Big Ideas, Don’t Get Any.



Radiohead is a very cerebral band, and they just do things differently. Their fans do things differently too. Case in point, the first video is Radiohead performing their song “Nude” from their album “In Rainbows.” The second clip is from a guy who recreated their song “Nude” by using old and outdated machines and then filmed it. Cerebral. You can hear it developing loosely at first but it really tightens up after a minute or so. It’s pretty elaborate, and obviously took some time to set up. So where does someone get an idea like this, and then muddle around until they solve it? Sometimes it seems I have trouble squeezing in things I need to be doing like dishes and mowing the lawn… “Oh honey after dinner I was going to recreate my favorite bands song using things we were going to donate to goodwill okay? And then I’m going to record it. And then I’m going to film it. And post it.” I don’t know how he did it, but it’s pretty fantastic.
