Gizmodo has a terrifying video up this morning - a cover of Radiohead’s “Nude”, created by a gentleman named James Houston. Mr. Houston assembled his robot chorus out of an old scanner, a dot matrix printer, and an array of hard-drive speakers to give you an idea of what music will sound like when all the humans are dead.

Resist the tempation to close your browser after the first 60 seconds of this turns out to be nothing but a squealing 56k modem. You will be rewarded for your patience when the spinning disks and clunky flatbed scanner sync up to make beautiful music together. Not since Beck’s Gameboy Variations has anyone tapped our nostalgia for obsolete technology so effectively.
