Band Of The Day #24 - RADIOHEAD x MARK RONSON x THE LOVING HAND

Returning from a journey into the cobwebbed corners of their innards, Radiohead are back from the uncharted flux of Kid A through Hail to the Thief and approaching the more immediate sounds of their past on new album In Rainbows. It’s doubtful, though, that they’ll ever come full circle, (how could anyone after 'Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors'?), so ‘Just’ looks to remain the closest Thom Yorke will ever get to a pop pout. Surely set to feature on the Greatest Hits currently being compiled by former stable EMI, it’s to other third parties that the task of remixing 'Just'  falls, (though the thought of Guy Hands molesting the ones and twos is a brilliantly harrowing one), first to Grammy-winning producer du pomp Mark Ronson and then to The Loving Hand. A remix of a cover version? How very 2.0, and how very (nu-)Radiohead.
