I’ve posted various clips of Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox in the past and with him currently on tour in the US I thought I’d share yet another recent release he posted this past September on YouTube.
Bottoms up kettlebell press
This is just like a kettlebell overhead press, but with the mass of the kettlebell pointing toward the ceiling, and it is a killer workout that helps to build shoulder strength and stability.
Give it a shot next time you’re in the gym.

Tonight is the monthly LGBT underground dance party Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) at Great Scott in Allston.
DADT organizers dare you to embrace your inner freak as they pay homage to ourselves, our community and the AHS Freak Show. Resident DJ/MC Colby Drasher will be conducting the evil debauchery with his twisted and sexy soundtrack. And Nick Day delivers terrifyingly bizarre projections around the dance floor.
The party starts at 10PM and has a $10 cover.

Roost Bistro is a cozy restaurant on Newbury Street between Fairfield and Gloucester Street that opened in the spring of 2014.
I stumbled upon Roost Bistro when I was perusing OpenTable.com for a list of available restaurants for brunch with my friend Tracey who happens to write the blog 40-Something Life.
First impressions of this new bistro were good. I liked the tiny two tiered patio overlooking Newbury Street and inside had a cozy vibe with lots of natural sunlight and colorful walls contrasted by exposed brick. The brunch menu is also really reasonable with most items ranging between $10-$12.
For this first visit I kept my order short and sweet, zeroing in on Spanish Omelette which was generously stuffed with chorizo and caramelized onions and had a side of potatoes. I won’t rave about the food because it wasn’t that kind of meal, but it was definitely tasty and has intrigued me enough to want to go back and try the bistro for dinner. Add this to your list of new places to try and let me know your thoughts. My only caveat would be the restaurant was clearly understaffed, making it tough to get coffee or our check, but since it was a pleasant morning, we filled the time people watching and chatting with each other.
Roost Bistro is located at 259 Newbury Street and open for brunch on Saturday and Sunday starting at 10:30am.

Here is another anonymous bonus fur post. Have a great Friday.
Earlier this week U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert, a Republican from Texas, made headlines after his appearance on a conservative talk radio show called, “Point of View” where he apparently went on a rant about gays in the military.
His reasoning why gays should be banned — they’ll want massages, which leaves America open to terrorism.
Really? Gay men would be too preoccupied with getting massages from each other? My response: “You are too stupid to try and reason with so would you please just STFU Rep. Gohmert.“
