Ticklebooth has a great article up about the song “Creep”. I would try and explain it but it’s better if you just go and look for yourself.

More Radiohead tributes
Wow, tis the season for Radiohead tributes!
You probably know about the excellent Exit Music (Radiohead Tribute) (US iTunes | UK iTunes) that came out last April. If not, definitely go and check it out. Last week we told you about the Rockabye Baby tribute that will be coming out this month.
There are two more tributes coming out which you may want to check out. The first one is called Radiodread and is by the Easy Star All-Stars. The tribute is described as “The Complete Reggae Version of Radiohead’s OK Computer” and if you’re a fan of reggae, you won’t be let down. We were sent an advanced copy and though reggae is not our cup of tea, the album is very enjoyable and definitely worth the purchase. More details about the album and instructions on how to pre-order can be seen here.
And finally, we have Skeet Spirit: A Crunk Tribute to Radiohead produced by DJ GYNGYVYTUS. We haven’t heard the tracks yet, but with titles such as “No Sizzuruprises” and “Talk Show Hoes”, who can resist the temptation to check it out?
Fortunately for us, it’s available as a free download at this site.

Are you Hungary for Radiohead?
Okay, okay… that was bad. Heh…
Anyway, Radiohead resumes touring today in Budapest, Hungary. They will be part of the Sziget Festival along with other acts such as Franz Ferdinand, Ministry, and Robert Plant. As always, we love your reviews so make sure to post them over at our Gigography. Maybe some new songs tonight? We hope!

A label called Baby Rock Records is releasing Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead, an album of Radiohead’s songs transformed in to lullabies. Here’s the album description:
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The delicate sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, and other instruments will lull your little one into a sweet slumber. These versions of Radiohead are sophisticated enough for people of all ages, but sweet enough to introduce your child to rock’s smartest band. Their album Kid A imagines the scope and power of music created by a newborn child. What will your baby dream about while drifting off to these serene interpretations of Radiohead’s best-loved songs?
The album will be released on August 29, though it can be pre-ordered on their website. Check out their other albums.
