radiohead, nude remix video, for gadget freaks

June 6th, 2008 by Dave Allen


Big Ideas (Don’t get any) from 1030 on Vimeo.

A user on Vimeo with the handle, 1030, has taken some of Thom Yorke’s sarcasm and piss-taking and in that spirit come up with a wonderful little video. Be patient with this one as it’s worth it. It kicks into gear around 1:40. As he/she says “It doesn’t sound great, as it’s not supposed to.”

I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit. Based on the lyric (and alternate title) “Big Ideas: Don’t get any” I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they’re trying their best to do something that they’re not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (rhythm & lead)
Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums
HP Scanjet 3c - Bass Guitar
Hard Drive array - Act as a collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX
