It's Rodeohead, (MP3 download), the radiohead country and western medley. Please note there is absolutely no reason to post this apart from it's Friday, it's a bank holiday weekend and it made me laugh. If you're looking for in-depth then move along, nothing to see here...

Frighteningly enough, I find Rodeohead compelling, or at least compelling enough to Google them. Here's a little background http://www.chrishardwick.com/downloadables.html . Plus I like the phrase "what better way to honor them than by running their music through the beer-swilling, ass-kicking hick-filter of my homeland, the American South."

This is tremendous. How very well done; how spot on; how cleanly executed: this is not just some half-assed joke. Does anyone have access to that bluegrass version of The Wall I heard about a while back?

cortex - all i know is that the band name is called luther wright and the wrongs. they also did a version of comfortably numb that was just as good.

Be sure to also check out their Tron rock opera. It starts with a song about the digitized orange. Awesome doesn't begin to describe this.

Actually, kind of interesting. The Tron rock opera also features the guy from Home Movies, Brendon Small. Which makes sense, if you've ever seen their franz kafka rock opera.

The Austin Lounge Lizards did a terrific bluegrass version of "Brain Damage/Eclipse" as well. In the oppsite covers direction, Jason & The Scorchers' cowpunked versions of "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town," and "Absolutely Sweet Marie."

To date I've heard bluegrass, quartet, jazz, classical piano, and marching band rhythm section versions of Paranoid Android. Still waiting for the nose harp version ;)

Local band The Devil's Workshop Big Band do a mean cover of Radiohead's Morning Bell. (mp3 links to that song and others from the same album)

It's brilliant-- drop dead hilarious if you're a Radiohead fan, but still funny even if not. The guitar solo from Paranoid Android recast as a take on Duelling Banjos alone is brilliant (not to mention the "God loves his children" "Copy that, ten four" line). There's something like 19 songs thrown into the mix here so that, weirdly enough, it's actually not a bad summary of their work (wish they'd included a few bars of Idioteque, though. That would have rocked.) And the bass line from The National Anthem on jaw harp nearly killed me.

That's Chris Hardwick of MTV's Singled Out fame. His stand up routine is also quite funny.
