My Bloody Valentine's "Lose My Breath"

As usual this Blaine guy totally kicks my ass by doing something I neither would have done nor thought to do. Yesterday he held his breath for over seven minutes in an "8-foot globelike tank" at Lincoln Center. Globelike tank! I'm pretty sure he had handcuffs on too, which means he couldn't punch his way through the tank like sharks do.

So obviously this got me thinking about the MP3 blog world. Then I started thinking about music. Who's our David Blaine? Here are my nominees:

Kelly Clarkson. Had a doctor remove all the blackheads from her face then wrapped herself in sheet music, just to give us the bassline to "Since U Been Gone."

Tony Yayo. The guy's been walking around with five tarantula spiders in his bucket hat for ten years.

Spiders. Five of these guys have been hiding under Tony Yayo's bucket hat for ten years.

Phish. These guys played a concert New Years Millennium that was stone-cold fucked.

Proof. Faked his own murder.

David Bowie. Invented Arcade Fire.
