This video has been floating around the internet for just about 9 months, and was even linked to by Thom Yorke on the Radiohead blog. It came about because of Radiohead’s remix challenges, and specifically for Nude. What’s it like? Well, in the words of the guy who created it:

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.

Very, very cool. Stumbled upon it again last night, and ended up watching it 2-3 times.

Tonight, choosing shows is going to be difficult. You’ve got the electronic option with our Chillville Presents Fujiya & Miyagi show at Emo’s, a groovy hip-hop choice with G. Love & Special Sauce at Stubbs, or a Bollywood dance party at Mohawk.

Saturday, two of the three members of the Pnuma Trio are going to be thowing a dubstep and electronic shindig at the Parish, whose sound system is going to be making the floor shake until late into the evening. If you’re still in a dancing mood after that, Vinyl Entertainment is putting on a late-night party at 501 Studios for the release of the Diagonals’ EP. The Ugly Beats are also playing, and with free beer and a party-til-dawn promise, this is gonna be the place to be if you’re out after 2 (though if you want to see the bands you should get there closer to midnight). RSVP on Do512.com for guaranteed entry.

Sunday, if you’re not headed to see the Pretenders at Stubbs, definitely make your way to the Mohawk for Brightblack Morning Light. This psychedelic folk duo makes some gorgeously mellow sounds that will be the perfect end to your weekend, and it’s an early show on the outside stage, so you can’t even complain that it’s a work night. No, really, we can’t recommend these guys enough.
