Via Gizmodo: The Alunda Church Choir wanted to see what their giant earth phonograph, the terrafon, would sound like if they dragged it across the ground.

Tune in next week when they will be dragging a 400-pound Walkman across the sidewalk.

(NB: This video is 11 minutes long. I made it through quite a few of those minutes and then fast-forwarded. Unfortunately, there ISN’T a giant LP on the other side of the field. Unfortunately, there IS a screeching sound reverberating in my ear five minutes later. Now that I’ve told you what happens, you have no reason to watch the entire thing unless, like me, you are an inadvertent sucker for punishment, and recently agreed to go to two dozen 30-minute sets of avant guard jazz performed in the back of a Philadelphia Ethiopian restaurant on a warm day. Eleven minutes? That’s kid’s stuff.)
