Radiohead have announced that they will be releasing their appearance on the BBC television program From the Basement as a DVD and Blu-Ray before the end of the year. The band are selling the discs – which will come packaged with a free download coupon and 32-page hardcover book – through their website with the promise that packages will arrive in time for Christmas. The set will be available at traditional retailers in January.

The band's performance on From the Basement was produced by their regular collaborator Nigel Godrich and includes live renditions of every song from their most recent album, The King of Limbs. In addition to those eight tunes, the group also performed the non-album single "Supercollider" and two unreleased numbers, "Staircase" and "The Daily Mail."

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette | 1973

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
