If you’re interested, Pitchfork have got you covered for most of the videos/MP3s from the webcasts. Live versions of “Reckoner”, “Bodysnatchers”, “I might be Wrong”, “Videotape” , an outdoor acoustic “Faust Arp”, a camera-helmet assisted version of “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” as well as covers of The Smiths – “The Headmaster Ritual” , New Order – “Ceremony” and Bjork – Unravel.
There was DJ sets and oddities galore but my favourite is the humorous video mashup of the film Se7en and “15 Steps” featuring Thom Yorke’s head in a box.

What an evening! 3 hours kicking back with my favourite band, over at their gaff. Tree mendous. Why can’t every Friday evening be like that eh?
Apparently David Byrne interviewed Thom Yorke a few hours before the webcast, should be a cracking interview when it comes out.
By the way, if anyone’s looking for the webcast, it’s downloadable here (individual tracks OR the whole thing, in audio AND video formats, oh yes):

How was it that I remained totally oblivious to the existence of this event until the following day? I need to subscribe to more music blogs!
Thanks for all these links anyway.. think I’ll grab the whole thing and give it a watch when I get the time.
