This news from Pitchfork would make a lot more sense if I knew.
"Radiohead's performance on their producer Nigel Godrich's TV show "From the Basement" is coming to America. The special will air on July 23-- this Saturday-- at 9 p.m. on Palladia. It'll also be on MTV2 at 3 a.m. on July 30. (Check local listings.) Set your DVR accordingly. The performance features Radiohead performing The King of Limbs in full, as well as a few new tracks."
I suppose I'll have to see if such a channel exists here in New York then. I've already watched the show online - it aired outside of the US a week or two ago, you can find it on YouTube. It's excellent stuff, maybe even better than the record versions, and the new song "The Daily Mail" is wonderful. They also tell us that the remixes Yorke & Co have been releasing will all be collected onto a disc of their own to be released this Fall, so if you care stay tuned for that!

I've got the airing of this full session written in my calendar for July 1st - indeed that's what was said when it was announced - but for right now here's Radiohead performing a full new song called "Staircase" from their live session In The Basement (which is producer Nigel Goodrich's web-show)(via):

I was listening to Radiohead's The King of Limbs on my way to work this morning and thinking to myself that whenever I listen to the album I always find myself wishing there was more of it. And then I wondered if that weren't just a euphemism for me wishing there was just one song on it that I loved loved. Oh I like several of them quite a bit, but if I were listing my favorite Radiohead songs I'm not sure just how high TKOL's best tracks - "Codex," "Separator" and "Lotus Flower"? - would place. But if you take their last album In Rainbows there are at least four songs - "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" and "Reckoner" and "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" and the heart-swelling "All I Need" - that'd easily rank crazy high. I guess it's true that TKOL is just a more laid-back sorta beast; less inclined to hook than to gently pulse. But still. I like Thom best when he stirs my insides.
Anyway we appear to be getting a little more after all, if you count a series of official remixes as such. Maybe they'll manage to up the drama a little bit? Pitchfork reports:
"On July 4, Radiohead kick off a series of limited edition 12" releases featuring remixes from their latest album, this year's The King of Limbs. The first 12" contains Caribou's remix of "Little by Little" backed by Jacques Greene's take on "Lotus Flower".XL and Ticker Tape will be handling the releases, which will come out throughout the coming summer via independent record stores and Radiohead's website (for audio junkies, WAV files of the remixes will also be available from Boomkat and Radiohead's site)."
