Radiohead performed in Miami last night, and they played two new songs, which have already made their way to YouTube.

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke dropped by Los Angeles club, Low End Theory, for a surprise DJ set. And while normally a video like this wouldn’t be interesting at all, the short black and white video manages to capture that symbiotic relationship between an enthusiastic crowd and a DJ controlling them with his music.
