Weezer cover Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android'

Looking for a classic redux? Look no further.

Neo-power-popsters Weezer got a little post-modern Friday when they posted their cover to Radiohead's "Paranoid Android," arguably OK Computer's best song.

And just in time (sort of). Lead singer/guitarist Rivers Cuomo's Twitter says he's writing new material. For those of you that haven't enjoyed Weezer since the Make Believe days, that's why I said sort of.

ANYWAY, the cover sounds really good. The key change is nice and ambient, sounding vaguely like a boosted Slightly Stoopid. But you don't have to take my word for it. Just listen for yourself.
