This is why I need to live in Toronto sometime soon. It's my 25th birthday today and I need to accomplish all of my goals, both short and long term goals, before I eventually expire. This video makes me want to board a TTC train with an 80's boom box with a cassette deck and blast the hell out of my favourite song as loud as I can, whether people like it or not.

They do this to practice for public performance on stage. just like public speaking, stage performance must be practiced.

Completely fantastic ... and I'm very excited to see Twisted String at the Vancouver Island Musicfest next week!

[blowinbamboo]

[chelseasleep]

First tune is Little Green Mark, second tune is Go Crazy, and the third is a chunk of The Driving Song (aka Are We There Yet??)
