Updated: They Might Be Giants | Meet The Elements | *Not* Live on Jimmy Fallon

via YouTube.

Here’s a rather exceptional live TV performance of TMBG’s new song, Meet The Elements.

The Jimmy Fallon show video was removed from YouTube by the copyright police, so I’ve replaced that video with this live, first ever performance of Meet The Elements. These moving pictures were shot at an all ages show at the Union County Music Fest in Clark, New Jersey.

Rodeohead | Radiohead Bluegrass Cover Medley By Hard ‘n Phirm

Audio MP3

This remarkable cover medley by Hard ‘n Phirm entitled Rodeohead comes by way of my FriendFeed friend, aka Dead Silence.

The medley features the sounds of banjos, violins, a Jew’s harp, a steam locomotive whistle and a CB radio exchange.  Somehow, the Radiohead lyrics transform magically into the bluegrass style.

The Radiohead songs covered, in order of appearance are:

  • Planet Telex
  • 2+2=5
  • No Surprises (Instrumental)
  • Optimistic
  • You And Whose Army
  • Karma Police
  • Knives Out
  • Creep
  • The National Anthem (Instrumental)
  • Morning Bell
  • Just (Brief Guitar Riff)
  • Fake Plastic Trees
  • Nice Dream
  • Paranoid Android
  • Subterranean Homesick Alien (Instrumental)

I found the MP3 source at larrysinger.com.
