In case you've ever doubted that astronauts are the best, Commander Chris Hadfield is here to set you straight with what is apparently the first music video recorded in space. His song choice? "Space Oddity," by David Bowie. Of course.
Since the video for "The Next Day" debuted overnight, reports have emerged that YouTube has pulled the clip because it "violated YouTube's Terms of Service." There's been no official word, but many are assuming Bowie took things a little too far with his playing on religious symbolism this time around.
A very strange thing happened to pop music this year. David Bowie released a new album, and it is awesome, so awesome that it rocketed the 66-year-old singer to the top of the charts for the first time in 20 years.
He's not one for conventions, so he jumped the gun today by releasing The Next Day streaming, in its entirety, on iTunes. And now Bowie fans can all breathe a collective sigh of relief: everyone seems to agree that it's good — maybe even remarkable.
Just a normal couple driven insane by a couple of bizarre, androgynous celebrities.

Always one for flipping conventions, David Bowie is celebrating his 66th birthday today by giving his fans the gift of new music. This morning he released a new single and announced his first new album in almost 10 years.
Today in books and publishing: The real-life history behind Game of Thrones, David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust phase is getting the celebrity biography treatment, and Canada's libraries balk at Random House's e-book price hike.
