Radiohead: Thumbs Up-Down Globe Two months after In Rainbows was released, Radiohead streamed live videos of the band celebrating, djing, and performing several of their songs.

The band performed Jigsaw Falling Into Place, with video cameras attached to helmets, as Thom Yorke sang into an EV RE20 microphone. Reckoner followed, as well as a cover of Unravel by Bjork.

During the video stream, Thom Yorke held a mic and called Johnny over “for moral support,” and then said:

“Hello, yes. This is thumbs down, because it’s [thumbs down], and we are here. We’re going to play some music if we can still stand up. This is our way of celebrating the fact that we finished a record.

What else? We’ve been doing some stupid stuff for a couple of weeks knocking some things together. Don’t expect any quality level because there is none. Except for of course the professionals are involved, and there are a couple here because frankly we need them.

It’s very nice to have everybody here. I can’t let you listen now, I’ll do it later. I’ll write it down. Please help me out by [Johnny pokes Thom with a broom handle]… Play the bloody video!”
