Biggie views askance. Considers idea. Rebukes it.

Biggie says, "No. Not even".

I was thinking the white Tupac. I haven't noticed many posthumous Biggie releases, although I really haven't been paying attention.

Yeah, try and find a "known" act that doesn't have a string tribute of some sort. Who buys these things? I've never heard of anyone who actually bought one. If you have . . . why?

Hell, someone once made a string tribute to PopTodd. It was called "The Life of a Chicago Power-Popster"

I buy all of those tribute to Radiohead CDs (well, not the electronic and guitar tributes). They just put out a Bluegrass tribute, which is actually pretty good. I know they're lame (doing tributes to bands who have only one album, then adding a track written by the quartet is absolutely pointless---like Velvet Revolver, for instance), but I like hearing how different styles of musicians interpret a band like Radiohead's music. I'm speaking of things like the Christopher O'Riley stuff (first album is great, the second one is a little plodding), the 2 different string quartet takes on "Idioteque" (one just focuses on the Paul Lansky sample, the other is percussive and sounds a little like Elliot Goldenthal's Heat score), and the new bluegrass version of "Myxomatosis." Some of this ridiculous cash-in stuff is actually pretty good.

Search "String Quartet Tribute" in "albums" on allmusic.com. Quite a list there. P.O.D., Jet, AFI, U2, Jewel, Madonna..........

If you haven't heard jazz pianist Brad Mehldau's takes on a number of Radiohead songs, you're missing out. Hmm . . . perhaps time for a cool little mix . . .

Yeah, those are good as well. His new "Knives Out" is pretty great.
