Music

Radiohead fans should note that Vernon Reid covers "National Anthem," which is louder than his cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence," and that Towers of London quote "Creep" in "Fuck It Up (Acoustic)," which is twangy in the manner of twangier songs by New York's Sex Slaves. Whose fans would also probably like Pittsburgh's Science Fiction Idols and maybe Jersey's DC Snipers and maybe New York's Jana Peri a lot.
