enjoy.

Debbie Harry!!!
To celebrate the book launch of Penny Arcade’s Bad Reputation, the legendary Debbie Harry came out to New York’s Le Poisson Rouge to read a passage from the book. I had a close encounter with her and she was “not feeling” taking a photo with me (hard to imagine, I know), so you’ll have to settle for the above pic and the ones after the jump. It really makes me sad that I was not able to tell her the story of when I was in high-school and my best friend and I had heard “Heart of Glass” on the radio on our way to a thrift store and when we arrived at the store, she found the 45 in the used bin. She was so excited to have spoken it into existence, the 45 fell out of her hand and literally rolled across the store. By the time we retrieved it, the record had cracked and a big chunk of the record was suddenly missing. Somewhere out there, the first verse of “Heart of Glass” is out there in some Good Will store. If you find it, it belongs to my friend.
