Speaking of Starbucks, the coffee chain has an exclusive CD of cover songs from KCRW’s Sounds Eclectic, called Sounds Eclectic: The Covers Project. Two Radiohead songs appear on the album, which is nice. Along with the older Flaming Lips’ cover of “Knives Out”, Damien Rice’s cover of “Creep” is featured.
If you don’t want to go to Starbucks to buy the CD, you can get it straight from KCRW.
You can listen to the Flaming Lips perform a cover of Radiohead’s “Knives Out” at www.soundseclectic.com. Just click on “Flaming Lips” under the “recent programs” section. You have to download the whole hour long program, but you can forward it to the end, when the Lips play.
