Pitchfork

Couldn't tell you the last time I visited VH1.com, but nestled somewhere amid the T&A that's blowing up all over their homepage right now is one pretty exciting morsel of news: on May 3, VH1 will broadcast "Radiohead_In Rainbows_From the Basement".

The title tells it like it is: Radiohead will perform selections from In Rainbows on the program, direct from the confines of Nigel Godrich's famed basement studio. According to an At Ease report, we can look forward to "Bodysnatchers", "Nude", "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi", "15 Step", "House of Cards", and "Reckoner", plus non-Rainbows cuts "Optimistic", "Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner)", and "Where I End and You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In)".

VH1 even has a clip of "Reckoner" up right now, and gosh does it sounds awful purty. Just the thing to get you even more stoked for that Radiohead tour, which finally kicks off early next week in Florida.

And hmm, live in-studio Radiohead performance, now why does that sound familiar...?
