OK Computer Tribute Album
Typically, tribute albums are comprised of generic reproductions that suck the life out of great work and cash in on the legacy of a great artist (e.g. the recent John Lennon tribute album that featured the likes of Avril Lavigne on "Imagine" and Christina Aguilera on "Mother"). OKX: A Tribute To OK Computer breaks the mold by both being artistic (for the most part) and free (via music blog stereogum.com). The album features lesser known artists taking Radiohead's familiar tunes to interesting new places. Of course, a couple of the performances stay disappointingly true to the original. Highlights include Cold War Kid's nearly acapella take on "Electioneering" and Doveman's haunting interpretation of "Airbag." Download the tribute at www.stereogum.com/okx. It's worth checking out. After all, it's free.
