If you're going to nitpick about the excessively worded sentence, it's probably also worth pointing out that Cory had the name wrong. Kid Koala. He is a DJ, but he doesn't use the term in his name.

Kid Koala. He is a DJ, but he doesn’t use the term in his name.

I've never heard anyone call him DJ Kid Koala. Here's a video of Kid Koala demonstrating the gramophone usage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtO-DHNQzV4 Or even just “Kid Koala”.

Nitpicking, but that's wordy.  "Canadian musician DJ Kid Koala", or even "DJ Kid Koala" would more than suffice.  A few articles down, there was no need to say "An English musician called Morrisey".  Nitpicking done. Kid Koala is great.  A fun intersection of music, graphic arts, animation, crafts (in this case), and a general sense of fun.  Try his take on Basin Street Blues for more - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItYp6ctPGI8 “A Canadian musician called DJ Kid Koala…”

When I saw that Stefan Segmeister did it as part of his Masters thesis in 1993, I felt that someone should take it farther. This one looks elegant and simple. Mechanical sound reproduction, oh what a joy. I always liked this idea. When I saw that Stefan Segmeister did it as part of his Masters thesis in 1993, I felt that someone should take it farther.
