yay for good tunes.


So the European classical pianist Christopher O’Riley paired up with Shostakovich to jet out some radiohead – inspired tunes at the Miller Theatre on Friday – news that is exciting to me, since the three components are all amazing musicians. They say that the physical attractions were a bit overbearing at best, and took away from the music. Disappointing, in my opinion nothing more is needed in such a well selected tri-style from these guys. Bringing a serious and intense to Shostakovich’s melodies, O’Riley also paired his radiohead do-overs with his art-rock band inspirations to create, I am sure, a profound presentation. Radio head covers such as of “Motion Picture Soundtrack” and “Paranoid Android” were among the hits the two musicians arranged in an new fashion, while still bringing the classical twist to the scene. *sigh* wish I could’a been there…
