Most awesomest remix

Radiohead held a competition to see how people would remix "Nude" from In Rainbows. This is an entry that wasn't submitted in time. Which is a real shame.

Even if you aren't into Radiohead, it is definitely worth having a watch of the video

It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to.

Personally I do think it sounds great, though perhaps the visuals help.

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

Nice, that's pretty cool. Was a bit sceptical at the start but turned out to be very impressive.

same here - I was expecting one of Rick A hits to pop up.

I haven't heard the original song, but this is surprisingly good

That's just incredibly crazy, yet very creative. It's a shame he didn't finish it in time for the deadline, because it's absolutely awesome! I can't get my head around the hard drives as the vocals though...totally mad. Cheers for the OP for posting this, though, it's a fantastic video.
