Radiohead covers The Headmaster Ritual

I found this clip today and wanted to share it. I've never seen Radiohead have as much fun as they do recording a Smiths song about corporal punishment. I love them both.

I hear from my favorite Smiths cover project, San Francisco's This Charming Band, that they might play the Crystal Ballroom in March, which I will certainly post about here.

Crib notes for my favorite readers: Mom, do you remember when Laura was all about the Quiffed Man, Morrissey? He's the lead singer of the Smiths.

Peet: Despite what you've been told, Robert Smith is *not* the lead singer of the Smiths.

For the Halloween season, enjoy this German pop song about the Smiths, set to a video about Nosferatu. And Morrissey. So, it's a German song about a British band, and the title is "Smiths" in Japanese. Welcome to the new world order. You know, the British invented Goth, but the Germans have really perfected it.
