Radiohead covered The Smiths and played a number of their own songs in a webcast premiered online this weekend.
Thom Yorke and co's innovative approach to 21st century technology continued with a series of sketches, art works and live performances.
Radiohead DJed throughout the programme, spinning tunes by acts such as MIA and Kings Of Leon, and also at one point imitating "Monty Python" and the movie "Se7en".
Preceding a segment with the phrase "And now for something completely different…", Yorke's head was then revealed in a bag, rather than Gwyneth Paltrow's in the film's actual conclusion.
Elsewhere, the band performed "The Headmaster Ritual" by The Smiths, New Order's "Ceremony" and a number of original tracks.
Radiohead's own "15 Step", "I Might Be Wrong", "Reckoner" and "Faust Arp" also featured, performed in numerous locations, including a hill-top and a rehearsal studio.
Explaining the webcast to viewers, Yorke said: "This is our way of celebrating the fact that way have finished a record. Yeah Yeah Yeah. So, we've been doing some stupid stuff the past few weeks knocking some things together.
"Don't expect any high quality cause there is none except of course when the professionals are involved because we need them."
Radiohead release their new album, "In Rainbows", on December 31, after issuing the recordings as download-only in October.
