Ok Computer: A Tribute [MUSIC]

A while ago, came across a tribute album developed in honor of the 10th Anniversary of Radiohead's album Ok Computer. Not sure it got the attention it deserved then, so figured if there was ever a place to share it, this would be it.


It features a motley crew of bands from all genres so there is bound to be something for everyone. Whether you prefer the more poppy homages or more experimental flattery, all accounted for here.

'best thing you've ever had...'

The Twelves Remix Everybody [MUSIC]

Brazilian DJ Duo, Joao Miguel & Luciano Oliveira--The Twelves, are not named for an obscure Mayan prophecy, rather the strange coincidence that has to do with their birthdays falling on the same day of the same year. But then again, it very well could be an ancient prediction that they would remix the #$&! out of nearly anything they could get their hands on. Cause they have done exactly that.

Featured on their remix album are 80's favorite A-Ha, along with Daft Punk, Groove Armada, Radiohead and Fleet Foxes. Also making an appearence are the Brits: Metric & Black Kids. The list goes on, but let's just skip straight to the music.

Radiohead - There There (The Twelves Remix)

The Virgins - Rich Girls (The Twelves Remix)

Radiohead Hits The Road - 2012 Tour



If you were one of the unlucky ones [like me] who got locked out of their most recent two-day stint at Roseland Ballroom back in September, I empathize with you...

But look!

On the horizon hope lingers! Radiohead has just announced their largest tour since 2008, with dates and cities [and countries] spanning 10 months beginning in February 2012. No mention yet of a return to NY, but I imagine its still a possibility [especially given the rumor that they were supposed to play Occupy Wall St]..

The band has been recently promoting their highly enjoyable and totally necessary remix album of The King Of Limbs and we can expect that their will be some interesting live renditions with all that time spent on the road.

Tickets go on sale beginning Nov. 12 (excepting the Feb. 29 date in Tampa, FL, which will go on sale Nov. 19), with a four-ticket limit per person. The W.A.S.T.E. fan presale will begin Nov. 9 [today].

Don't blame Ticketmaster if for any issues...They can go to hell!
