Just wonderful

If you've been listening to Radio One in the evenings recently, you'll have heard Pete Tong and Zane Lowe playing a cover version of Radiohead's "Just". Seemingly recorded by Blackpool Pier's brass band after a drunken night out with a drum machine, it isn't the aural disaster you might suspect.

Indeed, it quite fantastically turns Radiohead's miserable-but-cuddly stadium anthem into a rooty old-skool funk jam. We particularly like the trumpet solo.

The track comes courtesy of hip-hop producer Mark Ronson, with Alex Greenwald on vocals. You can only get it as a strictly limited edition white label from one of those shops that smell of wet carboard for the time being. Apparently, they're still trying to sort out copyright and all that, but we think Thom and co should let this one pass. They could even have a little dance to it, and maybe then they'd cheer up for a second or two.

In the meantime, we tracked it down at Best foot forward, but you can get a copy from us, too. Until we exceed our bandwidth limit, that is.

The first big hit of 2006?
