Radiohead's moody, powerful song Exit Music (For a Film) has been a favorite of fans for some time. Leaving aside the many, many earnest solo YouTube efforts, I was amazed by the number of working musicians who discovered something new to do with this song:
- Vampire Weekend
- Glen Phillips with part or all of Nickel Creek
- Amanda Palmer solo and with Dresden Dolls
- Brad Mehldau's jazz trio
- a jazz quintet
- a solo pianist
- a steel drum orchestra
- two reggae versions
- two choir versions
- a string quartet
- and several other interesting instrumental groups
But this is my favorite: The University of Arizona marching band, complete with baton/flag twirlers and unusual band formations.
