Radiohead Unveil "Supercollider," Portishead Cover
Ateaseweb.com's been closely following all that's going with Radiohead, because that is what they do. A few weeks ago the site reported the band's been tinkering with a new tune during soundcheck, and yes now a new song's in the setlist. It's called "Super Collider." Dublin got the first performance of it on Friday night: Thom solo, soulful vocal overtop a central, major-key piano figure (a quick flip to a descending minor thing and a bridge, too). Also, as for the Single Song Eliciting Multiple Instances Of Goosebumps award I just made up, this year's big winner is Portishead's "The Rip," which did it upon premature evaluation and again in the desert and again in pencil-drawn form. Just the prospect of Thom and Jonny covering it backstage in St. Louis was enough for a fourth, Thom's vocal swell where the band would enter a fifth, and so on. Two Heads are better than one. (Shoot me I just did that.) So there's that little video waiting for you, too.
"Super Collider"
"The Rip" (Portishead cover)
Here's a vote for that -- full-band, "Unravel"-style -- at the next internet party. I like how Thom's reading the lyrics off his Macbook. Thom Yorke: He's just like us! Except that he's an alien. From laptop-enabled Radiohead, we bring you dot-matrix enabled Radiohead: On Friday BWE tipped us to "Nude," done by a roomful of old-school computer gadgets. Stick with it through the bleeps .

Anyone know of an easy way to convert the Rip youtube clip above into an mp3? Even though it's a raw lofi recording, I would love to have that on my iPod

I enjoyed "Super Collider." The "Nude" cover is incredible.

Am I an asshole if that main descending piano line keeps reminding me of the guitar in "Where the Streets Have No Name"?

Tom Yorke demonstrates what is he made of. Nice cover...I recomend to all the portishead´s fans the new band in wich Adrian Utley colaborated. "The Blessing" for the ones who don´y know:
