Radiohead kicked off the European leg of their In Rainbows tour this weekend with a spankin’-new song entitled “Super Collider,” which had previously been sound-checked by the band. Thom Yorke used the encore portion of both Dublin shows to test the new tune with a solo performance. Also performed during sound-checks and posted onto the Radiohead social network waste.central, is Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood attempting Portishead’s “The Rip,” from that group’s recent album, Third. Posted by Colin Greenwood, the video of the duo covering the song was captured backstage at the band’s show last month in St. Louis. Check out the audio and video below!

If you caught last week’s review of Black Shampoo (a.k.a. Wilco) playing at The Cavern in Dallas, I am sure some of you will be relieved to hear that the unreal-sounding gig was just that - a piece of pure concert fan-fiction (the first of its genre?) courtesy of Hypeful contributor Nico intended not to defraud, but to entertain. I didn’t realize the review was intended as a joke until after it went up and despite having “removed” it from the site, the post apparantly lives on courtesy of Google Cache. (A ghost is born!) Despite being up for a limited time, this completely unintended hoax may’ve accidentally fooled more people than Hypeful’s April Fools gag about Sufjan converting to Scientology.

Anyhoo, I hope this clears things up and apologize for the confusion. For those of you who missed the faux-review or for those who are just looking for some hot Tweedy fanfic, I’m going to save the post from Google Cache purgatory and re-post the full thing after the jump!

Frontman Chris Martin has revealed that Coldplay recorded a song with Kylie Minogue for their new album (Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends), but they scrapped it from the album for being (say it with me) - “TOO SEXY!!!” However, Martin says he suspects that the track, entitled “Lunar”, will be included on an album the band will release sometime next year.
