Meshell stated in a July 2001 interview with Billboard that Cookie was influenced somewhat by Radiohead's 2000 release "Kid A".

Specifically she was quoted as saying "I loved 'Kid A' texturally."

Now... imagine Meshell covering Radiohead's "The National Anthem" off of "Kid A." The lyrics... the bass... butterflies...

Just a thought...

Oh yes what a thought !
Kid A is in deed a great album.

In 2002 (if I remember well) during her Parisian show Meshell did a cover of another track from Kid A : it was "evreything in its right place", the first track of the CD : I remember it as a truely great moment

i will name my first child after the person who can get me a recording of that... i mean, rage against the machine is one thing... but radiohead?

Well, your first child won't be a Sébastien since my recorder was confiscated that day before the show started... but the music still echoes in my mind : they couldn't take it away !

probably a good thing since my first will probably be a girl

Wait, What Rage song did she cover? This is the first time that I have heard anything about her covering Radiohead or Rage.

not 100% sure but i think one of the Rage songs she covered was Bulls On Parade...i think she did it on one of the live Luna Park shows in 1999...

A-MAZ-ING...

derek is correct.

i hope björk gets a copy of smj. i'd love for her and meshell to collaborate... i know i'm not the only one thinking of björk when i listen to "aquarium"
