    He may be old, he may drive a first generation Prius, but this dude in Pasadena kicks out the jams harder than pretty much anyone these days.

    Meanwhile, two other videos have surfaced, both shot by Dean Spunt (AKA the dude from No Age). Interestingly, they are in two different vehicles, one of which almost looks like a city car. Is the recorder virtuoso a city or county employee?
