Flea (born Michael Balzary) bassist for The Red Hot Chili Peppers turns 47 today, having been born on October 16th, in 1962! Flea just wrote a very nice eulogy/tribute for the recently passed Brendan Mullen that ran in the LA Times on Wednesday, which you can read at this link. Happy Birthday, Flea!
Here on the Rad Blog we are quite fond of discovering unusual and fucked up plush toys, and this one is no exception: the Hello Kitty Sushi Plush! So twisted, and yet so adorable. Just look at that little Hello Kitty head attached to the tiny plush piece of fake sushi. I could squeal. This near crime against nature comes in three styles and, according to the packaging, can be purchased from Toys R Us stores for just $7.99. What a bargain!
Thanks to Hello Kitty Hell for the tip!

Blue Cheer bassist and lead singer Richard Allan “Dickie” Peterson has passed away on October 12th, in Erkelenz, Germany, where he lived, after a long fight against cancer. He was 63. I had Dinner with Dickie and other members of Blue Cheer a couple of years ago, and he was a really cool guy. More info from Blue Cheer’s publicist after the jump.
I swear, not even the $295 price tag will keep me from eventually procuring this Barbie Wall Mirror for the Chickpad! Available directly from Jonathan Adler stores and on the web!

Wow, this is a fucking shock and a huge drag. I just heard that Brendan Mullen, Scottish-born champion of the late 70s / early 80s LA Punk Scene and owner of the Masque club in Hollywood has passed away from a stroke, having just celebrated his 60th birthday this past Friday. The LA Times has a preliminary obit at the link above. I can’t even address this right now. RIP Brendan.
