The above article is about how Prince performed Radiohead's song, "Creep", at the Coachella music festival. Some fans put videos of the performance on YouTube. Prince's people complained and got the videos taken off of YouTube, but the song is not his. Radiohead has no problem with the song being on YouTube so there is no copyright violation going on. The article will explain it better than me, but it just goes to show how dumb artists look when they try to protect their music way too much. It makes me think of how annoying Metallica was when the band members were complaining about their music being on Napster back in the day.
Here is the song, Creep, by Radiohead. I was in love with the song when I first saw the video for it way back in the early 90s. I think I watched the video on MTV's great show, 120 Minutes. It would be nice if a show like that one was still around.
Radiohead - Creep
Here is the video ...
Here is a cover of Radiohead's "Karma Police" by Tori Amos (I may have posted this before) ...
Here is Radiohead's version ...
In other news, Madonna's "Give It 2 Me" video is out and about on the internet now. Here it is on YouTube, but don't be surprised if this video gets taken down since it has already has been taken down numerous times ...
The quality of that video is awful, but I am sure a high-quality version will be uploaded to YouTube sometime soon. I am not crazy about the video, but it's not that bad. People probably wonder why Pharrell Williams is all over the video, but the "Hard Candy" album is almost more his than Madonna's. I think he produced the majority of it, and his voice can be heard throughout the album (along with the voices of Justin Timberlake, Timabaland, and Kanye West).
I have been listening to Madonna's Hard Candy in my car a lot lately. My car's stereo is always the true test of the way a CD sounds. I like the album so far, but I haven't made it all the way through the album because I tend to stick to songs # 2, 3, and 4, which are 4 Minutes, Give It 2 Me, and Heartbeat, respectively. I love the way Give It 2 Me begins right after 4 Minutes. There's something about the change in tempo or sound or whatever that is very refreshing.
Give It 2 Me has so much going on in the background that the speakers in my car luckily pick up. I love the electronic sound of it. I also love the lyrics after the "Get stupid" diversion ...
You're only here to win
Get what they say?
You're only here to win
Get what they do?
They'd do it too
If they were you
You done it all before
This ain't nothing new
I don't really like the lyrics for what they say. I just like the way they sound in the song. I do like the line, "They'd do it too if they were you".
