The Illusionist
Great news to report today as David Blaine has successfully conquered the world record for holding one's breath. New Record = 17 mins. and 4 seconds. Oh, and he did it on the Oprah Winfrey show, cuzzzz... why not? I have been fascinated with Blaine since his first ABC television special featuring former BFF Leonardo Dicaprio. That was over 10 years ago now. While many people were none too impressed with his last underwater/breath holding attempt, I found it to be a spectacular piece of street art. Much to write about Blaine but for now I leave you with these popular Blaine spoofs most of you in the know have already seen HERE.

AMAZING
Davey Dance Blog -45- LOUVRE - Katerine "100% V.I.P." from Pheasant Plucker on Vimeo.
A project of simplistic genius. Young Gent travels the world armed with an ipod and camera and dances up a storm at historical landmarks. A project over a year and running, the vid's speak for themselves. Wondrous cinematography + perfectly matched music + killer moves = Davey's Dance Blog

SUNDAY FOOTBALL
"Hi, my name's Nick, and I like the Dolphins."
-----While looking through Dolphin pic's I find this. ok. Be sure to due yourself a favor and click on photo to view the Grown-Ass-Man size pic.
Awkwardly Awesome video of Zach Thomas supermannin it
HIGHLIGHTS
00:01 - We enter a world where former Miami Dolphin golden boy Zach Thomas is a crowd favorite-dance performer.
00:26 - Zachary goes all in. He is now at 100% Soulja Boy, a stunt he performs several times.
00:37 - "WoWWWW! The whole thing he's DoiNGGGG" - states Mystery Man in the background. Listen to this line over and over for stronger dose. *Clearly best scene.
01:08 - Zachary begins to feel a little lost. He has been dancing for over 60 seconds and is a bit out of his element, or so I presume. What does he do?
01:15 - Zach begins signing autographs.
01:26 - Zachary begins a new chapter of his interpretive dance routine. Things heat up quickly.
01:32 Zach's walkoff performance...a "flex-jimmy/straight-sex/guitar-solo"...One final crank to the left, crank to the right, and Zach gets back to work Autograph Producing.
*Now watch 3 times and come back tomorrow.

BLUEBIRD
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

The Greatest Bar (in the history of the world)
Aight, so long story short, this is a video that was done by Dirty Water TV(a local TV show in Boston) reviewing "The Greatest Bar", a spot in Downtown Boston my buddy Benny Blanco promotes/manages. He asked me to come through and tear up the dance floor...Needless to say I left blood on the walls AKA Murdered it. I make my cameo appearances at 00:23 , and the Grand Hat Finale is at 3:22. Your Welcome....Also, there is several unintentionally hysterical moments in this video, one of them occurring at the 3:15 mark. Enjoy.

Rolling Stones - Shine a light
I had the day off yesterday and went with some new Boston Brohan's to Harvard Square for an afternoon showing of the new Scorsese meets the Stones feature - Shine a Light. Spectacular. Peter Travers gives a great write up HERE
Mick Jagger is still a beast. Scene stealer is definitely Champagne and Reefer ( a Muddy Waters cover) with Buddy Guy.
Hova getting political.
I had the chance to go to the Jay-Z/Mary J. concert when he came to the Boston Garden a few weeks back, but unfortunately I was on my death bed at the time. Don't feel like I missed much (I've seen Hov live already), but I am happy to see hip hop artists finally going out on tour with a live band. Now, as for Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour, I have to attend this spectacle. More Behind the scenes pics HERE
