Bike Holiday Music... TOO COOL!

A friend of mine (Bustertb) posted this on another forum... I KNEW you'd all appreciate it! Happy holidays!
---We've heard there's some cool holiday music on the web, thanks to Specialized. Cool because not only is it well done, it's done with bike parts. An experimental musician (and cyclist) named Flip Barber is credited with the production, which, according to BikeBiz.com, is "stunning." It's a rendition of Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from "The Nutcracker Suite." The glockenspiel and clarinet melody is created with spokes. The cello and violin pizzicatos are made by plucking derailleur cables. The tingly triangle is a tap on a disc brake. The percussion is a medley of shifting, coasting, braking, clipping into pedals, back-spinning, and air pssss-ing out of tires. You can hear the result at
