Ah, Saturday morning. The dripping sounds of night rain outside my room.

Housemates emerging from their post-whirlwind-tour funk. Time to hit the couch and go you tubing.

As Lou says, these players are my new favourite thing. i think they’re in the UK though, East London. They played Glastonbury this year. Brassroots playing Karma Police, somewhere in London.

via YouTube – Brassroots – Karma Police Radiohead.

They also do a version of 7 Nation Army. Ooh yeah, i want them to play in Melbourne.

Seems to be a few bands around with similar names: Here’s their Myspace just to be sure. And yes i think this album is theirs too, over at Last.fm.

While on the topic of Dreadlock-inspired Radiohead covers, who could go past Radiodread from the Easy All Stars!! Here’s No Surprises, with the original video.

i think it’s going to be this kind of Saturday. Clothing sales, picnics in the rain, exotic midnight parties.

Laid back.

This is too hilarious.

Never heard of it before, but microsoft has a program called songsmith, which puts a backing track to your vocals. So people added in vocals from famous songs to find out what would happen. Here’s the murder of one Radiohead classic.

You’ll find more examples of songicide over on the original article in the Times (uk). (And more on youTube of course.)

Seriously the company should be charged with songslaughter.
(is that songs-laughter or song-slaughter?)

Unlike garage band from apple which i’ve heard inspires creativity.
go microsoft, go far.

Plus, someone’s had a go at songsmithing one of Obama’s speeches.
