Prince Covers Radiohead’s “Creep” At Coachella

Prince Coachella 2008 Live Concert

Easily one of one of the most talked-about shows from this weekend’s Coachella was Prince’s centerpiece performance. One of the biggest surprises from the concert came during Prince’s big finale - a lyrically-adjusted cover of Radiohead’s “Creep.” Packed with a ripping guitar solo and extended falsetto crooning, this one song may have delivered the $4.8 million worth of Prince that festival goers and promoters were expecting. Check out the MP3 and video of the performance below.

Radiohead Perform Green “House of Cards” On Conan

Radiohead Late Night With Conan O’Brien House of Cards Live Green Thom Yorke

Conan O’Brien’s first-ever musical guest, Radiohead, dropped by his show last night for a “green performance” of their song “House of Cards.” As Thom Yorke explains, the environmentally conscious band (one of the top ten, actually) chose not to fly from London to New York because a transatlantic flight would’ve left a carbon footprint equivalent to driving a car for a year. Check out their performance below.
