A Complete King of Limbs Cover Already Happened, and I'm Even a Little Late With It.

Apparently there's already a cover of Radiohead's less than week-old King of Limbs album. It's the work of Robotanists who challenged themselves to put together the entire eight-song effort within 24 hours of the album release. It's a fun project, if a clear publicity stunt. But consider this: I am in Moscow, you are wherever you are, and suddenly we're both listening to this band from LA.  So points for efficiency. And I have to say it's not half bad, given the timeframe.  



You can download the whole thing free from bandcamp.
