Did you know that Ozzy Osborne and Madonna shared vocals on a Was (Not Was) track called “Shake Your Head (Dub Remix)”? From the Was Not Was website:
In 1983 Madonna’s recorded vocals for Shake Your Head (Lets Go To Bed) a track on Born To Laugh At Tornadoes. When the album was released Madonna’s vocal had been replaced by Ozzy Osbourne’s, a completely different style. Don Was later explained: “She sang really well but l’ve always imagined the vocalist as extensions of ourselves and l couldn’t relate to female vocals being our voice” In 1992 the track was re-released in a different mix on Hello Dad I’m In Jail with Kim Basinger supplying the vocal.
For the alternative remix release In America, producer Steve “Silk” Hurley was given the wrong basic vocal/acapella tracks for the remix. Indeed, he was given Madonna’s vocals. This 12-inch remix was pressed before the error was realized and the release was then subsequently withdrawn. The 12-inch with the Madonna vocal has the catalogue number WASX12, compared to WAS12, the standard release which did not contain the Madonna vocals. The Ebay auction and back story can all be found here.
Listen to (download) the track right here on Artifacting. Was Not Was featuring Madonna - Shake Your Head (Steve Hurley Dub Remix)

It has been quite a winter everywhere in the states. These frozen waves on Lake Huron look like gigantic slabs of blue salmon.
Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Macinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.
Fascinating.

Death metal + incredible dessert recipes = The Black Oven - immaculate confections succumbed to northern darkness. With recipes like “Where the Chocolate Beats Incessant”, “Le Petit Gateau du Les Legions Noire -Traditional cupcakes inspired by untraditional black metal”, and “Frostbitten Molasses Cookies Entombed with Ginger” this promises to be the best black metal cooking site on the web.
I’m pretty sure lemon curd doesn’t exist in Norway. However, if by some miracle Odin had bestowed upon the snow beaten north the gift of citrus, the vikings would have probably made these. Buried beneath the mountains of frost…are cookies! These are best enjoyed while basking in the self-righteousness of your own obscurity.
Don’t stop there. The Breadmaster Strikes!!!!!!!!!! comes in a close second when it comes to baking in hallowed depths of hellfire. SeitanWörshipper does a pretty good dark metal/food blog (from Finland of course) too.

Did you know I have a tumblr brand tumble-log. Well, I do. Go check it out. It mostly contains a bunch of videos and pictures that aren’t appropriate for Artifacting, but there is some really great stuff over there. Perfect for a slow Friday afternoon.

Have you ever woke up the morning after a night of partying, turned on your camera and thought, “I don’t remember taking any of these pictures” and “I don’t remember uploading those pictures to flickr”? Yeah, well so does everybody on Sorry I Missed Your Party. In a strange way I’d like to see myself on this website someday.

I recently returned from a little weekend vacation in Salt Lake City and have a few recommendations should you ever decide to visit.

I hate posting youtube links here, but fuck it, it’s Friday and I’m feeling nostalgic. So below you’ll find a youtube video of what is, in my oh-so-humble opinion, one of the best duets of the 80’s. The original video to this song is lame, so I’ll go ahead and point you to this one containing clips from Pretty In Pink. I just love the spooky keyboards throughout verses. Ahhhh memories.

I think this is brilliant. Knarles Barkley’s new album “The Odd Couple” is available free for download. The catch: It’s all one single 38 minute long track, and it’s backwards.

Brooklyn based photographer and video artist William Lamson has some downright genius work over at his website. Much of his work involves itself with bb guns, balloons, gigantic paper airplanes, and more often than not, himself. His work is full of humor and surprises and was a joy to spend some time viewing.
My favorites include Work #7 from his Intervention project. It was a blast to watch and reminded me of games found at the local fair mixed with colorado blizzards and “The Christmas Story”. Watch it you’ll see what I mean. If you don’t have the time to sort through all his work (I recommend you find the time) I also recommend watching Bubbles (I need to learn how to do that), Video #8 from his Actions project and Emerge is simply beautiful.
