mark ronson feat alex greenwald - just (radiohead cover) (mp3)

well here's something you don't see everyday, a hip-hop cover of a radiohead track that doesn't make you want to poke your eardrums with a screwdriver. this fantastic piece of music is the first thing to trickle out from the long-rumoured "radiohead versus" project, with hip hop artists covering their favourite tracks from thom & co.

i was initially worried that my blinkered pro-radiohead bias was clouding my judgement on this track, but after playing it out now i know it's not just me who loves it. whatever possessed mark ronson to cover the track in a u.s. high school big band style is something i'm struggling to understand, but you can't say it doesn't work!

i can't really point you anywhere to buy this, it was available on monday on a super-limited 12" at piccadilly, but i think that online auction house is going to be the only place to get one now ...
