It’s been covered fairly extensively already, but in case you missed it: the Radiohead webcast was an excellent affair. I missed the opening 20 minutes thanks to me sleeping in, but it featured lots of enjoyably off-kilter moments and it looked like the band was having a really good time.

There were a couple of surprises in terms of the performances. Faust Arp recorded in the countryside was one. I should have expected more covers after Thom nonchalantly dropped a rendition of Bjork’s Unravel in a preliminary test broadcast – nonetheless I was in shock/over the moon when they covered the Smiths’ Headmaster Ritual and New Order/Joy Division’s Ceremony both of which I thought were really nicely executed.

Most of the broadcast highlights (videos and mp3s) are available on Pitchfork’s coverage of the event. Adam Buxton also wrote a great blog entry talking about the background behind some of the items and how it all came together.
