Oh geez. KCRW & Starbucks are teaming up to release 'Sounds Eclectic: The Covers Project'. The album, which will be available on March 13th in most major cities, will include The Flaming Lips' take on Radiohead's 'Knives Out' and Damien Rice's version of the band's first massive single, 'Creep'. For Radiohead enthusiasts, these covers aren't exactly new but I have mixed feelings about hearing them at Starbucks, of all places.Also, what's probably more upsetting is that album sales will NOT be going to a charity. No, not even partially. According to Bitchfork, 'proceeds from album sales will assist the station in digitizing its huge music library'.
Err, I love you KCRW, but I don't know about this one. Anyone else as ambivalent as me?
