“SoliÂtude,” wrote HenÂry David ThoreÂau in Walden, “is not meaÂsured by the miles of space that interÂvene between a man and his felÂlows. The realÂly diliÂgent stuÂdent in one of the crowdÂed hives of CamÂbridge ColÂlege is as soliÂtary as a dervish in the desert.” If you’re searchÂing for soliÂtude these days, even in Times Square, you won’t need much diligence–just an iPod and a pair of earÂbuds. But watch out! Your soliÂtude might be shatÂtered by Tyler Cullen, a stuÂdent filmÂmakÂer at the School of VisuÂal Arts, who recentÂly had the audacÂiÂty to say to his felÂlow New YorkÂers: Hey You! What Song Are You LisÂtenÂing To?

Before there were iPods, Gideon D’arÂcanÂgeÂlo used to call this “WalkÂman BustÂing” — now he calls it LisÂtenÂing In: http://www.listeningin.org/
