Boston Typewriter Orchestra

Click to Play

I interviewed the Boston Typewriter Orchestra at The Paradise Rock Club in Boston. These guys make music using old manual typewriters. I spoke with Derrik Albertelli who told me how the band got started and Alex Holman who talked about making music with a typewriter. I was there during their sound check for a show where they were opening for Boston favorites, The Dresden Dolls. You can hear Amanda Palmer in the backgroud at the start of the interview if you listen closely. This report originally aired on Rocketboom on December 12, 2006.

In this video I interview Matthew Hincman about his park bench installation at Jamaica Pond in Boston.

Flash Version of Matthew Hincman Park Bench Interview

I've been following the mystery of the bench since it appeared at the pond one day and then vanished.

It then reappeared and I got Matthew to tell us about it.

You're that Videoblogging Guy

I was in Boston doing an intro to a Rocketboom field report, and someone walked by and recognized me.

I love it when he does a double-take.
