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. ESCD15.jpg 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.

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead

Rockabye Baby
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.

Stanley Donwood is Dazed and Confused

There is an interview with Stanley Donwood in the latest issue of Dazed and Confused, available now in fine bookstores. Here’s a little snippet:

Stanley Donwood has been ?in? with Radiohead since his Exeter uni days. Here, he gives a glimpse into what inspires visuals every bit as inspiring as Thom Yorke?s music.
?After many false starts I began working on the series of pictures that I called ?London Views?. The series eventually became a panorama that stretches from the outer reaches of the Thames estuary upstream as far as Battersea, destroying the Flood Barrier, Canary Wharf, The Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament and much more besides.?
Read the full article in Issue *40 of Dazed and Confused magazine.

And now for something completely different: Thom is a zombie!
