Video of the Day

Story goes like this.. 22 year old Korean kid records a video playing some Pachelbel and gives it to a friend who posted it on youtube. It becomes one of those internet phenomenon type things.. over 7.5 million views.. and nobody knows who the kid is until the news media tracks him down 8 months after the video was posted.. and now he's some sort of celebrity. Weird thing is.. he thinks he sucks and isn't going to pursue music and instead is at university in New Zealand studying computer science.

There's a few rough spots in his playing, but he didn't even know it was going to get posted to youtube. He says he's self taught, but he's doing some really amazing and complex stuff.. Somebody needs to kidnap him and get him in a music program. The kid has extreme talent.

CNN does a story on him here.
