For those of you who missed it the Radiohead DVD of really impressive versions of King of Limbs tracks has been out for a little while, and it comes complete with a cd of the session. Stream it and try before you buy, or as the Germans say don't buy a cat in the sack. (turn HD on if you have a fast connection).

Radiohead - Live From the Basement 2011 von andybe29

To celebrate here is an absolutely fantastic version of my favourite Thom Yorke track and some solo basement tracks.

godspeed you radiohead!

Yes! New Radiohead album in 4 days!

But there is a fixed price for it this time. Whatever, eh! Pre-order The King of Limbs here

'The name of the new album relates to an oak tree in Wiltshire's Savernake Forest, thought to be around 1,000 years old. The forest lies around three miles away from Tottenham House, a listed country house where Radiohead recorded part of 'In Rainbows'.

The tree is a pollarded oak, referring to an ancient technique for harvesting timber for fencing and firewood. The phrase also appears in the 23rd chapter of the Qu'ran.' - Thanks NME

Here is the lead single, Lotus Flower
