What a great show this week! Ty came out roaring. Melissa was a no-show. The team dances rocked the house! Here’s this week’s blow-by-blow:
Gilles & Cheryl: (Lindy Hop) It was great to see Gilles slow it down a bit and work on his precision. There was a bit of a mis-step in the middle but [...]

The TV Land Awards had a great tribute to Sid & Marty Krofft. Will Ferell, star of the upcoming big screen version of Land of the Lost, introduces things and shows some clips and then it all goes musical with performances of many of the Krofft theme songs. My favorite: Cyndi Lauper doing Electra Woman [...]
Regular readers know that I have a special place in my heart for A Chorus Line (I detailed most of that in a June 2007 post about seeing the Broadway revival).
Now, a movie about A Chorus Line is out in limited release (opening in New York and Los Angeles last week). Every Little Step uses [...]
Week two of the new riding regime was even better than week one. My riding got stronger, with my traveling time cut down by about five minutes (I expect that to dip more, hopefully by at least five more minutes). I also picked up a bungee cord so I’m able to strap some of the [...]
Live’s 1994 album Throwing Copper yielded quite a few excellent songs, but none of them were as amazing as “Lightning Crashes.” The song was written to honor Barbara Lewis, a 19-year-old friend of the band, who was killed by a drunk driver. She had many of her organs donated and the lyrics detail how someone’s [...]
Okay, Jeff is usually the one who gets all worked up about these silly dance movies, but just look at this trailer, it packs EVERY dance movie cliche into a scant two minutes! I MUST see this!
It was directed by Robert Iscove, the man responsible for From Justin To Kelly. Seriously, I MUST see this!
Caprica, the new prequel to Battlestar Galatica that is set to be a Sci-Fi Channel (or by then it’ll be SyFy Channel) series next year, arrived on DVD this week. Netflix was kind enough to have it in my mailbox on day one.
Set 58 years before the fall of the colonies, which we see in [...]
Irish Winter by John Simpson was outside the realm of what I normally read. Set in Cork, Ireland in 1919, Irish Winter focuses on two young men who fight for the IRA against the British who invaded their country. Ian Mulroney and Devlin Walsh are mere acquaintances until Ian witnesses the murder of an IRA [...]
There was a different dance for nearly everyone this week, plus it was group dance flashback to the mod 60s. Here’s a look at this week’s ballroom antics:
Melissa & Tony: (Argentine Tango) For me, the dance that opened the night was the dance of the night. The quick, precision leg and foot work was incredible. [...]
