  • “Bulletproof…I wish I was” (Radiohead Acoustic Cover) – The Laptop Sessions

    Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    Good evening to you!  I hope this evening finds you well and happy.  I’m bringing another familiar band (for me) for today’s session, and matter of fact, a familiar album.

    Even though I love the more recent albums from Radiohead, I just can’t seem to find a song that would make a good acoustic cover outside of the songs I know on “The Bends”.  I’ve covered three from that album, and this song marks the fourth i’ve covered.  This could possibly be the most covered album on the sessions!

    The song I have chosen is not a single on the album, and the song itself is known for it’s “spacy” feel.  The song is “Bulletproof…I wish I was” which I love for the Bb6 chord that is played at the end of the chorus.

    I’m not saying I’m tired of covering this album, but if you think there’s a Radiohead song from another album that would make a good acoustic cover, please request it.  I’m seriously lost on what else I could cover from this band.

    I also make no claim to sound like Thom Yorke, and if you’re reading this chances are you are not a person who watches an acoustic cover of a video expecting it to sound exactly the same.  And if it doesn’t, then the video is subpar.  We do quality covers on this site, and as long as you expect a cover, you will be a happy viewer.

    Sorry, had to rant a bit – I haven’t historically gotten very positive comments on Youtube about my Radiohead covers in the past.

    Well anyway, I think this is my best of the four songs from this album.  I hope you agree!

    Tomorrow I can’t wait to see what Jim has in store for his original song.  I’ll be back to watch, and I know you will be too!

  • “Nice Dream” (Radiohead Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    Monday, January 28th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    First off, thank you to Jim for filling in for me yesterday. I have returned today for my normal installment of the Laptop Sessions. All I can say is (as if i’m in the movie Airplane) don’t order the swordfish.

    Today’s installment is from the band Radiohead, a band I have enjoyed since it was introduced to me in high school. I have done one from them in a past session.

    This is called “Nice Dream” and while short, it is a cool sounding song. The album “The Bends” is one of my favorites, and there are at least 2 more songs i’d like to do off of this album for future laptop sessions.

    Can’t wait for my first installment of “Original Wednesday” in a couple of months. Keep visiting http://www.laptopsessions.com for more from Chris, Jim, and myself!

Radiohead Acoustic Rock Cover Songs and Free mp3 Downloads

Lauded as one of the most innovative and creatively talented bands making new music today, Radiohead has already had quite a career. Those who love to listen to new music were pleased to discover that their 2007 album In Rainbows would be initially released as an mp3 download…that could be bought at any price. The songwriters of Radiohead decided to let fans set their own price. More than in any of their previous albums, this songwriting team had endeavored to stay away from predictable acoustic music and used a variety of styles and instruments, most notably incorporating electronic and string elements into their new rock music. Already not exactly the easiest band to find reliable acoustic tabs for, Radiohead suggested that this was some of the most personal songwriting of their career. Many music reviews argued that this was the best album of the year. Even the Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs video blog has found it necessary to perform interpretations of their work, specifically with songwriter Jeff Copperthite looking into their back catalog for gems that could be performed acoustically.
