Amanda Palmer and her Ukele Radiohead Cover Album UPDATED

I am so glad that Amanda Palmer loves her Ukele. Why? Because I have had this ukele article on the instrument’s emerging new popularity that I’ve been wanting to share with you all forever, but had no way of tying it in to anything else. So here comes Amanda Palmer, I think the hardest working musician in the biz today, she has put out an Evelyn Evelyn album this year and now she’s coming out with a Ukele Cover Album of Radiohead songs. Here’s a tune. The album is released July 17.

UPDATE: Watch Palmer play the entire album
