And this, from another site:
"Interestingly, the guy who's doing the music for the series, Michael Armstrong, says that the easiest catalogue to re-work thus far has been Nirvana's because of the simplicity of the music. The toughest among the albums he's finished so far? Radiohead. Apparently, it took him forever to transcribe their songs, as he was finding random (and tricky) guitar parts that he didn't want to just edit out before glockenspieling the whole thing. He says 'Let Down' was a particularly tough one for him. 'It took four hours to figure that one out,' he says. 'I hope they appreciate it because nobody else probably will.'
Not surprisingly, another toughie is the band whose catalogue he's working through now: The Beach Boys. 'It's about five times as hard as Radiohead. It's not the toughest to match the sentiment; but musically, there's a lot of vocal harmonies. It's really tough to fit all the music in, and I'm not sure I'm going to. But it'll resemble the Beach Boys some way.'"
I am so proud of him!!
Also, he's forming a new band with some other guys. It's sort of ambient stuff. He's so damned cool.
