Radiohead – Nude (James Hudson remix)

Radiohead recently held a remix competition, where you should remix “Nude” from their latest album.

This is James Hudson’s brilliant version:


Big Ideas (don’t get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.

“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.

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

I missed the contest deadline, so I’m offering it here for you to enjoy.”
