Fantastic video. I’m proud of you, bro. About the pics, the syncopation, and of course the music. Read a little ways back to some missed posts – saw your mention of NIN and Dolby and Jarre. My vote to Dolby and (hopefully not too embarrassing) HoJo. Downloaded (free iTunes S.O.T.W.??) something called “Slip Away (Steve Angello & the Young Punk Remix) of the Jones classic. Pretty darn good. I think Howard couldn’t complain. Probably too cheery for you these days.
Speaking of iTunes, there’s some free holiday sampler album on there right now. Free! 20 songs from the likes of Amy Grant, Weezer, and Stephen Colbert. It sounds like a playlist created by a 14-year old, but where else could you get Sarah McLachlan and Barry Manilow (I love Manilow!) on the same “album”? There’s only, maybe, 5% of english-speaking peoples who have the musical depth and intellectual manliness to appreciate that compilation.
So accolades and more to you for your journey, your photographing of it, and your post-production work. I’m really glad for you. The video, the eventual movie, the broadway musical, and the hollywood adaptation of the musical, and the cover band renditions of the hollywood adaptation of the musical… I await it all. I’m dead curious to this book (novel?) idea, so I’ll have to get my copy when it hits my B&N. I’ve started a small collection of books about people who bike across America or other vast expanses ( I trust you’ve heard of the David Byrne book, the Ewan McGregor chronicles… etc). But, yours will be the only moped-themed one-man journey, and I have a strong feeling that it will remain the quintessential moped excursion travel book forever. Will it be under “Transportation”, “Travel” or “Personal Essays”… I can’t wait to see where Books-A-Trillion puts it.
Read “The Power of Less” by Leo Babauta. Yes, there is a website (as if you couldn’t Bing it up yourself – http://thepowerofless.com/. I’ll let you decide whether I wrote “read” as in past-tense of my own actions or “read” as in a command for you. I’m trying to avoid being overly dictatorial with friends and I find that, among other things, being vague and meaningless helps people like me more.
Cool video, Scott!
