A TRU tipster sent me this jewel of a video which showcases the earliest forms of the famed “moonwalk” dance. Michael Jackson perfected and popularized the moonwalk, notably on his Motown 25 “Billie Jean” performance. But variations of the moonwalk already existed prior to that performance, thanks to the likes of Fred Astaire, Bill Bailey, Buck and Bubbles, Cab Calloway, Clark Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Daniel L. Haynes, Rubberneck Holmes, Patterson and Jackson, Eleanor Powell, Bill Robinson, Three Chefs (only the feet), Tip Tap and Toe (feat. Ray Winfield), and Earl Snakehips Tucker. And here I was thinking the moonwalk was pioneered by Neil Armstrong.

Paul Mawhinney holds the unofficial record for the world’s largest record collection. In this video, Mawhinney says that 83% of his material is unavailable on CD, “Eighty-three percent of the music that I have on those shelves you can’t buy at any price, anywhere!” Amazing.

Mawhinney is trying to sell his collection of 1 million albums and 1.5 million singles, which is worth about $50 million. Paul is only asking for $3 million. Someone at the Library of Congress should give Paul a call.

Mark Gonzales made this circle board by sticking several skateboards together. And that, folks, is another reason why we need to do something about the high unemployment rate in America.

Here’s a clip of Young Turbo and the Prince of Blue-eyed Soul cooking up some magic in the lab. Thicke’s Sex Therapy arrives on December 15, 2009.

Ricardo Autobahn had the amazing idea of making a song out of movie clips. The guy managed to string several snips into one incredible footage, while making your head snap at the same time. Watch and be amazed.

Oh hey, Rih Rih isn’t the only one milking the beatdown for publicity. Chris has also been working the media circus like a stripper pole. Hit the play button to hear C-Breezy’s response to Rihanna’s 20/20 interview.

I know Halloween is already in the rear view mirror, but this video is a must-see. A friend showed it to me yesterday and it left me speechless. After picking up my jaw off the floor, I decided to share it with you. I won’t even ruin it by explaining what’s going on in the video.
