i guess this is in the vein of the rash of bluegrass tribute albums that've come out in the last few years. i may actually be interested in hearing some of this. i didn't know sugar minott was even still alive.

The Dub Side Of The Moon disc Easy Star All Stars did is incredible. I'm soooo tired of Pink Floyd, but DSotM takes it and breathes fresh life into it.

Rolling Stone wasn't too thrilled with Radiodread, but I'll probably pick that up, too, just on the strength of DSotM.

Have DJs run out of words to use as names?

I was actually sent a link last week to the first 3-4 songs on this and I have to say it wasn't terrible.

Radiohead continue to get love from musicians of every stripe. High-brow pianist Christopher O'Riley has retooled the band's music for the chin-stroking classical set on two albums. And Dub Tribute to Radiohead: I'm Not the Only Record for You was released earlier this year — as was Exit Music: Songs for Radio Heads, a compilation of electronic covers. So it's little surprise that Radiohead are getting the crunk treatment at the hands of DJ Gyngyvytus. Skeet Spirit: A Crunk Tribute to Radiohead — eight instrumental tracks being offered by the DJ as free downloads — boasts "No Sizzuruprises," "Creepin' (On Dat Ass)" and "Talk Show Hoes" among the cleverly titled tributes to England's favorite dour rockers. And the Easy Stars All-Stars' Radiodread, a reggae comp featuring toasters such as Horace Andy and Citizen Cope, hits stores Tuesday. ...

The Dears were apparently addicted to this while on the road a couple of years ago. Heh heh. Pretty funny, IMO.

don't sleep on the Radiodread comp., 'cause there are a few really good tunes on it (Toots, Horace, The Meditations versions). you'd be surprised at how cool some of the Ok Computer tunes sound in dub.

seen.

ditto. I'm a convert to their workings of DSotM. I hope this pops up on emuze.
