CATCH UP SATURDAYS: david bowie - the stars (are out tonight)

david bowie - the stars (are out tonight)
i forgot to post this video by floria sigismondi a few weeks back, so here it is. david bowie and tilda swinton trade places with younger incarnations of themselves and throw in a bit of gender regeneration into the mix. it's wacky that's for sure!

WONGIE XMAS: bing crosby & david bowie - the little drummer boy / peace on earth

bing crosby & david bowie - the little drummer boy / peace on earth
[maybe it's the xmas season and i'm getting incredibly sentimental in my older age, but this is such a lovely touching xmas performance (especially since bing passed a month later after this recording). it's easily one of my all time favorite xmas performances and i thought it fitting to offer it today. hug a loved one this weekend! happy xmas!]

scarlett johansson - falling down (video premiere)

scarlett johansson - falling down [link 2]
[though ms johansson sounds like dreck, you gotta give it up to a girl who's willing to stick her neck out by doing a full album of tom waits covers, then manages to convince david bowie to contribute to her 1st single! damn yo! the pretty arrangement totally reminds me of 4AD stuff from the late 80's/early 90's. it's just too bad that the video is just a camera following her around as she shoots two fashion spreads. it's all very strange if you ask me (and not in a good way)... btw, if you can't see the video try this link instead.]
