THE 405 DEBATE #8
October 30, 2008,
Written by The 405
It's time to return to our regular format for the debate...the cover song!
This week it's the amazing 'Idioteque' by Radiohead. I'm in the camp that would liken covering a Radiohead song to suicide. Just look at Panic At The Disco. Ouch.
Though saying that these cover versions are pretty damn good.
Let the debate begin.

New MGMT is very Bowie-esque. [view article]

Yo Jake, where your review at, i'm curious! I think for me what made it stretch to 9/10 was teh fact it's really accessible and just occupies it's own little niche so well right now, I really can't think of a band with another recent release that I could compare them adequately to. Anyway, glad you liked it! [view article]

I love how everyone always forgets that this isn't the full lineup by a long shot and a good chunk of the best bands aren't usually announced straight away. [view article]

All three are worth a listen to be fair. I wouldn't have stretched quite as far as 9/10 (in fact, I didn't when I reviewed it elsewhere), but it is very good. Dusty Fruit is probably my favourite track (the early version of it, "Don't Trust the Dusty Fruit", is also very good!). [view article]
