KISS - Creatures Of The Night (Promo 1982)
Happy 40th Anniversary to the KISS album Creatures of the Night. One of KISS' more famous and interesting albums in KISS' discography. Creatures would be the last under KISS' original label Casablanca Records while also paying tribute to Casablanca founder Neil Bogart who passed away around that time. It would be the final KISS album with make up until Psycho Circus in 1998. Perhaps the most famous note is despite appearing on the cover, guitarist Ace Frehley does not play a note on the album as he was on his way out at the time and only did promotional work. As a result, most of the guitar work was done by his eventual successor Vinnie Vincent while future Mr. Mister guitarist Steve Farris and blues guitarist Robben Ford also contributed to different songs.

Dr. No (1962) title sequence
Happy 60th Anniversary to James Bond film Dr. No and the James Bond movie series. Interesting note. In the gun barrel sequence, James Bond was actually played by stuntman Bob Simmons. Sean Connery didn't do the sequence until the fourth film Thunderball. Not sure why.
