There’s Still Only One Of Me
The Lonesome Organist “One Of Me” – The Lonesome Organist is Jeremy Jacobsen, a one-man-band in the most literal sense of the phrase when he performs live. He plays a wide variety of instruments (often simultaneously) and covers a surpisingly diverse range of musical genres. This particular song finds Mr. Jacobsen harmonizing with himself as a one-man a cappella doo-wop group.
The Section “The National Anthem” – This is taken from the new string quartet tribute to Radiohead record by The Section, who previously recorded their own version of OK Computer in its entirety. I’m very fond of this arrangement of “The National Anthem,” particularly the approximation of the atonal horn sounds towards the end of the song.
