Steven Wilson is releasing his new album “Insurgentes” on March 9th and in the build up to the release, he is putting out a series of videos of himself destroying iPods in a manner of different ways.

In his own words, he is doing this because:

"My fear is that the current generation of kids who're being born into this information revolution, growing up with the Internet, cell phones, iPods, this download culture, 'American Idol,' reality TV, prescription drugs, PlayStations — all of these things kind of distract people from what's important about life, which is to develop a sense of curiosity about what's out there.”

I see it was only a crappy old iPod nano... I bet he wouldn't do that with his iPhone!
