I can’t say anything this song doesn’t say brilliantly. Comedian Adam Buxton takes on the Radiohead remix contest with his own entry, which cuts through the hype brings a bit of wit to TV incidental music and remixing alike. And, really, how often do you get to say "Radiohead" and "rap" in the same sentence? Take my mechanical rights, please!

See, there, I said something. It wasn’t very good. Just so listen to the song and thank me later, okay?

    Adam Buxton is definitely at the top of his game! Here's a great clip of his appearance on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, talking about mushrooms:

    And of course, his take on movie and music piracy, poking fun at both sides of the issue:

    Brilliant. Adam forgot to mention –

    Sigur Ros – dramtatic with edge.
    Massive Attack – understated drama and tension.
    Air – always good on a makeover show or UK BBC 3.

    Lazy directors are quite happy to clear the complete album so its no suprise to hear every track on one programme sometimes.
