more random fluctuations in space-time
Sunday, 16 September 2007 11:16 amToday's discovery: Danish chocolate has long, skinny divisions instead of the more familiar A4-proportioned rectangles. I find this curiously disturbing. Only Toblerone has the right to funny shapes in a chocolate bar.
Courtesy of Neil Gaiman's inimitable nose for the weird, Iggy Pop's concert rider. I am enlightened to discover that a concert rider is the addendum to the legal contract with the venue which governs a band's performance: the rider tends to include details such as the number of bottles of Evian which shall be provided in the dressing room. The whole idea confirms my suspicion that rock stars need a dedicated aide whose job is to take the star's ego out back and shoot it when it gets too monstrous, but Iggy Pop's rider-writer is (a) extremely articulate, (b) extremely funny and (c) insane.
