Comedian Covers Radiohead?

2007_07_arts_okstereogum.jpgStereogum has raised the bar with their latest endeavor, a tribute to Radiohead's OK Computer on the album's 10th anniversary. Musicians from all over have contributed, some of the New York bands you may recognize: Vampire Weekend, My Brightest Diamond, Doveman and...who's this Samson Dalonoga?

We think this guy sounds suspiciously like a character David Cross has been known to take on. We're certain we've heard this voice on a stage downtown at some point. What do you think? (Listen to the tracks here.) Either way, we're happy they didn't ask comedian/singer/songwriter John Mayer to contribute.

Hopefully we'll get the real Radiohead in town again soon - the band was in New York last June for some smaller shows. Since then they've been working on (and blogging about working on) a new album, but for now - other bands covering their music will have to tide over the masses.

awesome! Thanks for the notice

It's worth mentioning that OK Computer was covered in its entirety last year by the reggae collective Easy Star All-Stars -- yes, it was reggae versions of each track on the album. It was called Radiodread.
