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.

Rolling Stone is proud to premiere the video for Thom Yorke’s cover of All For the Best from the upcoming tribute disc Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy. Directed by Melinda Tupling, the video is a David Lynch-like odyssey that fits perfectly with Yorke’s stirring Erasered rendition of the Miracle Legion song. The song is also noteworthy because it features the first time the Radiohead frontman and his brother Andy Yorke, lead singer for the Unbelievable Truth, have appeared together on a song, with Andy’s background vocals complimenting his big bro’s trademark croon.
