Guardian staff answer Radiohead's newspaper with a “Creep” cover
Staff at the Guardian have recorded “Creep” under the name The Radio Eds, in reply to The Universal Sigh, the newspaper Radiohead put out today. They played and produced the track themselves.
The assistant foreign editor, Mark Rice-Oxley, plays one of the guitars, the food and drink subeditor Rick Peters plays bass, and Pascal Wyse, a multimedia producer, adds trombone. The banjo is played by Tim Dowling, who writes a column for the paper's Weekend magazine. Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of Guardian News & Media, is on keyboards, and Ed Vulliamy, who writes for the Guardian and the Observer, sings lead.
