Hard n' Phirm cover a melange of Radiohead songs. In a country-western style.
This is not a half-assed joke. It's actually quite phenomenal. Download the mp3 here.

(via a MetaFilter thread which also contains links to a marching band cover of Paranoid Android and a jazz cover of Morning Bell.)

Interesting. I keep playing it over & over again!! I posted it to my Livejournal to share with friends. I'll have to share this with my coworker who loves Radiohead. She'll probably laugh at it!

I really think this whole DJ Danger Mouse thing is getting out of control.

For some reason I can't help but think that since one DJ made a good record by sample two vastly different records that anyone can do it. You know, take two records and genres that sound nothing alike, blend them together, and create your own masterpiece.

This song has nothing to do with that. This is a live band doing a medely of Radiohead songs, where Modest Mouse studio mixed two records together. If a DJ were to studio mix together a country western album with a Radiohead album, then you might have a valid point.

Sounds much better than anything Radiohead has done in the last 6 or 7 years.

Not my thing. But it does remind me of a version of The Wall that Luther Wright and the Wrongs did all bluegrassed up. That was killer.

you're my new best friend. i love the Rebuild The Wall album. biggrin
"Well, howdy!"
"Hey! is there anybody in there?....."
Goodbye Blue Sky was the best though.

And, yeah, The Gourds did Gin & Juice

and this has nothing to do with DJ Danger Mouse. People have been re-doing classics in a different style since way before the Grey Album.
Luther Wright & The Wrongs, Easy Star All-Stars, Johnny Cash, Dread Zepplin, Hayseed Dixie, Dead Kennedys. Leningrad Cowboys, and Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine all come off the top of my head as coming before DJ DM.
Hell, even Blue Man Group covered White Rabbit.

Did anyone else notice that the "Hard" of Hard n' Phirm stands for Chris Hardwick, better known as the host of MTVs 'Singled Out,' 'Shipmates,' and one of the victims in 'House of 1000 Corpses'?

Just me? ... OK, then.

they've been doing that since the late 70's. only recently (about a year before The Grey Album was released) did the 'mash-up' thing get HUGE. download something by 2 Many Dj's or Soulwax and thats pretty recently done and damn cool (The Stooges 'No Fun' with Salt N Pepa's 'Push It').

Grandmaster Flash brought it into the mainstream with 'Grandmaster Flash and the Wheels Of Steel' which is Queen and Blondie cut up together. 'Rappers Delight' is basically them rapping over a cut-up Chic song with a few more beats thrown in.

the Dj DangerMouse thing is only really a natural progression. its damn well done, but its hardly a new thing.

actually, IMHO, "Anyone Can Play Radiohead" proves definitively that, in fact, not anyone can play radiohead. i thought that was one of the worst tribute albums EVAR!!!!!

strung out is fucking awesome though. they're music really lends itself to classical transposition. (is that a word?)

edited to say that Rodeohead rocks my lame ass, though.

I noticed that too. I was about to post that until I saw someone else noticed it.

Man this song rules. I think the best part is the sudden whipcrack halfway through. Beautiful.
