Gord sez, "Brooklyn artist/musician/way-out thinker, Ranjit Bhatnagar, rigs up a home made tin can orchestra and Theremin to perform Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy.'" Man, that's one crazy junk drumbot -- like the Fat Albert percussion section. Link (Thanks, Gord!) Link (Thanks, Gord!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Clever.

  • Eric Gjerde

    Hooray, Ranjit! I always love to see your crazy and fascinating musical automata.

    Accordions in the trees still remains my favorite!

  • mdhatter

    I think listening to that whole song would make you crazy.

    i would love to hear the kazoo version of this song.

    And here I was hoping it would be Patsy Cline.

  • lazlo pink

    I’m guessing that is the same Ranjit that once haunted talk.bizarre back in the 90s? I always assumed Cory D. was a cave newt after seeing the use of ‘cow orkers’ in his posts. Cheers and great work.

    I kept reading ‘drunkbot’, finally had to pronounce ‘junk drumbot’ slowly out loud..
