For all you Yanks Happy Thanksgiving and welcome back shoppers. I hope your Black Friday was an event filled funfest and you spent it getting GPS devices for your mom, video games and movies for your brothers, and loads of food in you belly. I know I did. For the rest of the world I’m sorry that you don’t get to participate in the buying frenzy that is the holiday season in the US. It really is something to behold and as this is my first holiday time in the states since 2004 I am enjoying it to the fullest.
But regardless if you went shopping or not today here are some tracks that anyone can enjoy. Consider this a prelude to the greatness that is to come. I hope to have a steady stream of posts from now until the new year with a lot of Christmas music, a lot of Sufjan Stevens, and quite possibly the best BOTM volume you’ll ever see. Honestly.
For this post I dipped awhile back to when Radiohead played a webcast they called Thumbs_Down. The reason it was given this wonderfully sketchy moniker is as follows. During the webcast Thom said “This is Thumbs_Down cause it’s … [holds thumbs down to camera]… We’re gonna play some music as we can still stand up. This is our way of celebrating the fact that way have finished a record. We’ve been doing some stupid stuff the past few weeks knocking some things together. Don’t expect any high quality cause there isn’t any.”
Anyway, here are four of the tracks they played. Three of them are cover songs and one is my favorite Radiohead song of all time. Enjoy.

mp3 : Radiohead - The Headmaster Ritual (The Smiths Cover)
mp3 : Radiohead - Unravel (Bjork Cover)
mp3 : Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong

Thanks for putting these up.
The ceremony cover is strangely close to the original. It definitely sounds like rh early in their career. what year is it from?
wait. so does the smith’s cover. are these really from 2007, as the tag says?
