Last night Thom Yorke surprisingly showed up at Low End Theory in Los Angeles where he DJ’d alongside Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer. His DJ set included Burial, Modeselektor, Kraftwerk, Squarepusher, Madvillain, Major Lazer, among other things and laster about an hour and 20 minutes. Nigel Godrich was also there.

This isn’t the first time Thom has done a surprise DJ set in LA. You may remember that in 2009 he showed up and did a DJ set at the Roosevelt.

Were you there? Let us know in the comments!

UPDATE: More from the LA Times after the jump.

The Thom Yorke Dancing Meme

We resisted as much as we could to post this, but it has to be done. With the release of the “Lotus Flower” video last Friday, the Internet has exploded with a new meme of people taking the video and having Thom dance to different music. Below is a sample of what is out there for your enjoyment. Let’s never speak of this again, okay?

Radiohead 2nd Most Popular Music Artist in Social Media

The website We Are Hunted has just released their online music research reports for July to December 10, 2010 and has Radiohead ranked pretty high. It comes as no surprise that the band would do so well in social media since they’ve traditionally had a strong following online.

Radiohead is ranked #2 in the Mainstream Chart (Muse is #1), #14 in Twitter mentions for similar music artists, and 36th in online news coverage.

If you’re interested in the breakdowns, we recommend this cool PDF.

Gilles Peterson thinks Radiohead’s album is done. Or not.

Okay, take this for what it’s worth, but Thom Yorke appeared at The Worldwide Awards 2011, where he presented Flying Lotus with the award for “Album of the Year”. BBC 1’s Gilles Peterson chatted with Thom and FlyLo afterwards and apparently Thom indicated that the new Radiohead album is done. Unfortunately, this wasn’t captured on video (below) so all we have to go by is Peterson’s word.

Peterson says:

“I think we’re just lucky that Radiohead are having some free time at the moment. And Thom was just hanging out. He enjoyed himself. And there’s a new Radiohead album if you’re wondering. Just done I believe,”

Peterson said this during his Worldwide Awards highlight show on BBC 1 and you can listen to the clip here (the part about Radiohead begins at 1:26).

Here’s a video of the Thom, Flying Lotus, and Peterson talking:

Nothing official is confirmed so we’ll just keep this in the rumor bin.
