Hear the Guardian’s take on Radiohead’s ‘Creep’

By admin

With Radiohead bringing out a free newspaper today to mark the physical release of their new album, a group of Guardian journalists have decided to respond by recording a cover of one of the band’s best-known tracks, Creep.

Guardian Weekend columnist Tim Dowling, who plays banjo on the track, explains the thinking behind the cover version on the Guardian’s music blog.

He writes: “If a band could wade so recklessly into the Guardian’s area of expertise, could we not wade into theirs?”

Judge for yourself. Here are the Radioeds – featuring editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger on keyboard – and their cover of Creep.
