Even though he’s been fab-from-birth, it wasn’t ’til Ronson “covered” Radiohead back in ’06 that heads outside the NYC/London/Tom-Kat-wedding DJ scene turned. First just a single, then included on Exit Music: Songs With Radio Heads and given a video, setting the template for what his future covers, like his takes on the Smiths and Coldplay for Version, would sound like. Since “Just” was Mark’s first self-created authentic shit to really catch hold, though, it reappeared on last year’s LP — and, here, gets yet another video treatment. It’s the cover that will never die. (This time it’s more clearly Mark’s video because he plays the entire band and, more importantly, his name is on the kick drum.) Before you ask why he doesn’t write his own songs — the subtitled janitor beat you to it.
Version is out via Columbia.

Does version really count as a debut LP? What about ‘Here comes the fuzz’?

wait a second. this is a radiohead cover.
that’s a disgrace. i just puked a little.
i heard this shit at forever 21 or some store, shopping with my little sis this weekend. i was scandalized. this is just awful.
as a person who loves radiohead i think this song is pretty awesome. mark ronson def puts the ronson spin on the song and while it isnt better than the original by any means its really good in its own right…
Oh come people, this is a fun cover. The fact is I think I might even prefer this. What can I say, I guess I prefer my rock a little light with the occasional heavy stuff.
the “multiple versions of one guy playing all the instruments” concept has been done before, such as in “Hey Ya”… but the video was a nice riff on the “Just” video.
