So, in my downloading obsession with Radiohead, I've come across several of these "string tribute albums." I know lots of other really random bands (hello, Simple Plan) have had their albums put through these silly "string machines," but to be honest, as easy as it is to make fun of these albums, I have a shady love for them.

But this is based solely on the fact that they are interpreting Radiohead....and that there's really no black and white, one simple way to go about it. Due to the complexity of Radiohead's genius, it has to be complicated to try and put every instrument, every sound effect, every waver in Thom's voice shoved into a cello solo. So, in listening to these albums, it makes me appreciate the real thing so much more...not because these are wasted efforts, but because it helps to place perspective on such strange endevors.

But if this sounds like your cup of tea, try True Love Waits or Hold Me To This, both by Christopher O'Riley. These are actually piano tributes, and are the most unique breakdown of Radiohead's work I've heard since...well, Radiohead.

Anyway. I was feeling nerdy and thought I would write a bit. But, I'm out for now. Deuces.
