Yer coolest video of the day spot

As cool as this video is -- New York, 1982, and all -- I can't help but thinking how awful it would be to live next door to David van Tieghem. Still, incredibly cool.

From Boing Boing:

In 1982, performance art percussionist David Van Tieghem coaxed sounds out of New York City streets. The resulting film, directed by John Sanborn and Kit Fitzgerald and aptly titled "Ear To The Ground," is a masterpiece. You might also remember Van Tieghem's name from his collaborations with Laurie Anderson.
