Thanks for the links. I know it's just two guys playing guitar but the picture of Thom Yorke on the "Tell Me Why" link and the Neil image just above it to the right (for "Concert Reviews") are eerily similar...
Review "King of Limbs" (the new Radiohead album) from Mojo Magazine:
#7. Give Up The Ghost
A whiff of Neil Young (Yorke is a fan), perhaps through My Morning Jacket's echo box, about this gorgeous "round". An acoustic guitar - really! - chings. Dies in the arms of dryads as backwards drums flap.

Dear Neil Young adepts,
Nice Radiohead covers. Please check out youtube and watch: Dead Confederate from Athens, Georgia, performing the entire Tonight's the night album.

Recently saw them play in Holland - they are great.
Thanks for posting these links! Radiohead does some of the best Neil covers that I've heard and Thom seems very simpatico in his interpretations. For the best Radiohead cover, see Young At Heart Chorus and their version of Fake Plastic Trees.
On a funny note, I've been listening to the early download of The King of Limbs album, and the first song Bloom just completely freaks out my dog Henry!? It kind of reminds me of Yo La Tengo's song Beach Party Tonight but with a staccato overlay that makes you feel relaxed and nervous at the same time. "If dogs run free...."
