Just made my Friday 🙂
Really awesome, I made a post about it at my blog. Thanks for the link! In case you wonder, I found you trough my friend’s blog.
eugh, thats just ..wrong.
You can’t just reggae up Radiohead like that. It should be left in its proper natural form.
Have a listen Conor, I think it works quite well. I’ll be buying it.
I think it was an interesting thing to do, but it kind of destroys the radiohead way!
Then again, if you like Reggae, then their version of Airbag, you must like!
I wonder how Climbing up the walls would sound, because that is a very dreary type of song, and turning that into reggae I thought would be impossible.
It’s cool, it gives perspective on diffrent styles of music. OK Computer is a great album!
It’s another gimmick like that band that did country version of their songs!
Collaborations out the wazoo. That Citizen Cope Song is chill.
