While we’re in the flashback mood, here’s a video of Radiohead performing “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” at Pinkpop in 1996. Some of you may not be aware of this, but Jonny plays the guitar and keyboard at the same time during this song, which is shown towards the end of the video. Enjoy!

We’ve linked to this performance before and thought that it deserved another mention. One of the better performances of “Paranoid Android” occurred on Later… with Jools Holland back in 1997. It’s clearly evident why Jonny used to wear that brace on his wrist due to RSI (repetitive strain injury). He abuses that guitar… in a good way.
In case you haven’t heard, a long-haired Thom Yorke performed a solo set at the Big Chill this past weekend, and slipped the newish “Give up the Ghost” song in to the setlist. Up until now, it hasn’t been clear if this was going to be a Thom Yorke/Atoms for Peace song or a new Radiohead song. At the end of the song, Thom clears that up by saying “That’s a new Radiohead song.” And there you go.
Below is a video of it for your viewing (and listening) pleasure:

Wow, just wow.
I’m sure the folks at Capitol sent this out as a response to the Beavis and Butt-Head episode where they watched “Creep.”
