Bike and drum -- followup

[urbpan]

Back in June I posted a video of a guy playing a drum while riding a bike. (here's two)

While I originally posted them in a friends-protected post, they are public on youtube.
Today I received a response from the bikedrummer himself!


yo i am that guy riding the bike and playing the drums.

isn't it neat that i found out that you posted a video about me?

well my name is joey chang and i also play the cello.
check out my songs at cellojoe.com

please write back and tell me how you were able to get your video camera ready so fast as i was riding by.

i'm serious that i am that guy. your video was taken on the riverway bikeway in boston. that area i was riding by is right by the d line stop. believe me now? the bike has a tamborine, a bucket, a cowbell, and a bunch of jinglely things.

That is so freaking cool! Modern technology and the spread of information can be so neat sometimes.

I think he goes to Berklee. I work near Hynes and I'm pretty sure I've seen the percussi-bike locked up to a tree on Mass. Ave before.

Speaking of things you'd never think would find you off LJ...

I saw a kid with Squeaky Shoes (as per your earlier post) the other day. Boy, are they squeaky! I can't imagine not getting annoyed by them as a parent. But I couldn't imagine them causing a huge controversy either :)

I posted a link to your videos on the SCUL board, wondering if anyone knew the guy. Though it sounds like this was not how he discovered them.

Also, what's up with this new format. It's really hard to read for some reason. You experimenting?

I was trying to find a way to set up my journal so that The List was at the top. In order to do it I had to get rid of the old format. I found this one to be less offensive than most, though I probably will change it again pretty soon, once I'm a little more certain that I won't ruin it, and that everyone who will find it through the Dig has done so.

That's pretty sweet.

"isn't it neat that i found out that you posted a video about me?" I'm not sure how to interpret that particular line there. Is it genuine, sarcastic, standoffish???

That's also some pretty incredible sound for a bucket. I would have thought it an actual drum, for sure.
