Your Robot Overlords

About Me

In a galaxy far, far away there existed a race of super intelligent mechanoids. Where they came from or who built them was unknown (even to them) but their music was sweet bliss to all who heard it (or else!). Throughout the galaxy all lifeforms agreed that their melodies were unsurpassed and no they really didn't want to be squished like beetles. The mammoth metal monsters sat back and surveyed their work and god damn it, it was good! But across the trackless wastes of space sounds were born on radiowaves, sounds that tormented all those who heard them. The Atomic-powered brains of the robots were sent into a rage by the dreadful sounds and after almost two hours of suffering, it was decided. The music known as skiffle must be destroyed. Setting off on a vast journey they travelled for decades towards the source of the din. Year after year they moved silently and purposefully towards their destination. In 2007 they finally arrived.....at Earth.
