Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead

[U2Man]

If you're not a radiohead fan and don't like piano-music, this is probably not something that you will like. however if the opposite is true, this is highly recommendable.

Christopher O'Riley has recorded two albums consisting of Radiohead songs played on piano only. Let Down, Exit Music and Paranoid Android are amazing.

if anyone wants to have a listen, drop me an email.

thanks for thinking of me, puppy.

i actually have true love waits, and think it's great for all the reasons i thought it would be:

i think radiohead's arrangements have a sort of classical feel to them already, so translating them in a more traditionally classical sense works. it's the strength of the source material, really.

yeah, it's pretty good. actually, it's amazing what he's done.

but i guess i just prefer the originals? i sort of see him like a cover band, which he is...

tremendous talent though

to be fair
the amount of shit he deals with from the tossers would make anyone act like an asshole.

I used to have one of his albums, but I can't find it now. It obviously didn't make the transfer over from my old desktop to my laptop...might send you an email later tonight, U2man.

Oh, and his version of Let Down is gorgeous.
