Radiohead to cover Marvin Gaye?
Some of the music industry’s biggest stars, including Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, ‘N Sync, Destiny’s Child, Christina Aguilera, and Alicia Keys, are participating in sessions for a new recording of Marvin Gaye’s 1971 crossover hit “What’s Going On.” The recording is being organized in New York by producer Jermaine Dupri and U2 frontman Bono, and aims to raise money for AIDS research in Africa.
No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani, Ja Rule, Usher, Jennifer Lopez, Jagged Edge, and Radiohead are among the other acts that have been tipped to contribute to the project, which will be released under the moniker Artists Against AIDS Worldwide. Read the rest at Billboard… {thanks to marty}
In the current issue of Rolling Stone, Jennifer Aniston talks a bit about Radiohead:
“Brad said get this band Ours,” Aniston says. “Do you know them? I guess they’re one of those junior-Radiohead bands. I haven’t heard them. I imagine there must be a lot of bands like that now, because everyone wants to be Radiohead.” Shrug. “I’d like to be Radiohead. It’s not a bad thing.”
Aniston confesses that music plays a major role in her life with Brad Pitt: “We do have similar tastes – very eclectic in that we’ll listen to pretty much anything. We also go through phases together, like that band Bran Van 3000, their first album. When we started dating, we were listening to a lot of Radiohead. They just sounded so good at that point in our relationship.”
