WHOA: Radiohead To Perform On Saturday Night Live Season Opener, Plus TKOL RMX 4

Well this is interesting! Radiohead, my favorite band in the world and the masters of random surprises, have kept yet another one under their sleeves until now. Pitchfork reports (via USA Today) that the band will be the musical guests on the season opener of Saturday Night Live, marking their second appearance on the, eh, comedy program since they rocked through "Idioteque" from the still-totally-awesome Kid A and hung out with Kate Hudson 11 years ago. I tend to average about 6 minutes of viewing SNL per year, so I'm happy they'll be spent seeing Radiohead rock something off of The King of Limbs.

In kind of related news, the band is now streaming Volume 4 of their TKOL RMX series, featuring takes on "Give Up The Ghost," "Codex," and "Little By Little" by Thriller Houseghost, Illum Sphere, and Shed. Check it out below, and keep your fingers crossed that this is all leading up to a frakking tour this year.
