I don’t find this surprising at all. I’m outside the 18-24 bracket, but I’ve repeatedly done the math on whether iTunes subscriptions to my favorite shows, including The Daily Show and Colbert, would be cheaper than the sum of my cable bills each month. Cable is annoying. I don’t want it, but I also have this fear of something like 9/11 or a major snow storm happening and not having CNN or MSNBC or local news and missing out on ESPN and sports programming. Of course, this is why the cable companies are afraid of a la carte programming. I’d have 6 channels and would turn off the rest.
This clip has been making the rounds on the Internet, so odds are you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, you should watch it, preferably in HD at Vimeo. At the very least, click the title of this post to see it full size.
The premise is simple: Matthew Harding took a trip to 42 countries to film short clips of him doing a silly dance, sometimes alone, sometimes with lots of local folks, often in beautiful locations. The result is this 4:28 video.
I’m proud to share the fact that this guy is from Connecticut. They don’t call us nutmeggers for nothing.
Update: The song is (called Praan) is available at Amazon’s MP3 store. The web site for the project is, appropriately, wherethehellismatt.com, where there are more videos and maps.

What suprises me is the loyalty to radio. With my iPod, I’d give up radio in a heartbeat.
