In REAR WINDOW (1954) the songwriter - seen here with Hitchcock doing his cameo thang - is played by Ross Bagdasarian, an accomplished singer and songwriter in his own right, who under his stage name David Seville would go on to create ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’.

This is an extremely important and informative NYTimes article on the serious tick problem we now face. I also wrote about it in "Dark Banquet"my pop-sci book on blood-feeders, but since then things have gotten far worse. 🧪🦠🦌📚

Psyched to have just hit 60K words (180 pages) on my upcoming nonfiction book, "Feet First: A Natural History, from Fins to Fetishes." Admittedly, I've chosen to explore some seriously challenging (and at times gruesome) topics, but things are coming together quite well. 🦕🧪📚🩺🦶👣👠🦇🦅🐘🐈‍⬛

Foot binding was practiced in China for nearly a thousand years. It's one of many fascinating topics I've been researching for my upcoming nonfiction book "Feet First".
