In the first line-up change in their history (save for a brief cameo from their producer Nigel at a show), Radiohead have added a second drummer Clive Deamer (of Portishead!!!) for the From The Basement concert being broadcast on BBC on July 1st...

On their YouTube channel they released a new track from the session called "The Staircase". It's very synth and beat heavy, but there are some guitar noises in there, so that may quell the masses who don't like the new direction.

Even then, when is the last time that they brought in another musician? I can hardly even think of a handful of times. Nigel played a tambourine once on 'In Limbo', they had a horn section for an infrequent performance of 'Living In A Glass House'. Also the marching band for '15 Step' at the Grammys, but that wasn't a full band performance.

This tune actually really grows. It reminds me a bit of Amnesiac-era brooding moods, but with a much faster paced drum beat.

"next thing you know they'll be doing 45 minute space-noodle jams"

Well not quite 45 minutes, but still space-noodle jammy.
