Free Friday Ear Food - Radiohead From the Basement/I'll Be Your Mirror Mixtape

EDIT:  Video of full show now included.

  1. Trivia: Who wrote the songs "All Tomorrow's Parties" and "I'll be your mirror" and which band performed them?

  2. The last time Radiohead played From the Basement they played a couple of old songs. Optimistic was one of them.

  3. That would be Lou Reed who wrote the song for The Velvet Underground.
