Radiohead turned up on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend to perform "Lotus Flower" from their most recent album, The King of Limbs, and an as-yet-unreleased number called "Staircase."

The song, which is built around a busy yet understated rhythm and an eerie synthesizer drone, might have been a bit too subtle for a big televised performance, but since when has Radiohead ever gone with the obvious, safe choice?
