Pictured: Mark Ronson knows your songs better than they know themselves, not unlike music jesus.
Mark Ronson is the producer behind British wunderkinds/absolute fuck-ups, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse. When he isn’t ruining young girls lives with booze and drugs (to be fair, I think Ronson only hits the booze.) He’s saucing up dance tracks with horns, funky bass, and clavinova.
Ronson’s new album, Version is just that; versions of songs from the likes of Radiohead to The Kaiser Chiefs. They get the full Ronson treatment, from funky trumpet solos, to completely bombastic (bordering on obnoxious) drumbeats. One wonders how some scrawny-ass British dude became the funkiest person on the planet. Maybe Noel Fielding knows.
This track features the good looking dude from Phantom Planet singing, “Just” by Radiohead. I must say, as good as he is, I’ve never heard Thom Yorke croon like this.
